Psychic Wafare is back, and it's now a part of the NOIZZE Podcast Network! What better way to officially celebrate the welcome into the Noizze family then with an absolutely amazing talk with Lee Jennings of Rock/Emo/Explosive Fireball band The Funeral Portrait, who now have 2 #1 rock hits and are playing some of the biggest festivals in the USA. The ever charismatic Lee and I chat about how human experiences are mostly universal, the life or death decision of choosing to live authentically, and the catharsis that comes with total belief in yourself, even if you don't know what else you do believe in. This one was a classic and big thank you to Lee for coming on and really opening himself up for all the fans listening.
