Summary

In this episode, Jose Prieto of MakeWar opens up about the creation of their 2019 fan favorite single, “Oh, Brother.” He discusses how the song’s unorthodox structure results from the song just flowing out of him, inspired by a deep connection to both his younger self and his younger brother. Jose also sheds light on collaborating with Brett “The Rat” Romnes, the up-and-coming producer known for capturing the true essence of several bands that have been featured on the show in the past. Listeners will get an inside look at the personal and creative inspirations behind this poignant and impactful anthem.
