November 20, 2017 Trixter Interview w/Mark Gus Scott – EP021
Trixter was a young band from New Jersey that exploded onto the hard rock scene in 1990 with the hits, "Give It To Me Good" and "One In A Million," just before the bottom gave out from Rock to grunge around '92. Charismatic drummer Mark Gus Scott has been there from the beginning to see it all happen. We jumped on the phone with Mark for a long and entertaining conversation. We talked about the early days of Trixter, and some of the killer tours they have been a part of, including Kiss, Scorpions, and the now infamous Blood, Sweat, & Beers tour with Warrant and Firehouse. Mark shared some stories and memories involving firearms, fireworks, and alcohol, along with a double-size helping of rock n roll. Mark's not just your average drummer pounding the skins with little or no musical inclination other than smashing the shit out of cymbals. While still a high school Trumpet player, Mark was awarded a special citation to attend the University of Hartford's Hartt School of Music over the summers and study music, which he puts to great use in the release of a new and traditional holiday EP called "Christmas Miracle." The first single is Mark's rendition of the classic "Ave Maria," and he will be giving 100% of the proceeds of the sale of the single to the worthy charity "Hope 4 Kids International" which focuses on serving children living in impoverished environments around the world. You can support the cause by picking up the EP for the holidays and sharing with friends and family.

November 13, 2017 Hero Albums To Zero Albums – EP020
Ever heard of the Sophomore Jinx? Sometimes a band can spend their entire career writing that absolute gem of a debut album, only to follow it up with a complete failure. Sometimes that so called sophomore jinx even happens in the middle of a band's career. Steve and Sonny get into a fun conversation about some bands they love, that produced a fantastic album, only to follow it up with a less than stellar offer. So in other words they went from a hero of an album to a complete Zero, by dropping an atomic stink bomb of a record. Agree to disagree with some of our fine selections? Let us know all about it.

November 09, 2017 Time Capsule V7 w/ Jody Havenot
Sonny and Steve go down the Punk Rock rabbit hole with fellow podcaster, co-host of Podcast Rock City and the re-launched Rock N Roll Radio Podcast Jody Havenot. We talk about Rock n Roll, Power Pop Punk, Chuck Berry, and what to do with all these Rock N Roll stickers I have laying around. We get into Jody’s earliest musical memories and how he started playing guitar, plus early 90s excess that almost got he and Traci Gun’s thrown out of a club before a gig. You won’t want to miss this, so download and enjoy, because after all it’s free damit.

November 06, 2017 Ballad To Bombastic – EP019
Some like a soft ballad, but I prefer the bombastic, Everyone that listens to the show knows Sonny likes his rock n roll, but he also love’s him some ballads. Steve on the other hand skips to the next song the second he hears a slow acoustic guitar ring out slowly through the speakers. Stevie boy likes to rock, and he does not want to slow dance to the latest Metallica song. This week we try to bridge the gap between the boys and give Steve and Sonny the best of both worlds. We talk and play songs that start out gently and woo you to a calm state before taking out that rolled newspaper and slapping you directly across your nose causing your eyes well up.
