Kamtin Mohager is undoubtedly one of the scene’s most prolific figures. As the musical brainchild behind The Chain Gang Of 1974 and Heavenward as well as the former bassist and co-lead vocalist of Teenage Wrist, Mohager has made a career out of staying as artistically and creatively diverse as possible.
In this episode, we talk to Mohager about his early days spent touring as the bassist for 3OH!3 (with whom he still performs with), and his remarkable stint with shoegaze darlings Teenage Wrist and the creation of their seminal record Chrome Neon Jesus. Now in June 2023, Mohager is set to release the debut album ‘Pyrophonics,’ from his latest project Heavenward, a grunge and 90s emo/space rock outfit that quite possibly will top your 2023 albums of the year list.
With iconic records under his belt and massive song placements including the Grand Theft Auto 5 soundtrack, as well as a budding graphic design career creating merch and artwork for some of your favorite bands, one can only pose the following question: Is Kamtin Mohager the scene’s true renaissance man?
