An Interview with James Lewis and Will Sweet of Ithaca

Matt Fraser meets James Lewis (Drums) and Will Sweet (Guitar) of Ithaca before their set at the Damnation Festival 2022.

Ithaca formed in late 2012, when guitarist Sam Chetan-Welsh wrote on a message board that he was starting a hardcore group inspired by American punks the Chariot and looking for a vocalist. With their latest album “They Fear Us” out since July 29th 2022 via Hassle, the quintet has quite shaken up the metalcore scene.
