This week, we're scratching The Itch for local boys to make good! Jason Kozik of St. Louis' own dead7 joins us on the eve of their debut release with SharpTone Records, Love What You Can While You Got Something Left To Love. The album, full of riffs, ambiance, and not entirely traditional arrangements (plus a dash of heavy pop punk), drops July 11th, and we share Jason's excitement for you to hear it. In this episode, we talk fine tuning a band name, working with The Funeral Portrait and Gore., and balancing a career as an elementary school teacher while also making time to rock out. Plus, "AI art" is still not a thing, and The Itch receives a delicious idea on how to turn a profit at the next Pointfest. Enjoy.
