On this episode of The Rumors Are True podcast, we welcome Brandon Mullins, vocalist of the post-hardcore band Across Five Aprils and metalcore outfit Embraced. Brandon takes us back to the early 2000s underground scene, where both bands made their mark with emotionally intense lyrics, chaotic live shows, and a DIY spirit that resonated with fans across the country. He talks about joining Across Five Aprils, recording their breakthrough releases like A Tragedy in Progress, and the evolution of the band’s sound and lineup over the years.

We also explore his earlier days with Embraced, a band known for blending melodic elements with brutal heaviness, and how that experience shaped his approach as a frontman. Brandon shares honest reflections on touring life, navigating the ups and downs of the music industry at a young age, and how it felt to step away from it all. He also opens up about his reconnection with music years later, the lasting friendships from those years, and the legacy of both bands in the scene.

Whether you were stage-diving at a VFW hall back in the day or discovering these bands for the first time, this is a deep and personal conversation you won’t want to miss.
