Time for another Stomping Grounds, folks! This time we’re exploring the home of Prisoners, garage rock heroes from Cleveland, Ohio.

True to Cleveland’s blue-collar roots, Prisoners rock out with all the garage energy of teenage glory: noises crashing and colliding in mid-air in that chaotic, don’t-give-a-fuck kind of way that always sounds so good. We got a chance to ask Jason Look, guitarist and vocalist, a bit about what it’s like to live in the rock ‘n’ roll capital of the world. Read on to find out where to get the best burrito, and why Jason has a shirt that used to belong to Will Rigby.
