HE’S WORKED WITH EVERYONE FROM BLINK-182 TO 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER AND HE’S A LEGEND IN HIS OWN RIGHT THANKS TO A LONG, CAREER WITH SKA-PUNK HEROES GOLDFINGER. NOW THEY’RE BACK WITH NEW ALBUM ‘THE KNIFE’ IT’S TIME TO BOW DOWN AND PAY TRIBUTE. ALL HAIL THE ONE, THE ONLY, JOHN FELDMANN.

“When I signed Beartooth at Red Bull Records, Caleb said I needed to meet this kid Tyler from Columbus who was an incredible singer. Through Tyler [Joseph] I was able to get in bed with Josh [Dun]. Not literally, of course! But it’s like I’ve known Twenty One Pilots forever. I’ve watched them grow into what they are now. We hang out a lot and I’ve written a bunch of songs with both of them and figured it would be really fun to get Josh in to play some drums on the new record.

HE’S SEEN AND DONE IT ALL…
