Zach Lemieux plays bass and does vocals in Shapethrower. 

In episode 044, Zach joins the show for our longest episode to date (it's also slightly out of focus, apologies). We dive into how attending our first concerts inspired the rest of our musical journey, the reality of playing empty routing shows leading to a massive festival, how we've made peace with negative comments, Zach's memories being the frontman for Vanities, Shapethrower's upcoming full length record, and so much more.
