🤘🎸 EPISODE SPOTLIGHT: Singer - Alex Sandra!🤘😈

Alex will be Gen X Joe's special guest for Season 3, Episode 5. You will quickly discover with our guest, that she just doesn't front a rock band — she IS the sound. Known for her raw stage presence and lyrics that cut straight to the bone, Alex has spent the years finding her voice and carving out a sound that blends classic rock grit with a modern, unapologetic edge. Off stage, Alex is just as compelling — a storyteller at heart, unfiltered and endlessly curious about the music, the myths, and the madness behind the scenes of the industry she loves. On this podcast, she pulls back the curtain: the highs, the flops, the 3am tour bus revelations, and everything in between.

No filter. No fluff. Just Alex Sandra, telling it like it is.

🤘DOES CLEVELAND REALLY ROCK⁉️

On one of the very last vacation episodes of the Youth Gone Mild Podcast, host Gen X Joe has Jib Machine Records founder John Templeman as his guest to begin Season 3, Episode 1.

Since its inception in 2004, Jib Machine has released more than sixty records, many of which were made by unforgettable Cleveland characters by keeping their ears to the clubs and done their best to boost contemporary Ohio rock's signal. But they've never forgotten their roots or the roots of the local sound, and they've reissued music by area legends and assisted the re-formation of beloved, fondly remembered groups.

One of the biggest names to have to have done so is Slammin' Gladys, they brought their distinctive hard rock, funk, blues, and glam-metal out of a decades-long hibernation to cut a new album a few years back. Their story and more from the man behind the label for this new episode.

🤘🎧 THIS IS IT! THE INTERVIEW! 🎸🎵

According to Gen X Joe, this rock "journeyman" shouldn't need an introduction for Season 2, Episode 18. Having fronted a string of successful bands over the past 35 plus years, John Corabi ranks as one of Gen X Joe's TOP 3 FRONTMEN OF ALL TIME. So, when the opportunity to interview the former Mötley Crüe frontman (1992–1996), also known for his work with The Scream, The Dead Daisies, and Union, finally arrived, Gen X Joe's nerves were shot. But, Corabi was so laid-back and open that the nervousness quickly faded.

"Interviewing or meeting your idols is the most amazing things, especially when you connect on a platform you both have a love for — music," says Gen X Joe.

Beyond fronting those bands, Corabi has also lent his gritty vocals and guitar work to acts including ESP, Brides of Destruction, and RATT.

Corabi's current full-length solo album, New Day, was released on April 24 of this year via Frontiers Music srl.

Thank you to Jody Best for helping with the arrangements for setting up the interview.
