E257 Nathan Aurora of Aurorawave on Features, Fatherhood, and Breaking a Reggae Band Into the Rock World

This week, we're scratching The Itch for reggae metal! Nathan Aurora's band Aurorawave released one of our favorite albums of 2024, and he's putting the finishing touches on the exciting follow-up. Nathan joins us to talk about straddling the line between his reggae roots and his metal aspirations, his Crossed Heart Clothing company, his approach to guest features, and the time a baby was his biggest critic. Nathan is one of the most driven guests we've had, and one of the easiest conversations. Enjoy. And if you know a reggae keyboardist who can scream, send him Nathan's way.
