Kaytie and I spoke with A Dead Desire's Moroni Silva about how the band formed, recovering from addiction, and his newly released cover of the Eurythmics’ “Here Comes the Rain Again" featuring late All That Remains guitarist Oli Herbert. It turns out that Moroni and Oli came up with the idea of covering the Eurythmics' song while having a few drinks one night. They recorded a small part of the song on Moroni's phone before eventually covering the track.

It's here! The highly anticipated 2nd full length album from I Prevail 'Trauma' is available now. Dylan and Eric from I Prevail joined me to dive into this record a bit. The picture for this episode of the Rockcast is me talking to the band in the studio while wearing a Unicorn shiting shooting star rainbows shirt. They appreciated that.

This is a conversation that Kaytie and I have been having since we started having conversations. Women rock, plain and simple. There is no difference between a male band and a female band and the idea that it's separate needs to go away. So you know girl power and stuff. We are all even, we are all one and on this episode of the Rockcast we turn our attention to the L.A. based Diamante and her debut album 'Coming in Hot.'

Before Shinedown played a sold out show in Green Bay, WI Kaytie and I sat down in the warm up room backstage with drummer Barry Kerch. We caught up about family and how his is from the area, about playing a venue that's been standing for over 50 years and is about to be torn down. We talked about the transition period between the original Shinedown line up and the one that has now stood the test of time. Of course a lot of music talk as well. Listen when I say the 4 members of Shinedown are some of the sweetest and nicest human beings on the planet, I mean it.

Where do I begin with Jacoby Shaddix? I first meet the Papa Roach lead singer probably around 2002 and I think it was at a bar. Since then it's hugs and catch ups everytime we see each other. Now instead of it being over some sort of bottle it's with microphones in hand, stories of our kids and loved ones, and talk of music. He's been sober for 7 years and is better than ever. Catching up with an old friend outside of the arena where I saw my first concert makes this conversation a special one.

I just got back from spending 8 days in Vegas, Kaytie just got back from spending 2 days in Vegas that was supposed to be 3 than only 1 and then...just listen to the story. Also huge thanks to the Contraband Company and CO5 for putting on the #happens conference. We had an incredible time.

After all the lead up, a number one song, and another top 15 song that's rising Badflower's debut full length album is here. OK, I'm sick is the long awaited doubt album by Badflower and it features a couple songs you already know like "Ghost" & "Heroin." We caught up them in Las Vegas before heading back to L.A. for a hometown album release show.

Long Beach, CA band Rival Sons just released their 6th album 'Feral Roots' and their first single from it "Do Your Worst" is now a top ten rock song. Catching up while in tour in Europe, lead singer Jay Buchanan gets on the phone with myself and Kaytie. We talk the new album, we talk touring with Black Sabbath, border delays, and new merch lines.

The title says it all. Needless to say we and many of us in the rock community were not happy after the 2019 Grammy Awards.

Maroon 5, rappers, Atlanta, all things represented during the halftime show at this year's big game in Atlanta between New England and LA. Was it good? Was it bad? Why can't Adam Levine afford better tattoos?
