Robin McAuley is releasing a new solo album on February 28, 2025 entitled Soulbound.

Robin stops by to talk about the new record, gives us an update on the next Black Swan record, and an update on Michael Schenker. Join us as we talk the Rock, and stick around to hear two killer songs from Soulbound! In case you don't know a lot about Robin's history, here's a little information about this amazing singer! Robin McAuley is widely recognized as one of the great singers of a golden period in hard rock music. His voice can be heard on albums from Grand Prix and Far Corporation, and of course, on the chart-topping MSG records 'Perfect Timing,' 'Save

Yourself,' and 'MSG.' Through these releases, he was introduced to hard rock fans around the globe, who no doubt recognized the inherent talent and skill in his vocal abilities.

Once he departed MSG, McAuley released one solo record in 1999, then joined AOR

legends Survivor. He then re-grouped with Schenker in Michael Schenker Fest on their recent records 'Resurrection' and 'Revelation,' And of course, in what was an absolute revelation to hard rock fans around the world, in 2020, he came out swingin' as the frontman of the supergroup Black Swan, where he joined forces with Reb Beach (Whitesnake, Winger), Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, ex-Dokken), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr Big). Black Swan have released two albums to date, and a third release is coming soon! Rock and Roll music (and conversation) that DESERVES to be heard!

Alex Skolnick first became well known as the guitarist for Testament. Alex is not just a speed player however, and has a broad interest in different musical styles. He can certainly shred with the best of them, but there are many flavors to his playing. Alex joins us by phone to discuss one of his bands, Metal Allegiance, who have a live show coming up on January 23, 2025 in Anaheim California. We talk about his background, find out how he went from playing thrash to jazz, earning a degree in jazz, and talk about the forming of Metal Allegiance and discuss the two albums the band have released to this point, and whether a third album will be forthcoming. Alex picks out some Metal Allegiance music for us to crank up at the end. Alex has had such and interesting career and he was absolutely a pleasure to speak with.
