About this episode

The episode features an interview with Chris Kelly of Hillhaven discussing the band's success and inspirations.

On this week's episode, we're joined by Chris Kelly of hard rock/metalcore band Hillhaven! Chris is a former fill in guitarist of Ice Nine Kills and is doing some incredible things with this new venture. We had an absolute blast chatting with Chris! We talked about the band's somewhat rapid success, what it was like hearing Hillhaven on SiriusXM Octane, the stories and inspiration behind some of their songs, what the future has in store for the band, and, of course, went off on a few fun tangents along the way. This was one of those conversations that didn't end when we hit stop... we kept talking long after the recording was over! Keeping that in mind we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.
