Chris Ratzlaff is the frontman of two Facedown Records bands: nu-metal/metalcore band Fallstar and indie/alternative band Northlander. In this episode, we speak with Chris about the brand new Fallstar album "Sunbreather" and find out why he ditched 63 songs and set Fallstar aside for nearly 6 years before reviving the project in 2020.  We also hear about a close call with a train, bombing a hill in a wheelchair, and getting asked to do a cameo with Anberlin.
