  • EP 509 - ATBPO
    We're baaaaaack.
    I know what you’re thinking, what the f*#k does ATBPO mean. If you’re familiar with the new Night Ranger release you know it means “And The Band Played On” an apt title for an album made during these Covid encrusted times.
    This week guitarist Brad Gillis rejoins us to talk about the making of this release and what else is going on with the band.The road case cover art is definitely ironic in these times as tours are simply not happening.
    If ya wanna skip right to Brad he's on at around the 30 minute mark.

  • EP 508 - Prisoners In Paradise
    Before we go off on our annual summer break we thought we’d blast out one more 30th anniversary throwback episode.
    On Sept 23rd 1991 Europe released their fifth studio album “Prisoners In Paradise”. After getting chart positions in the US for the prior two releases this one fell on deaf ears in the states.
    It did do well in Europe and Japan and spawned three singles including the title track.
    This week we will get the many stories behind this album as we talk with guitarist Kee Marcello. Kee would exit the band following this one but he’s still a wealth of information.
    And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

    This one has been sitting in our vaults for almost three years and it’s way overdue to see the light of day.
