Aim High talk DIY ethic and fast rise in Riot Fest 2026 video interview

The band sat down with Chorus.fm at the festival to discuss songwriting, staying independent and playing one of the country's biggest alternative events.

Published on · Reported from Chorus.fm

Aim High gave a video interview at Riot Fest 2026, speaking with Jackie Cular for Chorus.fm. The conversation covered the band's take on local scene pop-punk, their DIY work ethic and the story behind how quickly their name has grown within the scene.

During the interview, the group breaks down how they approach songwriting and how they have been navigating the modern music industry on their own terms, keeping the independent framework that got them this far. They also talk about what it means to play one of the biggest alternative festivals in the country.

Riot Fest remains one of the key showcases for rising acts across the punk, pop-punk and emo circuit, putting established names and newer artists on the same bill. For Aim High, the festival slot lands as a milestone in a run the band says was built without shortcuts.

The full conversation is available in video form at Chorus.fm, which funds this kind of coverage through its membership program.
