Episode 111: Lance Curran of With Patience on losing a friend to suicide

Lance Curran of Chicago post-hardcore band With Patience joins host Jason Schreurs to talk about the survivor's guilt he felt after a friend of his committed suicide when they were 14. Growing up as a depressed teen, Lance always wondered how he was able to get through those years when others hadn't. He explains that getting into punk and playing in bands was the outlet he needed to process his grief. http://withpatiencechicago.bandcamp.com Featured song clips: With Patience -"Exit as Instructed" from Triptych (2025) Bad Religion - "Drastic Actions" from How Could Hell Be Any Worse?
