Keeping it 99

Back with a new episode. Pizza parties, Eminem, Tool, Killswitch, Meshuggah, our mental health, all that stuff. We also talk about the baddest new band to come out of NE Ohio, RADIAN!

Music blogger and musician Jason Luchka (DeathCrawl, Supercorrupter) joins us to tell us the history of legendary Northeast Radio station 88.9 V-Rock. He was a DJ and program director in the early stages of the station's transition into being all metal. He has some great stories, and it was a real good and informative time about a piece of NE Ohio metal history. We also chat about his current bands DeathCrawl and Supercorrupter, and yep we play some of their music on this one too! 

This week we talk about the Machine Head singer and his wild antics, FLAW stealing music, a Christmas Party you need to go to, and we play music from Cleveland bands Fermentation and Half Raised Heathens. 

We hang out with Brandyn, Pat, and Ang from the Kent band In Malum, and we discuss everything from shows to their roots to friendships to cult leaders. They have a New EP dropping on October 12 called Descent Into Madness, and it's a banger. We also play Flashbacks Of Violence off of the EP.  

This week we talk about the upcoming Speedbump Fest, the bands playing it, and where they got their band names from. Speedbump Fest is put together by Last Letter Project, supporting mental health and addiction, in honor of Garrett Janos. It's a great cause with some great bands, and we were honored to do a podcast covering it. 

Today, we talk with Larry Gargus (Persistent Aggressor,Don Austin) about his roots in the music scene, his current band Persistent Aggressor, and a wide array of topics like KISS, spinning records, early punk rock, and everything in between. It's a great time with a lot of laughs and tears. 
Also music from Don Austin and Persistent Aggressor

On this episode, We talk about meeting Keeping it 99 legends Wallcreeper at the Blackout Cookout, The singer of Persistent Aggressor is a meanie, Blackout Cookout was overall great, Met Big Business, Tool finally has a new album, and we play music from Blood Tusk and our new friends Wallcreeper. All of that and more! 

It's time for a Ki99 minisode, so you can get your NE Ohio Metal fix, and this week the "World Champions of Rock N Roll" Cheap Heat joins Eagle to figure out who the most metal wrestler of all time is.

Blackout Cookout X is coming up soon, and we got the man behind the event, Kenny Royer, and our Death Metal expert, Tim Shauver, with us to run down the bands, the history, the bowling, and we even talk about Cannibal Corpse. It's a great time, and we also play some tunes by Persistent Aggressor and goosed.
