On episode 194 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Dead Fish Handshake!

Comprised of Matthew Paul (vocals), Rob Ferreira (guitars), Vito Rauseo (guitars), Ant Salcedo (bass), and Mark Birkelbach (drums), Dead Fish Handshake is a rock band out of the Northeast in the United States.

After coming onto the scene with their debut entitled Across State Lines in 2011, Dead Fish Handshake teamed up with Clint Lowery (Sevendust, Dark New Day) to produce their 2013 EP The Sixes. Following the release of their 2020 album Lies...and All That Jazz, Dead Fish Handshake went on a hiatus.

Having gone through lineup changes and their own life events, Dead Fish Handshake is back together for their first release in five years. On November 7th, the band dropped their brand new single entitled "Traveling at the Speed of Life." The single is the first from Dead Fish Handshake's forthcoming LP Safe in the Harms of Love, which is due out in 2026.

On this episode, Matthew, Rob, and Vito of Dead Fish Handshake stop by the pod to talk with Mike about how their individual love for music started, the formation of Dead Fish Handshake, working with Clint Lowery, the development of their sound, their hiatus after the release of Lies...and All That Jazz back in 2020, reconciling and making new music together, the importance of men's mental health, and more.

This episode of the pod also features the aforementioned "Traveling at the Speed of Life" from Dead Fish Handshake, available where you get your music!
