Show Notes
This week I'm joined by Bryan W. Scott, lead singer of Union Underground, as we dive deep into the stories behind the songs from the band’s explosive debut album, ...An Education In Rebellion. From writing and recording to the album’s impact on early 2000s rock, Bryan gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what made this record a standout in the nu-metal and hard rock era.
We also talk about what it was like touring with Linkin Park at the height of their rise & Union Underground’s unforgettable live cover of Pantera’s “Cowboys From Hell” with Dave Williams of Drowning Pool during Ozzfest 2001 in New Jersey.
Plus, we explore how “Across The Nation” became the official theme song for WWE Monday Night Raw from 2002 to 2006, dive into music from Bryan’s other projects—Cult To Follow and Into The Fire—and discuss his recent solo cover of the Eagles’ classic “Take It Easy.”
If you're a fan of 2000s rock, nu-metal nostalgia, or just want the full story behind some of the genre’s most iconic moments, this episode delivers.
