Cutter's RockCast

We are talking to bands and having fun during the World's Loudest Month, this week at Northern Invasion in Somerset, WI. Now time to hang out with my friend Henry Flury, guitarist from the Butcher Babies.

We are talking to bands and having fun during the World's Loudest Month, this week at Northern Invasion in Somerset, WI. First up Black Stone Cherry

Here's something you may not know. Radio and music is actual work, hard work, and there's a lot of it. Ahead of heading out to Northern Invasion and Rock on the Range two of the World's Loudest Month Festivals, we always get this comment, "Oh my god I wish I had your job, you get paid to just see concerts and hang out with bands." If you believe that, then we have down our jobs. There is a lot of work that goes into it though and way more than most people would expect. Welcome to Rockcast 72 - Work Bitch. (Never thought I'd get a Britney Spears reference in on the rockcast.)

One of my favorite things to watch are documentary's based on rock history. Turns out Kaytie loves that to. We have some favorites and plenty of magazines and websites have put together lists for the best rock docs of all times. All this on the heals of a new one called 'Long Live Rock' all about the rock and roll / heavy metal concert scene being announced. They need your help though and have started a pledge music page. Rockcast 71 all about the rock doc.

Long Live Rock, pledge music page: https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/longliverock

Another music award show means another pissed off Kaytie. The question then was spawned after the nominations for the Billboard music awards were announced, what is rock music? Or what do you consider to be rock music? Or even then, what is the actual definition of rock music? Do we answer any of these questions? No, but a discussion was born with a tad bit different look at the argument. At the end of the day like Rodney Dangerfield used to say "No respect, no respect."

I first met Jeff Gutt in 2002 as the lead singer of the band Dry Cell. Now in 2018 after a trip into TV on The X-Factor plus a few different music projects, Jeff is the lead singer of one of the world's most popular rock bands Stone Temple Pilots. It's about time we catch up again. The new STP is just simply called 'Stone Temple Pilots (2018)' and is available now. STP will be out a tri-headlining tour this summer with Bush and The Cult.

With Ghost being the talk of the town right now, a band led by one person who's artistic vision created the music, the band and the imagery, Kaytie and I thought we'd take a look at some of the masterminds of rock. How does one take control of everything? Introverts VS. extroverts. Are solo artists actual masterminds? Welcome our brains in Rockcast 68.

This a quick conversation with one of my favorites, fan wise, in rock. Zach Blair is the guitarist for legendary Chicago based punk rock band Rise Against. Zach though is from Texas and was also Flattus Maximus in GWAR before joining Rise Against in 2007. Rise Against's new album is called 'Wolves' and you can catch them on the "Mourning in Amerika" tour with AFI and Anti-Flag this summer.

We started talking about the rebirth of Vinyl and the excitement in the growth of physical album sales because of vinyl. We're not really sure where we went from there.

Dorothy Martin is the lead singer and namesake of the LA based rock and roll band Dorothy. Their new album is called '28 Days In the Valley' and features the single "Flawless." She opens up about why she got back into music after her father passed away, working her manager and producer Linda Perry, and digs down about the more stripped down sound of her second record, all while sipping on some coffee in a Los Angeles cafe.
