On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jacob Charlton of Thornhill.
After opening for Sleep Token on their massive North American arena tour last year, Thornhill quickly captured the attention of the heavy scene. Now, however, they’re in the midst of their own headliner, dubbed the Mercia Tour, presented by our friends at Revolver.
While on the run, the frontman stopped by the Artist Friendly studio to dig into the grind of touring, the intentionality behind heavy music today, the evolution of Thornhill across their records, 2022’s Heroine and 2025’s Bodies, and what it takes to keep a band together for the long haul.
