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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Talking to Kyle for the first time was just like talking to an old friend.  I really enjoyed talking with him about the return of Exhorder, why 2019 was the right time for their return, and the legendary New Orleans metal scene.  Kyle is an incredibly nice and really funny and I had a blast […]

Since first hearing them back in 1990, I have been a ginormous fan of pop/rock legends Jellyfish.  The band only released two albums (Bellybutton and Spilt Milk) and heavily toured for both.  I was extremely lucky to see Jellyfish twice and both times were on the Spilt Milk tour.  The album and touring lineup featured […]

Classic rockers Lucifer has been a favorite band of mine for quite some time.  Vocalist/Songwriter/Founding member Johanna Sadonis has put out some of my favorite music.  Starting with her former band The Oath to Lucifer’s last album, Lucifer III, Johanna never ceases to blow my mind as both a writer and a performer.  Lucifer wrapped […]
