In this episode, Tyler and Gary sit down with pop-punk band Cold Streets to talk about how the band formed out of longtime friendships, shared faith, and a love for early-2000s punk influences like MXPX, Relient K, and Blink-182. The band discusses their songwriting process, the making of their new single “Over and Over” and its music video, and how their sound naturally leans toward nostalgic, melodic punk. They also share plans for their first full-length album, reflect on what it means to be Christians in a band without labeling themselves a “Christian band,” and keep the conversation light with stories about tours, influences, and fandom moments.
