Caught up with Ben Burnley on the bus backstage at Northern Invasion. Let me just say he has the best water.

Parkway Drive's new album is out and it's one of my favorites of the year already. The record is called 'Reverence' and shows a bit of a departure from some other Parkway albums, but as Winston says, it's their heaviest yet. Always a pleasure to catch up with Winston.

PS. the band playing on the mainstage in the background at the end of the interview was Black Stone Cherry. :)

He's the screamer in I Prevail and truly one of the sweetest human beings on the planet. After all the success of 'Lifelines' What's next for I Prevail? Let's find out. We're backstage at Northern Invasion.

Matt and Mat from the band From Ashes to New, let the Crazy begin. Haha see what we did there? It's funny cause "Crazy" is the name of their new....you know what never mind, here's our talk.

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.

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.

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.
