719: From Mountain Tops to Bass Drops
The Breakdown
In this engaging interview, Skyler McCarthy from the bands 719 and Silence Becoming shares his journey in music, the creative process behind his projects, and his passion for outdoor adventures. Discover insights into metalcore production, the importance of collaboration, and how to support local music scenes.
You ever have a backstage moment where you totally miss who you're talking to? I did — turned out I was chatting with a drummer of a famous band, and I didn't even know!
Drop a 🔥 if you've ever had a “wait, that was who?” moment.
I'm Ryan, your friendly neighborhood metalhead, and this is the kind of randomness I get into — from rock climbing to making music in Texas. My guest? Skyler from 719 and Silence Becoming, who just casually rips through synthwave, metal, and when he's not on stage, he's conquering Big Bend. (Border walls? Not his vibe!)
Turns out, drummers might be the real MVPs — they’re holding up everything, even if nobody notices! Plus, his solo project 719 is all about collaborations and catchy short tracks, perfect for our Attention Span Society.
