Will Haven guitarist Jeff Irwin is stepping into a new musical chapter with FOREIGN FILM — but he’s definitely not doing it alone.
In this interview, Jeff Irwin talks about the creation of Foreign Film, what inspired him to start a new band outside of Will Haven, and why this project gives him an opportunity to explore a different side of his musical identity. He also opens up about the reaction from his longtime Will Haven bandmates — and why their friendship and support mean more to him now than ever before.
We dive into the story behind Foreign Film, Jeff’s songwriting and creative process, balancing a new project with Will Haven, the evolution of his career in heavy music, and what fans can expect from Foreign Film moving forward.
For longtime Will Haven fans, this is also a fascinating look at Jeff Irwin beyond the riffs — the friendships, creative relationships and decades of history that have helped make Will Haven one of the most distinctive and influential bands to emerge from the Sacramento heavy music, hardcore, noise metal and alternative metal scene.
If you're a fan of Will Haven, Jeff Irwin, Foreign Film, alternative metal, post-hardcore, noise rock, hardcore, sludge metal, Sacramento metal, underground metal, heavy music interviews, new rock bands or discovering new music, this conversation is for you.
