On this week's episode of Cleveland Scene Podcast No Sleep in the CLE, Chucklefck's Ramon Rivas and Cellar Door's Justin Markert talk to Max Stern, singer/guitarist from the band Signals Midwest. Max is a very busy guy, in 2014 alone he clocked over 140 shows on three continents in 13 countries. They talk about influence, how Cleveland's music scene holds up to other cities and our failed and/realized 2014 resolutions and plans for 2015.
