Paul McCoy of 12 Stones is back — and he’s got a lot more to say than just “wake me up.”

In this episode of Mikey In The Pit, we talk about everything from surviving melanoma to ditching the 9-to-5 grind and getting back on stage. Paul opens up about sobriety, mental health, his love/hate relationship with the industry, and why this isn’t some cute little comeback story — it’s about purpose.

We also get into:

• Touring with Evanescence (and the weirdness)

• Getting mislabeled as a Christian band

• Screaming again after 24 years

• Playing Aftershock and getting thrown into the crowd

• What 12 Stones sounds like in 2025

• And the real reason he came back
