Join Damian as he sits down with Ashrita Kumar and Paul Vallejo of Pinkshift for a powerful deep dive into the band’s newest album, Earth Keeper.

In this raw and emotional interview, the duo discusses their bold shift towards a heavier punk sound, the spiritual awakening sparked beneath a redwood tree, and how themes of nature, self-love, rage, and community shape their songwriting. Ashrita and Paul share their stories behind the album’s most intense moments, what it means to channel activism through music, and how touring has deepened their connection with fans and each other.
