Amy Lee, Emma Anzai & Carl Bell

Amy Lee and Emma Anzai from Evanescence sit down to discuss their latest album Sanctuary, which has been crushing it at rock radio with multiple number one hits. Amy opens up about her dad's radio career and how it shaped her musical tastes growing up, while Emma shares her journey from Australia and her influences like Silverchair and the Chili Peppers. The conversation dives deep into the album's creation—a chaotic, serendipitous process spanning years with multiple producers including Nick Raskulinecz, Zakk Cervini, and Jordan Fish. They also share hilarious Spinal Tap moments from their current tour, including kabuki curtains falling on Amy mid-performance and Emma's pants splitting on stage. After that, Carl Bell, guitarist and primary songwriter for Fuel, sits down to discuss the band's exciting return with their first new music in years. The conversation covers the heavy new single 'Want It,' which marks the first studio recording with singer Aaron Scott. Bell opens up about the collaborative process, explaining how Aaron brought fully-produced ideas to the table and earned his trust as a co-writer. Bell also reflects on the current lineup's chemistry, emphasizing quality of life and actually enjoying the people you work with.
