Justin Foley (Killswitch Engage / Lybica)

Joshua Toomey

In the world of music podcasting, there are basically two categories - podcasts by fans, and podcasts by famed musicians that have reached the pinnacle of success. Somewhere in the middle of that is the Talk Toomey podcast. Hosted by Joshua Toomey, who previously was a member of national recording artists Primer 55, Talk Toomey avoids the pitfalls of fandom and the backslapping glad handing that comes from successful bands shamelessly talking to each other. Instead, you get focused, powerful and real looks into “the inner circle” of being a hard rock/heavy metal band, complete with questions most are too afraid to ask because their experience doesn’t meet or exceed the level needed to ask and relate. Talk Toomey has been regularly hailed as a top show since the onset, being highlighted on sites like Blabbermouth, Brave Words, etc. Talk Toomey is released for music fans free every Thursday!

Justin Foley of Killswitch Engage joins the Talk Toomey Podcast to discuss his project, Lybica. The guys start the chat with some talk of Justin moving to Florida and dealing with hurricanes. Justin then talks about having three dummers by trade in the band and how they speak to each other in the writing process. He then speaks on his writing in Killswitch Engage and having a simple kit in such a heavy band. Justin remembers back in the day when he had a "Rush" kit and getting made fun of by the hardcore community. Joshua and Justin then talk about the recent Lamb Of God / Killswitch Engage tour. The guys talk about the revolving door of openers on the tour and how it was refreshing for the bands, Joshua touches on "Atonement" and Justin speaks on having his old friend Howard Jones back in the fold jumping on a song and on stage. The shift focuses back on Lybica and an all-instrumental band, tour plans and being cat people. Justin finishes the talk with some love for Metal Blade and where you can get the new record.
