Episode 14: Jason Hall of Western Addiction on mental health breakdowns & emotional intelligence

Summary: Host Jason Schreurs chats with another Jason, Jason Hall of Western Addiction. The singer of the San Francisco punk/hardcore band talked about how his collapse while jogging changed his life, the importance of focusing on mental wellness and the concept of emotional intelligence. We both agree that Todd Kowalski (Propagandhi), Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) and Ice Cube have the best vocal deliveries. https://westernaddiction.bandcamp.com Featured songs: Western Addiction - "Utter Despair" from Frail Bray (Fat Wreck Chords, 2020) Wolfbrigade - "Hammer to the Skull" (The Enemy: Reality, Southern Lord Records, 2019) Photo: Alan Snodgrass About this podcast: Scream Therapy explores the link between punk rock and mental health.
