Dive into the stories behind two songs from The Hara’s new album, The Fallout! The band reveals that the fan-favorite “Psycho Killer” was inspired by a simple, eerie synth and riff. They explain that the “dark and twisted” lyrics are a personification of the “darkness and the shit that goes on in our brains”—a very deep take on mental health. They then discuss their successful single “Violence,” detailing the concept of a toxic, two-way relationship and how their label helped them feature the perfect guest vocalist, Beth from As December Falls.

Don’t miss The Fallout out on January 23rd! Buy the album or some exclusive merch at TheHaraBand.com.

“I shot my wife and her mom and her stepdad. Cold-blooded murder this afternoon. Each twice in the head. Even the detective doesn't know what to do with that! He just up and gave it up right there!”

THE YEAR-END CHAOS: The final show of 2025 is an absolute train wreck of gruesome true crime and rock history! We start with the insane story of how Queen rejected Sylvester Stallone, leading to the creation of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” But then things get DARK. Neeley breaks down the most bone-chilling interrogation ever where a guy nicknamed “Uncle Jesse” confesses to a triple homicide in under 90 seconds. Plus, a horrific Michigan “womb-raider” murder case that will make you lose your goddamn lunch.

Is Nikki Sixx a creative genius or just the world’s most expensive fishing guide? He’s promising a “next-level” revolution for the 2026 tour, but the mainstream media is too afraid to ask the real question: How can you deliver “Shock and Awe” when your frontman is recovering from strokes and your bassist is more worried about his Jackson, Wyoming fishing schedule than the fans? The industry wants you to buy the hype, but Alex and Alicia Iverson are ripping the mask off this “Carnival of Sins” to show you the corporate cash grab underneath. Is this a creative revolution, or just a safe, lazy nostalgia trip for a band that’s lost its edge? Hit play and find out why the “New Tech” might just be a total fraud.

The boys are in rare form today. We’re tearing apart the “inclusive” posturing of Paramore , watching a drunk marketing manager ruin her life in 4K , and mourning (sort of) a plastic surgery influencer who took a 9-story dive. Plus, David Coverdale is actually doing retirement the right way.

I sat down with the one and only Matt Bissonette. If you’ve listened to a radio in 40 years, you’ve heard this man’s bass lines. We’re talking about the high-wire act of playing for “difficult” geniuses like David Lee Roth and Elton John, and why the internet is a cesspool of losers when it comes to legends like Steve Vai.

Matt’s back with The Squirts 3, and we break down why having zero expectations makes for the best goddamn music.

Buckle up, because the boys are shredding Dave Mustaine a new one. We wanted to like the new Megadeth, but “Let There Be Shred” is making it impossible. Between that, Dave Evans’ delusional tour, and the fact that rock concerts are dying, we’ve got plenty to scream about.

Chris is fired up today, man! Imagine trying to get your sports talk fix and your TV basically tells you to screw off. Audacy has officially pulled their app from Roku, and they didn’t say a damn word to anyone about why. Chris dives into whether this is a licensing shakedown or just corporate greed ruining everything for the listeners.

What’s your favorite John Bush-era Anthrax track? Let’s hear it!

“He was not good enough to play, but he... became the drug dealer for the football team. And he did.”

Listen, I just watched “Cocaine Quarterback” on Amazon Prime and my brain is melted. This dude Owen Hanson was a “regular nobody” who walked onto Pete Carroll’s USC team just to get girls and party, then realized he was better at selling gear than playing ball.

He goes from the sidelines of national championships to smuggling drugs into Australia and dealing with the Mexican Cartel. It gets even crazier when he tries to launder the money through a “charity” gambler who blows $2.5 Million of the cartel’s cash at the casinos. This is pure chaos.

Is this the biggest sports scandal ever or what? Let me know in the comments!

“I shot my wife and her mom and her stepdad. Cold-blooded murder this afternoon. Each twice in the head.”

We are closing out the year with a total mental health check on the industry. We’ve got Dave Mustaine writing lyrics that sound like a head injury , Hayley Williams trying to police her audience while Chris kicks her out of Cleveland , and the most insane 90-second murder confession you will ever witness.
