Lou Mavs returns with Music Is Life Podcast after a long hiatus. This time around, he's with Deathwish's Eric "Bitty" Hammers to discuss the new album "The Fourth Horseman" (available now from Beer City Records), life on the road with DRI, his history with professional wrestling, funny stories from the road, and more. I'm back, and it's good to be home.
