Interview: Full Blown Meltdown + Best of 2023

Will Green of Full Blown Meltdown released what is easily my favorite pop-punk album of 2023 with his debut Mollify. He's also an irrepressible DYI enthusiast who does more to support up and coming artists than most music publications with full-time, paid staff. Will was cool enough to accept my invitation to talk about his album for my podcast. In addition to getting the full "Inside the Music" style scoop on Mollify, we discussed our top 10 albums of 2023 (which is actually the bulk of our conversation), and geeked out over the anime we've been watching.
