I am extremely excited to have my friend, Tom Schlatter on the podcast today. He emailed me close to 20 years ago, and since then we have stayed in and out of touch but his bands You & I, The Assistant, This Ship Will Sink and more recently, Hundreds of AU and Every Scar Has A Story have been very important to my life. We discuss his life in bands, eclectic music tastes and of course "screamo." Dip in and enjoy!Visit Rockabilia and use the code PC100WORDS for 15% off of your order.

I know it may seem like I said this a lot, but this episode is a huge one for me. Brian McTernan is the vocalist from Battery, guitarist from Ashes and more recently, Be Well and his art has definitely impacted me in a deep way. He's also an incredibly prolific producer as well helping bands like Texas Is The Reason, Bane, Thrice and many more create some of their most important records. We go LONG with so many things like depression, touring Europe and being the "it" producer and the pressure that comes with it. This conversation went so incredibly well and I am proud to share it with you. Listen and enjoy!
