Wolfgang Van Halen is the frontman, guitarist, drummer, bassist and songwriter for the band Mammoth. Yes he plays all the instruments on their albums, Mammoth III just came out. On stage though Wolfgang has a plethra of amazing musicians backing him up. 

Myles Kennedy is the lead singer of Alter Bridge who's new album AB is due out in January. He's also the lead singer for Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. When he's not busy with those projects he has is own solo band. 

Mammoth are on tour until mid December with Myles opening up the shows and I had the pleasure of joining them on a recent tour stop that ended with a conversation in Myles' dressing room with both of them.

Dripping rock and roll by way of Long Island, Des Rocs and his guitar are here to stay. If you missed my last conversation with Des we get into his history, this time we're digging into his sound and to what his musical idenity is. 

He has a new song called "This Land" which is the theme to the new Borderlands 4 Video Game, and that is launching a whole new album due out sometime next year.

It's been a hell of ride this past year for the band The Funeral Portrait. One of 2025's bands on the rise for sure. Lead singer Lee Jennings is back to revisit the past year as we look forward to what's on the horizon for this Atlanta based band. That includes a new live album due out in January!

Guitar great Mark Tremonti is back on the show this week to discuss all things Alter Brdige. Yes a little Creed and Tremonti talk as well, but we can't sleep on the fact that the band Alter Bridge just put out on the heaviest and most heavy metal things at rock radio in years. Their new album will be self-titled and it hits January 9th. I'll ask about new Creed music as well.

Mark's daughter Stella has become an inspiration for many and we'll get into some details about his fight to help Down Syndrome, and how important it is.

Adam DeGraide started a project with Dameon and Gabe from Aranda called ADAM Music Project, a music project where all the songs are based on video games and video game themes. Yes for this nerds need to unite! 

We also get an update on the band Aranda as Dameon and Adam join the Rockcast this week.

Not only is Matt Good the guitar player and really the one constant in the band From First to Last, but Matt is an extremely good record producer as well. Matt is a busy guy, he knows it, his band knows it, and his family surely knows it. We're happy that Matt takes a bit out his schedule to have a chat about new music from From First to Last, his production skills, why he still writes and jams rock tunes, and even why their orginal singer Sonny (Skrillex) has been in and out of the band. 

Check out the new song "Mirror Soul" featurin Kellin Quinn right now.

"Negative music for positive people," is how Joe Cotela describes the music for the band Ded. It's hard to argue with that, there is a positive message under all that aggression. Ded's third album is called Resent and it's availalbe now. Ded is on the road in the month of October with In This Moment, Dayseeker and The Funeral Portrait. Oh and Joe doesn't concert photography now. Yeah there's a lot to catch up with Joe Cotela, lead singer of the band Ded.

I'm not going to say no to hearing the words of Chris Daughtry, espicially when they are about great music. Earlier this year Daughtry released the EP Shock to the System (Part One) and now they have released Shock to the System (Part Two.) Another EP and the journey has already begun for another Daughtry song to get the absolute crap played out of it on North American rock radio with "The Bottom." But there's a special sound to this version of Daughtry that sees him hitting his 90s roots a little more than previous releases. Chris Daughtry is here to break it down this week on Cutter's Rockcast.

It can be distracting and maybe even a bit concerning when you hear a band you really like is losing one of it's singers. Luckily for I Prevail Eric Vanlerberghe has been there the whole time. Since the band's inception there have been two singers, one who holds down the clean vocals and Eric who handles the heavier and more intense parts. Now it's up to Eric and guitarist Dylan Bowman to handle all vocals and they do it better than I bet even they imagined. 

I Prevail's new album Violent Nature is now out and worth every possible minute you can spend with it. Maybe this conversation with Eric will help you understand why.

In 2014 the underground metal core band Of Mice & Men put out their first album with new singer and bassist Aaron Pauley, and the band never looked back. That album along spawning a couple top 20 rock songs. Since then Of Mice & Men have been a proper metal band, but don't think they don't have any surprises up their sleeves. Their latest single "Wake Up" has an acoustic guitar and Aaron tells us that they wanted Alanis Morissette to duet on the song, but her manager said no. 

Look for Of Mice & Men's new album Another Miracle due out November 14th.
