Jensen Ward from Iron Lung, Innumerable Forms, Gehenna and much more

In this episode, we talk with Jensen Ward, guitarist/vocalist of the legendary powerviolence duo Iron Lung, about the band’s uncompromising path through the underground music world. Since forming in the early 2000s, Iron Lung has built a reputation for their blistering sound, minimalist lineup, and relentless work ethic—carving out a space where intensity and intention go hand in hand.Jensen dives into the origins of Iron Lung Records, and how the label has become more than just an outlet for his own projects—it’s a carefully curated home for experimental, heavy, and often unclassifiable music. We discuss what guides his choices as a label head, the importance of platforming artists that challenge norms, and how to balance curation with chaos. From global tours to warehouse shows, from brutal riffs to thoughtful releases, this conversation peels back the layers of one of punk’s most enduring and deliberate forces.Weekly Recommendation PlaylistSubscribe to the podcast on YouTubeRockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).
