It’s hard to make it big in acting – and just as difficult to build a thriving music career – but
Emily Kinney has managed to become successful in both of these fields. Best known for her prominent role on the popular television series
The Walking Dead, she was a Broadway actress before that, appearing in
Spring Awakening (as well as other theater work). Concurrently, she’s worked as a singer-songwriter, releasing her critically acclaimed debut release,
Blue Toothbrush, in 2011. On April 9, she put out her third studio album,
The Supporting Character, on which she takes an introspective look at the complexities in her life. Calling from her Los Angeles home, Kinney explains how (and why) she juggles two demanding careers simultaneously.

They keep that trend rolling on album No. 20, In Another World, delivering oversized hooks, mischievous lyrics and seemingly unstoppable energy. Trademark anthems are countered by more introspective â but no less exuberant â considerations of times past, present and future on the LP. It fully showcases the band at its most eclectic, touching on a myriad of distinct sounds and song approaches, from the swampy Chicago blues number âFinal Daysâ to a timely rendition of John Lennonâ�
