Cutter's RockCast

A new era has begun for Papa Roach, well like a third life kinda. With the release of last years 'Greatest Hits, Volume 2: The Better Noise Years' their contract ended with their longtime label home. Instead of re-upping they decided to do this on their own. There is also the always changing evolution of Papa Roach which we once again hear on their newly released song "Swerve" which features Jason Aalon Butler of Fever 333. As always there's a lot to cover as Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach is back on the Rockcast.

Dustin Kensrue is back! Dustin is the lead singer and guitarist for the band Thrice. Thrice just released not one, but two new songs and announced their new album 'Horizons East' due out digitally in September and physically in October. This will be Thrice's 11th studio album, plus this time around they did it all themselves in a studio they built during the pandemic.

Lilith Czar is the persona of the artist formerly known as Juliet Simms. She has found her voice in the world of her first love, hard rock music. After being in a band, to a contestant on The Voice, to being a pop singer, she's where she belongs. A fact that is proven on the new album 'Created From Filth and Dust.' As her song "Anarchy" rises up the rock radio charts we go into the past for the Lilith Czar origin story. Then we work our way to her future for the music and imagery that goes with it. On top of that, we'll see her on tour this fall and winter opening up for Evanescence and Halestorm.

This conversation took place in 2013 for my previous show Hangar 19 and my afternoon show on Razor Wisconsin. Rest in Peace Joey Jordison

Elias Soriano is of course the lead singer of Nonpoint. For our money one of the most underrated bands that exist in hard rock. You know, sort of like Sevendust. Nonpoint just returned to where they are their best, the live stage. On top of that, they put out a new song called "Ruthless" that has taken off quicker than any other Nonpoint song in history. The band also decided to go the independent route and have multiple EP's on the way with music videos to go with each and every song. Oh and there's a new guitar player. Yeah, we have a lot to catch up on with our old friend Elias of Nonpoint.

Amy Lee is the lead singer and songwriter for Evanescence, but you already know that. After it taking a decade for them to put out a new album, 'The Bitter Truth' is available everywhere. In the meantime, she became a mom, a movie composer, among other things. Now that the band is back though and touring is here, they are all about girl power. Evanescence is doing a co-headline tour with Halestorm this fall and winter. Plus the bands Plush and Lilith Czar will be opening. We have a lot to talk about as Amy joins us from her home studio.

The legendary Alice Cooper just released his 28th studio album 'Detroit Stories.' Yes, I said 28th studio album. The album was recorded back in his hometown of Detroit with almost exclusively Detroit musicians. The stories are in abundance in this conversation with one of the original rock stars.

With the release of Beartooth's 4th album 'Below' it's once again time to catch up with Caleb Shomo. Caleb is of course the lead singer/songwriter/producer and everything else for Beartooth.

Yes, the legendary Dee Snider of Twisted Sister. Dee actually joined me on my morning show that I do with Rick McNeal, live. Dee Snider isn’t just the voice of Twisted Sister and the guy with the most recognizable hair in rock history. He’s the host of the long-running radio show House of Hair, he’s been all over TV and even recently was on Celebrity Jeopardy, and is about to release his new solo album Leave a Scar. Produced by hard-core metal legend Jamey Jasta Leave a Scar will be out on July 30th.

A studio project created by three musicians who just wanted to write cool rock music for syncs. Syncs mean for video games, movies, TV, Sports or other types of entertainment. After a few years of toiling away in the studio they turned themselves into a real life rock and roll band. With a new album on the way this fall, a tour with P.O.D. happening this summer and a now top ten rock single with the song "For The Glory." All Good Things are poised to truly be the next big thing. So let's find out who the hell they are.
