We’re back after a couple of weeks off, and we’re coming back strong.
Our guest this week is Dan Swank — songwriter, producer and musician best known for his work with All Time Low. Dan has spent years balancing life on the road with life in the studio, and he’s become an essential part of the ATL machine both onstage and behind the scenes.
In this conversation we talk about his journey into music, how he found his place with All Time Low, and the discipline it takes to keep producing, writing and performing at the highest level. We get into his methods as a songwriter and producer, the reality of touring with one of the biggest bands in the scene, and even end up on a weird tangent about Vevo along the way. It’s a wide-ranging and honest chat that pulls back the curtain on what life really looks like when music is both your job and your passion.
As always, we’re also shining a light on new artists that deserve your attention. Episode 9 features:
easywin – raw, melodic and built for repeat listens.
Wnsdy at 7 – infectious energy with hooks that stick.
ear candy – slick, modern and unashamedly catchy.
Elevator Music is built around a simple idea: real conversations with the people who make music happen, and a platform for new bands to be heard without shortcuts or gatekeeping. There’s no pay to play here — it’s free forever, and it’s about connecting artists, fans and industry on an honest level.
