Trixie Mattel
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Trixie Mattel.
Since winning RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2015, Mattel has blossomed into a formidable drag superstar, which makes her the perfect person to kick off Pride Month.

Jon Foreman of Switchfoot
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jon Foreman of Switchfoot.
The early aughts band rang in a big milestone last year with the 20th anniversary of The Beautiful Letdown. They celebrated by curating a special deluxe edition, featuring newly recorded tracks from fans of the band — including the Jonas Brothers, twenty one pilots’ Tyler Joseph, and Owl City, to name a few — in addition to a re-recorded version of the album and B-sides from the vault.
After performing the record in its entirety last year, they’re hitting the road again this summer with fellow vets Blue October and Matt Nathanson as part of a triple co-headliner, which features a rotating lineup every night.

Alec Benjamin
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Alec Benjamin.
Releasing his third studio album, 12 Notes, earlier this month, Benjamin takes us through a vulnerable journey, as each song is meant to mirror a journal entry and represent a different section of his life.
Naturally, that includes taking different turns across the whole album, including rapping (“I Sent My Therapist to Therapy”) and working with Grammy-winning duo Stargate for pop love songs (“Different Kind of Beautiful”).
Benjamin also recently announced his headline tour, launching in September, where he will make stops in more than two dozen cities across North America.

Jake Duzsik of HEALTH
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jake Duzsik of HEALTH.
Last year’s RAT WARS, their sixth studio album and one of their best, is loaded with menacing bite, noisy gloom, and crushing danceability that points to an apocalyptic future, balancing a bold, ambitious vision with despair.
Now, the neo-industrial trio are taking that record out on the road, including an appearance at Download Festival and a date opening for Bring Me the Horizon in June. HEALTH also recently teamed up with Bad Omens on their heavy new song “THE DRAIN.”

Reyna Roberts
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Reyna Roberts.
For the unfamiliar, Roberts is a fast-rising country artist. Last year was huge for the “princess of outlaw country,” as she shared her debut album, Bad Girl Bible, Vol. 1, toured with Reba McEntire, and was featured in the Grammy Museum.
The Alabama-bred artist also recently snagged two features on Beyonce’s heel-turn country album Cowboy Carter — her first features ever — on the tracks “Blackbiird” and “Tyrant,” which coincides with her mission to bring more awareness to Black musicians within the genre.

Customer Reviews
Love this.
It’s so nice to hear from Joel this often and discover new artists! I just listened to the Bea Miller episode and wanted to second Greetings from California to come out on stream! I bought the CD when it came out and still rock a hoodie, amazing album.
Amazing
This podcast has quickly become apart of my weekly routine. I look forward to a new episode each week and am never disappointed. I love how raw the conversations are and how Joel let’s everything flow organically. I’ve discovered so many new artists and learned more about artists who's names I’ve been hearing for years. Having grown up with Good Charlotte’s music when I was a kid, I feel like I’m hanging out with an old friend every week. I can’t wait to see what Joel continues to do with his platform and have nothing but respect and praise for all the hard work that goes into, not only this podcast, but successfully running a business while simultaneously being so present in his family. It’s inspiring, insightful and straight up awesome! Go listen to Artist Friendly! You won’t regret it! 🤘🏼
Refreshingly genuine
Just finished the latest episode with Noah & I now love this podcast. I really appreciated the flow of conversation & found myself totally immersed. For me, introspection & self awareness is so important & I love hearing it on this podcast. Being able to listen to others speak their truth in an honest, open, and reflective way is a nice change from the day to day small talk. 100/10, would recommend.
