On this episode of The David Ellefson Show, David Ellefson and cohost Joshua Toomey welcome rising rock band Jayler, featuring James Bartholomew and Tyler Arrowsmith. The guys dive into the band’s upcoming album Voices Unheard, their growing momentum online, and the surreal experience of preparing to play shows in Brazil alongside Guns N' Roses. James and Tyler break down how classic influences like Led Zeppelin shaped their modern 70s-inspired sound, while still finding a fresh identity.
They also talk about embracing the social media algorithm, building a fanbase in today’s music landscape, and why independent artists can thrive by leaning into digital platforms instead of fighting them.
