It’s that time again! A new year has begun which means FYA fest was here once again in Orlando, FL to kickstart 2026. From Exit Life to Hatebreed, and Sin Against Sin to Drain, we talk about all 38 bands that played both days of the festival that sets the tone for the rest of the year. We're joined by FYA founder Bob Wilson once again for some inside about putting the line up together and his thoughts on the weekend overall, so stay around a while, learn about some new bands, hear about some classics, and enjoy our recap of FYA 2026.
