Crystal Lake - Ryo Kinoshita - Ian Hates Music #229

March 5, 2026

Now I get to say something I never thought I’d get to say, Ryo Kinoshita, the lead vocalist for Japanese metal band Crystal Lake, is the featured guest on this episode of Ian Hates Conversations: Music Edition!

Ryo and Crystal Lake are finishing up their first tour in America before heading back overseas for more touring. They also released their brand new album ‘Helix’ through SharpTone Records recently with a lot of acclaim and praise. Rightfully so, it’s a favorite of Ian’s.

Ryo takes time out to be on Ian Hates Conversations before another live show to talk about touring, Helix, and more, so check it out!

You may not know this, but English is not Ryo’s first language, so it was very cool for Ian to catch up with him on the phone, though not being able to see each other while talking does make it even more impressive that Ryo was able to join the show. If you know Ian’s past shows, you’ll know he changed his cadence a bit and slowed down his speaking speed to make things easier.

Make sure to support Ryo and Crystal Lake by following the links below:

Huge thanks to Ryo for taking time out of his extremely busy touring schedule to come on Ian Hates Conversations: Music Edition. Hopefully Crystal Lake will return to the US for more touring in the future. Make sure you check them out, pick up a copy of ‘Helix’, and continue the support!

The Plot In You - Landon Tewers - Ian Hates Music #226

February 18, 2026

It’s a very cool episode of Ian Hates Conversations: Music Edition as Landon Tewers joins Ian in the Ian Hates “Studio”! (There’s a lot of ‘Ian’ in that sentence and I apologize).

At the time of this recording, Landon is finishing up his solo tour co-headlining with Ghost Atlas. If you’re not familiar with Landon Tewers, he has his solo work, projects like Ai640, writing and producing bands, AND he’s the lead vocalist of The Plot In You. Oh yeah, he’s also one of the most talented and versatile vocalists out there!

Let’s not give too much away in the description of the episode though. Ian and Landon talk in person about everything going on in Landon’s life, new tours, new music, and possible plans for the future.

Ian will normally remove background and strange noises from conversation episodes, but it didn’t feel necessary for this since it’s just two people face to face in the same room. Hope you enjoy!

Saving Vice - Tyler Small and Chase Papariello - Ian Hates Music #196

July 25, 2026

It's time for a very cool Ian Hates Conversations: Music Edition featuring the lead vocalists of Saving Vice, Tyler Small and Chase Papariello!

It's a really exciting time for Saving Vice as their debut EP 'Colder Than Dark' came out recently, they're playing the Massachusetts date of Warped Tour, and it was just announced that they'll be playing the main stage of iMatter Festival in August!

Tyler and Chase go over what the dynamic is like for them playing live, the dual vocalist stigma in Metalcore, and a whole lot more! You won't want to miss this!

In fact, this is such a good conversation, it's only Part 1! Brief warning though, as you'll hear in the conversation, there are some phone issues. For one, there are a couple (and I mean only a couple) weird sounds at the beginning of the call, but, there's also an issue where when Ian talks, Chase and Tyler's side sounds "underwater" for a couple seconds. This is a very strange phenomenon, which has only happened once or twice in the history of Ian Hates. It's addressed during the conversation early, and Ian tries to not chime in as much, but that changes the timing of a "normal" conversation. So, for Part 2, Ian and Saving Vice are going to speak LIVE at Warped Tour! So check out Part 1 now and Part 2 will be on its' way shortly!

Follow the links below to support Tyler, Chase, and Saving Vice with everything they do:

Many thanks to Chase and Tyler for taking the time to come on Ian Hates Conversations: Music Edition!
