Presents
The show about nothing, and somehow about everything. Late nights, wild stories, and the people who never quite fit in.
With over a decade immersed in the vibrant Louisville music scene, this five-piece metalcore collective has honed their craft into a powerful, emotive force. Each member’s journey is a testament to their dedication and skill, culminating in a sound that weaves together soaring melodies and intricate, groove-laden riffs. Their music is a tapestry of raw emotion and lyrical depth, designed to paint vivid sonic landscapes and breathe life into their artistic vision. Through their intense performances and heartfelt compositions, they aim to create a resonant experience that captivates and moves their audience.
FIENDS is Bobby Schubenski pulling back the curtain — on music, business, friendships, the weird corners of the internet, horror obsessions, and the stories you only tell at 3AM.
No script. No polish. Just real conversations with the people Bobby actually runs with — misfits, creators, and the ones building their own empires.
The crew bringing chaos, stories, and questionable decisions to your speakers every week.
Founder, storyteller, and chaos conductor. Guides every episode from zero to unhinged with a straight face.
The perfectly-wrong opinions, wild takes, and relentless roast energy that keeps Bobby honest.
The only sense of logic on the show. Always bringing the conversations back on track.
Bringing the art, custom pieces, and wild topics.
Sandi is living proof that sleep is optional when you’re a real one.
Calling Germany home, Sandi regularly sacrifices entire nights of rest to catch our shows and streams because time zones are just a suggestion when Fiends is involved. While most people are hitting snooze, she’s locked in, caffeinated, and somehow still beating us to the chat.
Sandi’s support goes beyond clicks, purchases, or late-night attendance. It’s constant, unwavering, and wildly appreciated. She shows up, she represents, and she does it with zero hesitation and maximum dedication.
We see you, Sandi.
We appreciate you.
Please consider sleep (but also… don’t change).
Not paid. Not filtered. Just real degenerates shouting into the void about FIENDS and somehow giving it five stars anyway.
“I love this podcast. It feels like I’m part of the conversation. I like how unscripted it is. So many different avenues that this podcast hits. It’s funny, it’s weird, it’s inspiring, and it’s bringing unsigned bands back into the forefront where they belong.”
“I’m lucky enough to say I’ve been here since the beginning and it’s always a wild ride. Just show up and be prepared for anything and everything. Bobby is truly yet again onto something here. Congrats Bobby on a killer podcast.”
“This podcast gets better with every episode. It’s relatable and relevant. It shows a POV and has excellent fan interaction and experiences unlike any I’ve heard or seen. A diamond in the rough”
“This podcast has a little of everything—humor, horror, inspiration, music, and community. Bobby and his crew make life more interesting. You must listen!”
