Since it’s release the band’s visibility has grown exponentially, and with that the band has continued to turn out excellent heavy metal album after at excellent heavy metal album.

Their 18th studio album, Legal at Last, is out on February 14, 2020 from AFM Records.

With that Lips joined us for an inclusive interview covering a wide variety of the thoughts foremost on Lips mind, such as:

How the band’s advocacy for hemp is much more than people presume
His frustration with people who accept what they’re told instead of taking the time to form their own opinion
How the animation on the Nabbed in Nebraska video came together
The meaning of the song I’m Alive and how the band is still kicking ass
The lack of money in the music industry
Why other documentary’s don’t have the same impact that Anvil’s did
His thoughts of a couple of key scenes from the film
Some incredible stories you must hear as only Steve “Lips” Kudlow can tell them
How he’s a proud Canadian

This is only a small sample of what we cover. It’s a long conversation because it’s incredible, as Lips is an incredibly thoughtful and candid interview.Don’t listen to it for us, listen to it for yourself. You deserve it. Life has changed a lot for Anvil since the movie came out. But son’t worry, Lips and Robb will always stay the same, and we’re eternally grateful for that.
