The Word Alive is one of those bands that’s bound to keep growing and growing. This summer alone, they’ve been bumped up onto the main stage at Warped Tour on numerous occasions, but it’s only a matter of time before they become Warped headliners for the long run.

If you’re a fan of the band, you don’t need an explanation as to why they are one of the most energetic and incredible bands to watch perform live, and if all my forum involvement is correct, Telle Smith has become one of the hottest frontmen to photograph, purely based on his intensity.

Check below the jump to see UTG TV‘s exclusive interview with Telle Smith of The Word Alive, where we discuss being on Warped with his adorable French bulldog, taking stage with with Breathe Carolina and memorializing his friend Mitch Lucker on the new album.
