Scars and Guitars

Brothers In Arms is the brainchild of guitarist/composer Jack Frost, who it must be said is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock and metal. Brothers In Arms debut is called 'Sunset and Clark' and the band features Jack along with vocalist Andrew Freeman (Last In Line, Lynch Mob, Hurricane), drummer Karl Wilcox (Diamond Head), bassist Alex Jansen (Hardline) and keyboardist Charlie Calv (Angel) plus many more contributors.

This long-awaited conversation was a chance to dive into many aspects of Jack's career, so if you're yet to become acquainted with his playing, this chat is a great place to start.

This is one of my favourite conversations conducted for the podcast, so I hope you enjoy it too!

Check out well over 550 conversations with musicians who appear on the podcast: https://www.scarsandguitars.com

David Andersson is a guitarist and medical professional. Throughout this conversation, we cover the new album from The Night Flight Orchestra, called Aeromantic 2, his experiences as a musician and touch on his expertise as a doctor practising in the Swedish Health system.

Ginger is a rock n roll original, and The Wildhearts is his semi eponymous musical vehicle. The group's new album for 2021 is called 21st Century Lovesongs. Ginger talks about the album and a heap of other worthy topics, such as his time in Courtney Love's band and performing at a moments notice with Cheap Trick!

Mat Wale is the vocalist/ guitarist & Braden Dawson is the bassist in Melbourne based The Ascended. The new album from the lads is called The Dark and is out on September 17, 2021. We cover the album, reinvigorating metalcore and much, much more!

Robben Ford is one of the guitar greats and with a new instrumental album out called Pure, he's at the peak of his considerable powers. This far-reaching conversation covers Pure, and his thoughts on working with greats such as Miles Davis, and George Harrison. We also discuss a little known aspect of Robben's career: working on an album with actor Bruce Willis.

The legendary Carcass releases their first new album in 8 years, Torn Arteries on 17th September 2021 via Nuclear Blast. Jeff is certainly a character with a laconic approach to these media events but, it was great to chat with him all the same!

Andrew is the guitarist in Desecrator and the guitarist and vocalist in Harlott. It's not bragging to say that both bands are amongst the most important heavy metal bands in Australia today. Both groups command international attention and Harlott are signed to Metal Blade. The catalyst for the chat is the launch of Summoning, the new album for 2021 from Desecrator. We talk about all sorts of stuff in this episode, so enjoy!

Carnifex will release their new album Graveside Confessions on September 3, 2021, which meant it was a great time to catch up with frontman Scott Lewis. In this frank appraisal of the impact of the pandemic lockdowns on the group's finances, you'll hear that a deathcore band is like any other business, and Carnifex is suffering. Let's hope, for the group's sake touring can resume and Scott and the band can get back to eviscerating stages again.

Hookers & Blow have just launched a collection of covers under the banner of a self-titled album. The group features Guns'n'Roses keyboard player Dizzy Reed. Alex has played in a bunch of great outfits so we cover his experience recording with many well-known groups such as Public Enemy as well!

The new album from The Ugly Kings is out now, called Strange, Strange Times, which acts as the catalyst for this conversation between myself and Christos. A truly enjoyable foray into topics such as the new album, COVID, creating a killer guitars sound and much more!
