Watch Frank Iero, The Skints, Sleeptalk and The Active Set on Episode 2 of Sounds of the Underground
Alternative music TV show Sounds of the Underground has released their second episode featuring performances and interviews with Frank Iero and The Future Violents, The Skints, Sleeptalk, and The Active Set. The show aired on CBS and digitally premiered with Alternative Press.
In the episode, Frank Iero discussed his career with the Future Violents, formerly the cellabration (2014) and the Patience (2016). “I love that excitement in naming [a band], who is going to be in it, what it’s going to sound like, what the aesthetic behind it is,” Iero says. “It’s just so much fun.”
Sounds of the Underground is the first and only alternative music show focused on exposing up-and-coming artists while showcasing them alongside major artists and international talent. Developed by Johnny Zirkel, and airing on CBS, Sounds of the Underground is seeking to bring music to a starving audience once more.
Tired of typical music industry politics keeping bands from growing, Zirkel decided to develop the show as a way to give artists of all levels the opportunity to reach new fans based solely on talent and drive, and nothing else. With the decline of festivals focused around the genre, Zirkel hopes that Sounds will fill that gap to help artists and fans connect and build relationships with each other once again. The ‘underground’ scene is not dead, and they are here to make sure it stays alive.
“Not one artist on Sounds Of The Underground had to do anything other than be talented and driven to be on the show,” Zirkel tells Alternative Press in the official announcement. “They didn’t have to pay anything or sell tickets or win a contest or have a crazy number of followers or have a label. They just had to be talented and driven.”
