After decompressing in his home home of Michigan, Ben Schneider moved back to Los Angeles with a handful of recorded tracks. He and his sister handed out CDs and tapes at a music festival, someone wrote about it and before Ben knew it he was convincing his childhood bandmates to move to California to pursue music together again. Lord Huron was born.

Lord Huron—comprised of Ben Schneider (guitar, vocals), Mark Barry (percussion), Miguel Briseno (bass), Tom Renaud (guitar) and Brett Farkas (guitar)—have two albums under their belt now. Their sophomore full-length release, Strange Trails, was recorded in an old abandoned studio that Ben and the band fixed up. There they listened to early rock 'n' roll music by Bo Diddley, Elvis and Buddy Holly which in turn influenced the album's sound and Ben's approach to songwriting.

"Generally I start with something that's either about me or someone close to me and kind of let it spin off into fiction," says Schneider. "There's a straighter line to the truth through fiction sometimes and I've found that to be useful in writing."

Listen to the full interview to hear host Bill DeVille chat with Ben about the comic book that's included with Strange Trails, what famous NASCAR driver is a fan of Lord Huron and what it's like performing in the First Avenue mainroom.
