When Milwaukee’s #MetalChick meets Milwaukee’s #MetalQueen the airwaves heat up!

As you’ll hear in the interview with Ashleigh Ali of Magadore and The Four Horsemen Will Save Us, Milwaukee is lucky to have stolen her from across the pond!

We talk about how it’s tough to be a female metal guitarist in such a male dominated industry, her progression from her first guitar at 12 years old to now, and how Kirk Hammett inspired her to shred.

Metal Chick Podcast Episode 018 – Dead By April – Worlds Collide

Listen in as I walk track by track and my thoughts on the band’s career. I’ll let you know which ones stand out and which ones didn’t and why I think the final track is a home run for music in general.

Metal Chick Podcast Episode 020 - From West Hollywood to Milwaukee to Fond du Lac, Tom Gehde & Michael Gualderama of Amillennial.

In this double musician interview we're talking to an original thrash band that's been around for a while, they tell us their story or growing up with a love of music, how each made the transition to the heavier side of metal and how Amillennial came to be.

And then I learn I've been pronouncing the band's name incorrectly for years - but the guys don't care, they tell the story of their first show and the guy who tried (and failed rather spectacularly) to pronounce it.

Plus they share what their ideal "metal scene" would be.
