Episode 86: Jake Stein of WRNG HAUS

This week's guest is Jake Stein of the band WRNG HAUS from Portland, Oregon. He describes his music as sort of "groovy & catchy pop propelled by a rhythm section tight as synchronized swimmers." And from listening to his stuff I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Jake’s song “That Kind of Life” is featured on this episode. So if you like it definitely go check it out on Spotify or where you prefer to listen to music.

Today's guest is Ray Harkins of the 100 words or less podcast. I’ve been a fan of his show for a little while now and figured I’d see if I could get him on here for a little collaborative type of episode. His show focuses on mostly metal and hardcore musicians around the world. So if you are looking for a new podcast to add to your music rotation definitely check it out. By the sound of it Ray’s been running his podcast for the about last 9 years and is about 400 episodes deep now. He also has a band called “Taken” which has a new EP out called “Without Regard To.” The album delves into his wife’s battle with cancer, which thankfully she is now in remission from. I featured his song “Regret" on this episode.
