Over the past three decades Butch Walker has lived the ups and downs of the music industry. In the early '90s his glam metal band Southgang were signed to a major label, only for changing musical trends and record label politics to put an end to their career; it all happened again a decade later with his band the Marvelous 3. Despite these setbacks Butch has built a career as an acclaimed solo artist and a songwriter and producer whose credits include P!nk, Taylor Swift, Green Day, Weezer and many, many more. We talk about all this, as well as his latest solo album, American Love Story.
