Season 1, Episode 3 - From their formation in 1985 until they disbanded in 1994, Jeff Braimes was the vocalist of Panic, a Seattle-based thrash metal band. He’s retired from metal now, but he stopped by the studio to tell me about how he got into it, and offered his perspective on what it was like to be in a metal band in Seattle when the whole Grunge thing happened. Enjoy!
