Burnout with Good Terms

In this episode, Matt sits down with Brian McShea, Ivan Barry, and Zach Boucher of Good Terms, an independent post-hardcore/pop-punk band known for their energetic, genre-blending sound and deep, introspective lyrics. We dive into the making of their latest album, Burnout—a record born from raw emotion and personal struggles. Brian also shares his story and experience from the chaos of the LA wildfires.
The guys open up about the writing process, the emotional weight behind the songs, and how fans, friends, and family have responded to the record. We also explore the band’s musical influences, the vulnerability of putting personal experiences into music, and what’s next for Good Terms.
🎧 Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering them, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!
