E261 Lotta Ruutiainen of LUNA KILLS on Sci-Fi, Discovering Deftones, Panic Attacks, and Lana Del Rey Tattoos

This week, we're scratching The Itch for sci-fi! Lotta Ruutiainen of LUNA KILLS joins us to discuss her band's new album DEATHMATCH, including a song that came together through a writing practice she never wants to try again. We also discuss her love for all science fiction, the decision for a Finnish band to sing in English, her literal rock star tattoos, and the joy of discovering Deftones for the first time. Plus, The Itch dares to ask about a band name origin, and Aaron is reminded that he needs to see Blade Runner. (He now has.) Enjoy.
