On todays episode I chat with an old friend who I reconnected with. His name is Lawrence Wagner and he is a rapper who I remember would freestyle rap and wow me with being able to be so quick with words and actually make sense of them. He has a full length album, a Soundcloud page full of bitchin' tunes with no plans of stopping any time soon. Give him a follow and a like. The link to his page is below!

This is a new format of the show. What happens in these episodes is I talk about bands that are no longer together that had a big impact on the local scene and shaped me as a musician. I'll tell a personal story or two of the featured band and play a handful of their songs. This months band is "15 Minutes Late" also known as "Logan Square". They had one of my favorite local drummers and the brooding lyrics that all the teenage kids longed for.

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Due to some computer issues I've recently had, today's episode is late. It still packs a punch though. I have one of the best drummers in the area on the show, Joe Corson! He plays drums for many different acts as of late and today he tells me why his set up is so god damn strange. We start off hot with a beer chug.

Also, I will be putting out another episode this week on Thursday so we are right on track with new episodes. Dont forget to check out old episodes, BROTHER.

Howdy! Welcome to the shows newest format. HARD CAP. It is a show where the is a hard cap of 20 minutes. It features my good friends, Brandon, Chuck and Walker.

Today we talk about respect. I also give former guess and long time band mate, Peter Day, a bunch of shit for not listening to my current bands new record. You can go into the archives and listen to the episode that I did with Peter. Love ya Pete! Enjoy. #HARDCAP

Another segment I welcomed into the hard cap family is, "A British Person Reading Terrible Lyrics". The song he will be reading is called "Ellen Degeneres" by Lil B. Its awful. Enjoy!

episode 39

Back to guests being on the show! Paul Neil is a long time musician who brought back the scene to Tivoli Bowl in Downers Grove. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE TIVOLI this is the guy to ask. The link to his Facebook is below. Paul also tours with his band that resides in Germany, Doping The Void. He got pretty angry when I said his Rap/Rock band sounds like Bloodhound Gang but it wasnt meant as a diss. He has a strong passion for music and does an incredible job at keeping the local scene alive.

SOTW: Wreck Loose - Feed Me

Happy Star Wars day! When I was sound checking the Wrestlemania episode, Pat, Rob and myself got into a heated conversation about Star Wars. It wasnt supposed to be an episode, but anytime there is a yelling match of two people agreeing on the same thing, you gotta put it out. It is ridiculous but laugh, you will.

SOTW : Landspeeder - Stormloser

Facebook.com/Landspeederband

This week I breakdown a local show. The idea seems so easy, but I didn't think of it. Stone Mason from The Kings Rising threw the idea my way. I take a gander at the performances of Eraserhead and The Kings Rising at Basecamp in Lisle. If you're looking for a negative review you've come to the wrong place. I give an honest/positive review of a fun show that I went to on a Friday night. Go check out these bands and support local music!
