  • Episode 70: Marc Storace (Krokus)

    I first heard Krokus back in 1984.  The song was "Screaming in the Night" and it was a part of a compilation album called Masters of Metal that was put by an 80's record label called K-Tel.  Loving this song so much sent me out running to the record store to pick up the album Headhunter and from there I became a Krokus fan for life.  Getting to talk to vocalist Marc Storace was amazing.  We talked about how to say his name correctly, the life long comparison to late AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott, and all kinds of other cool shit!

  • Episode 69 - Lisa Lystam (Heavy Feather/Lisa Lystam & The Family Band/Siena Root)

    Blues rockers Heavy Feather are releasing a new album year titled  Mountain of Sugar and I couldn't be more pumped for them.  Lystam and her crew deliver an incredible dose of sassy, in-your-face, and out the door blues-rock that at times can even be intimidating.  Lisa was such an awesome person to talk to and I really enjoyed talking blues music, staying sane during Covid, and a bunch of other stuff!

  • Episode 68: Fran Tobolsky (Wucan)
    2020 was an awesome year for my podcast.  As shitty as this year was, I am lucky to have had some really cool guests on my show.  I couldn’t think of a better way to end the year than with an interview with Fran Tobolsky of Wucan.  I have been a huge fan of this […]

  • Episode 67: Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan (Venom Inc)
    I have had the pleasure of not just interviewing the legendary Venom/Venom Inc bassist/vocalist Demolition Man a handful of times but we have become very close friends over the past five years or so.  Tony is one of the hardest working people in music and his positive, welcoming, and joyful presence on social media is […]

  • Episode 66: Martin Östlund (Lykantropi)
    Since earlier this year, Lykantropi has quickly become one of my new favorite bands.  I don’t mean just a “band of the month” thing but Lykantropi has literally secured themselves a spot in the top tier of favorite bands.  Everything about this band is what I love about music.  Dark lyrical undertones, melodically dark music, […]

  • Episode 65: Rob Hammersmith (Skid Row)
    For the last ten years, Rob Hammersmith has been laying the rhythmic foundation for hard rock legends Skid Row.  Rob has traveled the world and back playing everywhere from small rock clubs to massive European festivals proving that no matter who is at the drums or behind the mic, Skid Row’s reputation of being a […]

  • Episode 64: Rachel Bolan (Skid Row)
    For those that know me, I have been a HUGE Skid Row fan for over 30 years and counting.  I recently had the chance to have bassist Rachel Bolan as a guest on the podcast.  It was a blast talking to Rachel as we discussed the future of music in the Covid-19 times, 1989’s Moscow […]

  • Episode 63: Twin Temple – The Covid Edition
    Satanic Doo-Woppers Twin Temple have been taking on this pandemic and doing so with horns high and smiles wide.  I had a great time chatting with husband and wife leaders Zach and Alexandra about the pandemic, Cardi-B, missing being out on the road, and many other things Twin Temple.  As always, it was so much […]

  • Episode 62: Heavy Metal Lunch Reunion (featuring James).
    Back in 2008 or so, my best friend James and I launched a podcast called the Heavy Metal Lunch.  Basically all we would do was get together, eat shitty (but really awesome) food, drink booze, and talk about metal.  The Heavy Metal Lunch was one of the most fun things I have ever done and […]

  • Episode 61: Steve Grimmett (Grim Reaper)
    Legendary NWOBHM band Grim Reaper is a band that I have loved since first hearing their song “Rock You to Hell” from the album of the same title.  Like a dumbass, I went to the record store and picked up their album See You in Hell accidentally.  While “Rock You to Hell” wasn’t on that […]
