The Glass Walls Between Us With Jon Sinfield | Memorist

Every once in awhile, I get lucky enough to interview a force of nature where I'm doing all I can to hang on for the ride. That was my experience today as I spoke to Jon Sinfield of the UK upstarts Memorist. Jon has a lot to say, and give me wonderfully eloquent and thoughtful answers to my oddly phrased questions. It was a joy to hear his take on everything from family loss to the surprising catharsis of swimming in pools of fecal matter. We'll let you percolate on the image of that for a moment and give nothing away... but rest assured, this interview is a ton of fun and full of wonderful surprises. Jon is going to be a legendary frontman, this much is evident. This is my conversation with the singer and lyricist of Memorist, Jon Sinfield, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.
