Cutter's RockCast

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?

Ever wonder what the hell Active Rock or Top 40, or even easy listening means? Let us help you understand why each different type of radio station plays what they play and why it's defined as their particular format.

You may or may not know Mark Morton as the guitarist of the metal band Lamb of God, but I'm a huge fan. Mark has decided to expand his song writing chops and put out a solo album called 'Anesthetic' due out March 1st. The album features a lot of rock dream collaborations including the song "Cross Off" featuring deceased Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. Kaytie and I caught up with Mark to tell us about this amazing song and album.

Today (Jan. 18th) is release day for Papa Roach! Their tenth studio album is called 'Who Do You Trust?' and looks to be like another great record from a staple of rock. Jerry Horton joins me quick to talk about the new record and help celebrate today's release.

Why is it that we as rock fans hate everything? We hate bands when the become popular, we hate it when bands charge money for things...anything. It's time for Kaytie and I to vent and get a few things off our chest. This conversation is def not safe for work, unless you are wearing headphones, or work at a place where adult language is accepted. You know like that tire shop I go to where the mechanic still smokes in the waiting room.

Kicking off the new year chill and relaxed. Catch up on NYE and holiday fun and take a look back at our best and worst rock and roll moments of 2018. Then the wheels come off and anger happens to set up what we're going to do next week.

The Black Moods have actually been around for a number of years and even have two full length albums out, but until recently they have gone relatively unnoticed to the mainstream rock crowd. That has begun to change now that their new single "Bella Donna" is being played on various rock radio stations around the country and the road has called. This is a band to watch for 2019 and on this New Years Eve weekend I was able to hang out with them and get a great introduction in their home town of Phoenix, AZ.

Corbin Reiff has written for Rolling Stone Magazine, Spin, Uproxx, Billboard, Consequence of Sound and tons more. He was announced plans to write a biography about Chris Cornell set for 2020 release. We sat down to talk to him about that book, Chris Cornell and more. His first book, LIGHTERS IN THE SKY: The All-Time Greatest Concerts, 1960-2016 is out now.

Indio Downey and Ralph Alexander of the 2 peice rock band from Malibu, CA The Dose stopped by the studio. We chatted for a bit and then yes they brought some guitars. Enjoy an introduction to the band The Dose.
