Nichols: "'Man In The Box' is one of my favourite songs ever. I remember this being one of the first songs I really connected to as a child. Between the bluesy vocals and slinky guitar riff, all the way down to the sludgy overtones, it’s timeless and pure perfection. I started jamming this one at my shows because it is so much fun to play, the audience response was instant.”

"'Man In The Box' was originally recorded just for fun at Sweetwater Studios. It turned out so well, we knew we had to share it with the world." 

The Haunted guitarist Ola Englund has shared the latest episode of Coffee With Ola, featuring guitarist Jared James Nichols. They discuss Nichols' pick-less approach to the guitar, fingerstyle technique, guitars and more.

Rocking a set of monster real-deal Double White PAFS - crazy black over gold finish by Riggio Guitars showing plenty of flame.

This is nuts and my jaw is on the floor with how badass this one is. I am in tone heaven! Massive thank you to my brother John Ladas for putting this one in my hands…more to come!"
