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?

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.
