Interview with Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire at Welcome To Rockville

My second interview at Welcome To Rockville was with Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire. Enjoy!

How has the response to Unconditional been?

Mullins - Incredible. I don't read too much into online as much as I just really enjoy one on one interactions with people at shows. When they come up to me and tell me if they like the record or if they don't, so far so good, no one has said anything negative and it's been such an incredibly positive, impactful record for the people who have dove into it.

How does it differ from Challenger?

Mullins -This record is just really personal, lyrically. It's all about the experiences that I've had over the past year and a half, things that I never thought would be introduced into my life, things I never thought I would go through. And ultimately how some of the worst times of my life led to a much deeper and more intimate relationship with God and how that is the foundation of my life at this point.

How do you deal with negative criticism?

Mullins - You have to take it with a grain of salt. It doesn't matter what kind of band you're in, what music you write, or how good your record is, there is always going to be criticism. We have peace knowing there are so many other bands you can listen to. Just go listen to them if you're not stoked [laughs]

Do you have a favorite song on the album?

Mullins - The song called "The Answer" is probably the song I would choose. It kinda sums up the whole Bible.

Favorite moment from the recording process?

Mullins - Every single minute working with Cameron Mizel. That guy is one of my favorite people in the world just to hang out with. So, I love having the excuse of doing records and spending months on end with him?

Anything else you want to add?


Mullins - Thanks for listening and love y'all. Go pick up Unconditional!
