VENTANA | Stitch & Daniel on Brotherhood, Hustle & Second Chances

Kevin Powell sits down with Richard “Stitch” Thomas and Daniel Fox of Ventana for a raw, hilarious, and honest conversation about brotherhood, burnout, and why they’re giving the band everything they’ve got in 2026. From their early 2000s beginnings to 2021’s The Nature of Betrayal, Ventana opens up about nearly walking away, rebuilding momentum after COVID, and finishing new music the right way this time.

We also dive into:
• The accidental rise of Ex-Faces and revisiting their era with Mushroomhead
• Touring with friends and why loyalty matters more than ever
• The old-school hustle vs. the TikTok generation • Industry burnout, staying motivated in your 40s, and not missing your moment
• VIP meet & greets, pizza parties, and keeping things personal with fans If you’re a fan of Cleveland metal, brotherhood on the road, and bands that refuse to quit — this one’s for you.
