Fallstar - Chris "Cream" Ratzlaff - Ian's Untitled Scene Show

October 1, 2023

Welcome to a brand new episode of Ian’s Untitled Scene Show! In this episode, I feature someone I’ve wanted to speak with for a long time, Chris “Cream” Ratzlaff, vocalist for Fallstar!

Chris is always a busy man, as he has a family with three children, not to mention fronting the unique and genre-bending metalcore band Fallstar AND being a part of two other bands, Northlander and Cobra Cobra! We focus our talk mostly on Fallstar (but make sure to check out his other projects, too), their crowdfunding ideas, the new album ‘Sacred Mirrors,’ and so much more!

I don’t want to give away everything here; trust that you will enjoy this conversation…(Donnie Darko is all I’ll say right now…)

Check out the exclusive conversation below, including iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and more:

Convictions - Mike Felker - Ian's Untitled Scene Show

May 3, 2021

Welcome to a brand new episode of Ian’s Untitled Scene Show! In this episode, I have returning friend of the show, Mike Felker, vocalist for Convictions!

A lot has happened since I last spoke with Mike. There’s a new Mortal Kombat movie, the venue I saw Convictions in live last closed (non-covid related), they are now an independent band, and their new EP, ‘I Won’t Survive,’ COMES OUT THIS FRIDAY! Mike talks about what he’s been up to recently, being an independent band, and we talk in-depth about the new EP! It’s another fun conversation with Mike that also covers some important topics. Make sure you listen in.

Note - I recorded this when I apparently was about to get sick, and my pop-filter broke, so you’ll hear some more plosives than you’d normally hear on the shows. Hey, nothing is perfect. Also, you can read an advanced review of the EP here: REVIEW
