SUMMARY:P.O.D
LOCATION:The Gov - The Venue
DESCRIPTION:They’ve been a band — and a vital one at that — for more 
 than 30 years. But ask rock icons P.O.D. what still inspires them after al
 l this time\, and they’ll tell you they still operate as if they’re pe
 rpetual underdogs. Yes\, with every new album they release\, with every sh
 ow they play\, these musical lifers still feel they have something to prov
 e. “We’re still here and we’re still creating some of the best music
  we’ve ever made\,” says guitarist Marcos Curiel. “When it comes to 
 heart\, grit and soul\, P.O.D. is your band.” Adds vocalist Sonny Sandov
 al: “We’re always still proving who we are — always having that punk
 -rock mentality.” It’s this mindset\, this unrelenting grit that has l
 ong defined the platinum-selling P.O.D. and continues to do so as they mar
 ch proudly into the next era of their long-winding journey of a career. No
 w\, nearly five years removed from their previous studio album\, Circles 
 \, which to date has been streamed more than 50 million times and spawned 
 the Top 25 hit “Listening to Silence\,” the band returns in a major wa
 y with Veritas \, the eleventh P.O.D. LP and arguably their hardest-hittin
 g record yet. Lovers of all forms of music\, P.O.D. have forever incorpora
 ted everything from rock to reggae\, hip-hop to punk in their art. “We f
 lirt with so many different styles\,” offers Curiel.This go-round\, howe
 ver\, P.O.D. decided to get back to the basics. “We made a conscious dec
 ision to keep it in the rock zone this time\,” says Sandoval adding that
  there’s “a certain bounce and a certain two-step” to the 11 tracks 
 that comprise the album. “These songs are a throwback to me and remind m
 e of the raw unbridled energy of classic South San Diego P.O.D.\,” offer
 s bassist Traa Daniels. “We’re always going to be that raw energetic b
 and no matter how old we are\,” adds Curiel. “We decided\, ‘Let’s 
 just do us and just write something that’s heavy and something that rock
 s.’ It’s another painting at another point in our lives that we want t
 o showcase and hang up on the wall for people to experience. We’re alway
 s going to be P.O.D.. We’re never trying to be anybody else. We felt lik
 e we had a lot of angst and a lot of energy that we needed to put forth an
 d let people know: “We’re a band to still be reckoned with!”” Writ
 ten over the course of several years\, with the band typically writing a t
 une or two at a time in L.A. with The Heavy\, Veritas is a cannon-shot of 
 adrenaline to the ear drums. And for a band that has never shied away from
  wearing their heart on their sleeve\, it’s also one of the most emotion
 ally inspired albums of the band’s career. “I don’t think we’d be 
 able to live with ourselves if we were just copying everybody else and fol
 lowing the memo of Rock n’ Roll 101\,” says Sandoval. “We operate wi
 th no regrets. That’s because we’ve always been into the rebels and th
 e punkers and the hardcore guys that said. “We’re going to do it our w
 ay and we have something to say.”” The word Veritas — which translat
 es to ’Truth’ in Latin — defined the emotional core of the album\, a
 nd the album art further encapsulates that message: to Curiel\, the Verita
 s album cover\, which pictures a child with its eyes blacked out\, signifi
 es “ a culmination of innnocence & dark hidden truths. The innocence of 
 a child\, yet empty\,” he says. “On the constant search for a spark to
  fire up the soul.”\n\nBoletos: https://tickets.oztix.com.au/outlet/even
