End Overdose Podcast #1 - Sextile

Sextile are a post-punk outfit hailing from Los Angeles, California. After their dark 2015 debut record, they slowly integrated more danceable touches to their aesthetic palate which culminated in 2018's brilliant 3 EP. But after the loss of their bandmate Eddie Wuebben to an accidental overdose in 2019, Sextile went on hiatus in pursuit of solo endeavors.
In 2022, they reunited with a brilliant double single "Modern Weekend / Contortion" and performed at End Overdose’s first benefit show: Nobody Else Has to Die. After sending the crowd into a frenzy with an unexpected drum & bass barrage, they continued their return to the live circuit before launching their new album Push in 2023. Featuring outright rave tracks like “New York,” the record is overflowing with a newfound optimism and signals a new day for Sextile
A few months after the release of Push, we spoke with Sextile founders Brady Keehn and Melissa Scaduto for the debut episode of the End Overdose Podcast. Our conversations covers their busy year in support of Push, why they’re such avid supporters of End Overdose, the future of overdose/prevention response in the music scene, and much more.
