Hey guys,
Seeing to it this is the first blog we’re posting, we should probably tell you a little about our internship at Warner Brother Records. We intern for Xavier Ramos and Chris Trovero. Our roster includes: Avenged Sevenfold, Against Me!, Glassjaw, Head Automatica, Idiot Pilot, Mastodon, My Chemical Romance, Meg & Dia, Melee, MURS, Single File, Spinnerette, and The Used.

We’re not going to lie. Interning for a major label is a pretty sweet gig. We get to meet the artists we work with and hear new music before it’s released. Label VPs even take us out for lunch.
Now that the introduction is done with, we can tell you the low down of today. This morning, while I—Shilpa— was working on sending out some Avenged Sevenfold Front of the Line Pass’s, Emilio—another intern— came in and asked if I was stoked about Idiot Pilot coming to visit the label. I was DEFINITELY caught off guard. A lot of people don’t know much about Idiot Pilot, but I got a copy of their CD from Chris a while back and really liked their eerie sound (imagine if Alkaline Trio and Straylight Run made music together).
Michael and Daniel came in, had a meeting, and hung out. They ended up being hilarious, laid back guys, which wasn’t too surprising since they looked like cool guys in the ‘Retina and The Sky’ music video. We all had lunch together and talked about their upcoming winter tour. That was pretty sweet since it has not been announced yet. Later, we went down to the merch showcase room and they got styled out in a sick hoodie from Mute Math and a hoodie from Mastodon
Being an intern at WBR is seriously the most exciting job ever. No one ever really knows who is gonna come in or what happens behind these doors. The lifestyle is fast-paced and electrifying.
On the minutes where we do have downtime, we enjoy brushing up our Guitar Hero skills (you never know when Murs might drop by and challenge you to a quick go at "Carry on Wayward Son"). We also occasionally study Soulja Boy "Crank That" instructional videos via YouTube and perfect our moves in the middle of the office. When it's time for lunch we like to roll six deep in the company golf cart and joy ride the WB Backlot (just make sure your names are at the gate - WB security doesn't mess around). There's also Mongolian Grill, or more affectionately known as 'Delicious Bowl.' Sweet talk the owner and enjoy many a Delicious Refill. Take the Avenged Sevenfold (formerly HIM) Van and save yourself some gas.
Sincerely yours,
The Warner Bloggers (BRETT AND SHILPA)
P.S. Try the Josh Groban/Michael Buble cookies. They’re delicious.
