Awsten Knight of Waterparks to join Joel Madden on Ep.4 of Artist Friendly

Are you ready? Artist Friendly, the music podcast hosted by Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden, is returning for another episode featuring an organic, one-on-one conversation with one of the industry’s most exciting talents. 

Following previous episodes with DE’WAYNECarlie Hanson, and Leafar Seyer (Prayers), Artist Friendly welcomes alternative’s beloved “mischief maker,” Awsten Knight, the frontman of the genre-bending pop-punk trio Waterparks. For this week’s episode, which drops Wednesday, Feb. 8, Madden connects with Knight to trace the origins of his unique songwriting approach and fearless attitude that has thrust the artist into a constant balancing act between being a rockstar on stage and a celebrity online — all while trying to be the best role model for his dedicated fanbase. The conversation couldn’t come at a better time, as Waterparks is set to release their highly-anticipated fifth studio album Intellectual Property on Apr. 14 and shortly after will embark on a North American headlining tour with indie-rock darlings HUNNY. 

The upcoming episode of Artist Friendly will be available whenever you listen to podcasts this Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, and onYouTube, as well.
