The ones for these original songs, I mean some of them were even earlier than that."Listeners who crave long, epic storytelling will be incredibly satisfied by Exul. "I'm always looking for every sng to take the listener on a journey.

It is a tribute to his fascination with motorcycle culture and the associated "classic rock" sound of the 70s. Vaisaid that he "was never really into cars or exotic old guitars or anything. But I was into studio gear and Harleys."The album features late friend of Vai Johnny "Gash" Sombrotto. "Gash didn't know how to do anything else but be entirely himself. No pretention, no placating a genre or a radio station or a record company...nothing!" Vai said. The two made the album so that Vai would have something to listen to when riding his motorcycle. However, the album ended up sitting on the shelf for almost 30 years...until 2023.Listeners can now explore the classic rock side of Vai on the album Vai/Gash and absorb the creative force of Johnny "Gash" Sombrotto. "This record transcends Steve Vai as a guitar player, artist, whatever," Vai remarks. "I'm a contributor...it's geared towards listening pleasure for people that love that old kind of 70s-80s straight ahead rock." Check out all of this and more in Steve Vai's exclusive interview with WSOU 89.5 FM.

...more February 07, 2023WSOU Interviews Cory Brandan from Norma Jean WSOU caught up with Cory Brandan from Norma Jean to talk about their latest album Deathrattle Sing For Me.
This album explores some uncharted territory for the band. The lead single, "Call For the Blood," is a slower, more eclectic punk sound...a sharp contrast from the band's earlier metalcore sound. However, the track was well-received by critics and fans alike."Call For the Blood" leads into "Spearmint Revolt," which has a similar sound with several experimental elements.Another aspect of this album that was new for Norma Jean was recording on a modular synthesizer, which was used to create many of the unorthodox sounds heard on the record.Check out Cory talk about all this and more with WSOU 89.5 FMIntro Graphics by: Audrey Pennington Intro Music: Higher Octane by Vans In Japan Keep up with WSOU on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wsoufm Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/wsou Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wsou

...more November 15, 2022WSOU Interviews Jay Weinberg from Slipknot WSOU interviews Jay Weinberg from Slipknot about their latest album The End, So Far.
"We've made three records together now, and each process has been wildly different than the one that preceded it."
The pandemic created an entirely new recording process for Slipknot. Jay learned how to record with the band during the making of The Gray Chapter, but for The End, So Far, he had to record demos on his electronic drum kit at home! However, he told us that "Aside from that, the dynamic is largely the same."
Many of these songs were also released while the band was on the road. With the return of touring and a new album, 2022 has been a big year for Slipknot. "It seems to feel like this whole resurgence and revitalized energy...we definitely feel that onstage," Jay said.
Watch Jay talk about all of these things and more in his interview with WSOU 89.5 FM!
