Our Music Director, Ben Slowey, is more than on top of the local music scene. In addition to his work for Breaking And Entering, he also hosts the Mr. Nice Guy podcast, an interview-based show that reaches out to Milwaukeeans for conversations about what motivates them. Many of these shows fittingly involve the local music scene, and we’ll be sharing some of them here as well.

Today, Ben talks to Cody Ratley of the shoegaze project Shamewave. His most recent EP “Heaven” dropped in February. They discussed Cody’s origins in the metal and hardcore scenes, his cat Norman, beginning Shamewave, the traumatic themes of “Heaven”, and new music he’s working on. You can check out more episodes of Mr. Nice Guy on YouTube, and check out this interview below:
