About this episode
Ethan Rader and Lukas Skucas of the band Griefeater discuss their debut album 'Worn' and the creative process behind it.
Griefeater is a “blackened alternative-emo” band from Chicago. The Chicago Reader named their debut album ‘Worn‘ as one of the Best Albums of 2025. With guitar heavy riffs and picturesque lyrics, Griefeater paints an image of Chicago that lives in your imagination. Ethan Rader and Lukas Skucas share with host Peter Kreten how the band wrote their critically acclaimed album ‘Worn’, how Zines and other physical media are a great way to experience art, and how a liquor store clerk inspired their song 'Evelyn'.
