Episode 473 - Elias Soriano (Nonpoint)

All right.

Like I mentioned, Nonpoint, Elias Soriano.

Brand new album, The Last Word, is coming out here in a week.

We've got a lot to talk about that with Elias we're going to get to shortly.

I just wanted to say that this is one of those bands that it's been cool to see the evolution throughout their career.

They debuted, I believe what statement came out in 2001, and pretty quickly they had made a name for themselves.

They got on Ozzfest.

I had a chance to see him there.

Honestly, off the top of my head, I can't remember if I saw that year in Dallas or Kansas City because I went several years in a row there, and it was always one or the other.

But I saw him at that, and then I saw him again that year whenever they performed at a local Tulsa radio fest, the Z104.5 birthday bash, which happened at...

A horse track in a town called Claremore, Oklahoma, which isn't too far from Tulsa.

And it was a pretty cool lineup.

A lot of the lineup is very 2001.

Oleander, Alien Ant Farm, Lifehouse, Fuel.

Who else was on that? I had that pulled up a minute ago.

Orgy was also on that bill.

Head P.E., who Nonpoint continues to tour with to this day.

And then also Nonpoint, I had mentioned.

And the last couple bands of the night were The Cult and Weezer.

So yeah, that was a great show.

And not long before that, I remember I had got the Statement CD.

But I had got a version that I was just like, you know, I'd heard What A Day.

On the radio.

Thought it was a cool song.

Really dug.

All right.
