I sat down with Jake Taylor, vocals for Australian metalcore band In Hearts Wake - currently headlining a North American tour with Fit For A King, Like Moths to Flames, and Phineas. They made a stop at The Complex in Salt Lake City, Utah where I met up with Jake.

We covered some interesting ground here...everything from that time when Jake was 13 years old and saw his step-dad play a show with Henry Rollins and Black Flag (yeah, no joke), to using his platform for good (eco-cleanup initiatives), to what are the hardest things about being in a band in 2017.
