Interview with P.O.D
We had the pleasure of interviewing Marcos Curiel of P.O.D. over Zoom video!\xa0
P.O.D.\xa0\u2014 Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel [guitar], Traa Daniels [bass], and Wuv Bernardo [drums] \u2014 have announced their upcoming summer and fall tour plans. The band will embark on a headline tour of the U.S., celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark,\xa0multi-platinum album\xa0Satellite.
The tour kicks\xa0off August 14\xa0and runs through October 7 in their native San Diego. From Ashes to New, All Good Things, and Sleep Signals will also appear. All dates are below. Tickets are available\xa0here.
"We've been touring and working hard for almost 30 years now," Sandoval says.\xa0"It's\xa0all\xa0we know. This past year has really made me realize how much I love what I do and how much I appreciate that I am still able to make music and play live for all of those who are still listening.\xa0Thank you to all of you who still love live music and can't wait to be a part of the P.O.D. experience. We can't wait to see all of your beautiful faces out on the road."
Curiel shares the sentiment, saying, "It's been way too\xa0long. We are beyond excited to get back to the stage \u2014 where we provide the rock and you provide the roll. From familiar faces to new ones, let's get back to what we've all been waiting for. We are ready as a band to create new memories with you all. Let's do this! Peace, love, light, and rock 'n' roll."
From Ashes to New's Matt Brandyberry weighed in about the tour, saying, "In 2001, we were literally 'The Youth of the Nation'\xa0and P.O.D.'s hit was an anthem to so many of us.\xa0Satellite\xa0was an\xa0album that helped shape a genre and will go down as one of the greatest records of that era. We are honored to join them on this U.S. tour to help celebrate 20 years of an absolute masterpiece."

Additionally, P.O.D. will drop the\xa0SATELLITE: 20TH\xa0ANNIVERSARY EDITION\xa0as a double-CD and digitally on September 3 for $24.98 through Rhino.\xa0It\xa0is available for pre-order\xa0now.\xa0Releasing\xa0a few days before the album's official anniversary on September 11, the 27-song collection introduces a newly remastered version of the original album, plus a selection of rarities, remixes, and four previously unreleased demos, including "Alive (Semi-Acoustic Version),"\xa0available\xa0today. A few weeks later, on October 8, SATELLITE: 20TH\xa0ANNIVERSARY EDITION\xa0will be released on vinyl as a double-LP as a part of Rhino's Rocktober campaign.\xa0

After debuting at #6 on the\xa0Billboard 200,\xa0SATELLITE\xa0went on to sell more than seven million copies worldwide, including three million in the U.S. The record generated four singles: the title track, "Alive,"\xa0"Youth of the Nation,"\xa0and "Boom."\xa0In addition to its commercial success,\xa0Satellite\xa0also earned P.O.D. three Grammy\xa0nominations for: "Alive"\xa0(Best Hard Rock Performance, 2002), "Portrait"\xa0(Best Metal Performance, 2003), and "Youth of the\xa0Nation"\xa0(Best Hard Rock Performance, 2003).\xa0
