Today's guest on the podcast is Rebecca Vernon of The Keening!

The Keening is Rebecca's Portland-based solo music project, who led SLC doom metal band SubRosa for 13 years.

She released her debut album 'Little Bird' in 2023, which is an album I can't recommend enough and is currently working on her second album, which we will chat about in this episode.

The primary focus of this episode though is The Keening's latest single, 'Hell is a Mirror', which was released in June and is a song that goes out to the perpetrators and enablers of the Gaza genocide. A deeply emotional and powerful song, I'll be talking with Rebecca about firstly why she wrote the song, how the song was made and then the Gaza genocide and the responses she's received from using her voice to talk about the injustices going on there.

The song is available on Bandcamp and 100% of all proceeds from the sales for this song (minus PayPal fees) will be donated to Gaza Mutual Aid Solidarity (GMAS).

I can say it enough how much of an influence Rebecca's music has had on myself, still in disbelief I got to interview her so it was an enormous pleasure to chat to her, especially for a cause like this.
