I LOVE finding new killer bands . LOVE!  I discovered Corvus Lore about a year ago and started deep diving into their catalog and was blown away. You can't put your finger on it, the sound is all theirs.

LEGEND ALERT! When you hear that Phil Collen (Def Leppard) and Paul Cook (Sex Pistols) are checking in life is GOOD! Phil and Paul have been in the band MANRAZE (their side project) for more than 20 years (along with Bassist Simon Laffy who was in GIRL with Phil) and this killer trio is combining all of their influences and musical inspirations. Cool thing? They just released LOCK STOCK & BARREL-  a 5 CD boxed set that gives the fans a FULL look and listen - The MANRAZE experience if you will. The first two albums, an instrumental, live performances and "unreleased and unleashed"  a full disc or rarities and songs that never appeared on a Manraze album. We discuss power trios, making music with friends and why the London influence still fuels them. Loved this conversation with Phil Collen and Paul "Cookie" Cook. Rock Royalty, Legends, Great Guys. TC Out!

Conversation's with LJ from Sevendust are always like a catch up with an old friend.  That's what makes them special for me. Sevendust has been an Active Rock force for close to 30 years and their 15th release "ONE" is out and is dazzling. To me, their best yet. One of rock's greatest live bands, one of rock's greatest frontmen. In this Carr Stereo episode Lajon discusses how making this one felt different vocally, fatherhood and the road, playing a sold out  Madison Square Garden for the first time and his distinct style of "Rhythm and Bang".  LJ  checked in from the road, on the bands bus and I'm always grateful for the time when an artist is on tour.

Eva Under Fire is a KILLER band and catching up with Eva front woman and powerhouse- Amanda Lyberg is always energizing for me as an interviewer. Why? Because of her power. The band is releasing their new record "Villainous" on July 10th and it's a collection of hard hitting, Metal infused vignettes, each song painting a different picture and telling a different story. We discuss how "AMANDA" is front and center and how truth rules the music AND the incredible title track that features another QUEEN- Maria Brink from In This Moment.  Detroit grit, and how songwriting can be different when you are a licensed therapist. (Which Amanda is) Don't miss Eva Under Fire out on the road beginning in July with Five Finger Death Punch (which we discuss and means so much to the band) The perfect way to close out "Women's History Month" . TC Out!

Truth be told. I love Darryl McDaniels. And I have always loved RUN DMC.  I have known DMC coming up on 20 years and he is the most interesting, engaging, passionate yet humble guest. Do you hear some "background noise"? Well, that's because we caught up at Catfight Coffee - a rock and roll (and horror) themed coffee house in Boonton New Jersey that has not only great coffee, but a magic vibe. Darryl and I hiphop deep dive to the glory days of rap in NYC, how RUN DMC were the pioneers of rock and rap merging long before their Aerosmith collaboration, we discuss his demons, his reinvention, his inspirations AND new music and future plans.

Truly one of the most underrated bands of the 1980's was White Lion. Great songs, killer guitar player, charismatic, hot singer, talented rhythm section and the "Pride" (no pun intended) of MTV. Then they were gone.....I caught up with their founder Mike Tramp for a candid conversation over 30 years since our last chat (when we both were wearing leather and had GIANT hair!) about forming the band, his relationship with Vito Bratta, why the East Coast means so much to him, and more. What happened? Was there gas still left in the tank? Did their record company support them? And Mike explains how he is still honoring the White Lion song legacy while not being the same guy he was in the 1980's. It was a great ride, with Mike Tramp from White Lion. TC Out!

Racer X, Mr. Big, and Solo- Paul Gilbert is the GOAT! Sheer guitar brilliance on a whole other level and I loved picking Paul's  brain on his upcoming release WROC, early inspiration, teaching days, hearing loss and more. Paul is also such a character with his ability to weave stories through his musical accomplishments, he's a dream interview. And his new record is something else, with music coming from him and lyrics coming from the writings of Washington's Rules Of Civility (you can't make it up!)

Some people sing, some deliver songs. John Corabi does both. John has fronted some super cool bands like The Scream, Union, The Dead Daisies and of course Motley Crue and has put out some fantastic music over the years. This time, he has outdone himself. His first (official) solo record - "New Day" comes out on 4/24 and he has out together an incredible group of players and songs. In this episode John discusses why music shouldn't "be boxed", his friend and touring mate Tom Keifer, songwriting, the magic of Marti Frederiksen, covering Sly and The Family Stone, Philadelphia and New Jersey music scene memories and more. When I interview "The Crab" (as he is called) I call it "Going Crabbing" and I love talking to John!

It's always inspiring to connect with a band that I have been a huge fan of, that may not be top of mind for rock fans UNTIL they come back with something BIG. That is what this week's Carr Stereo Podcast represents. As a radio programmer, I have been a longtime fan of Aranda. Formed by brothers  Dameon and Gabe Aranda out of Oklahoma City. Aranda  busted out of the active rock scene in the late 2000’s with songs like "Still In The Dark", "Whyyawannabringmedown"- (covered by Kelly Clarkson) "Satisfied", and more- Great sound, big chunky hits.  Then Aranda  kind of disappeared- until 2022 when they returned with  "Recollections Of A Painted Year".  Now they are back-  with a great new single-  "You Don’t Wanna Know" - that was the #1 most added song at rock radio in it's first week- Well deserved- It's a SMASH!  I caught up with  Dameon Aranda - Aranda's guitarist and songwriter to discus where the band has been and where they are going - Don't know them? Kind of remember them" ? You will! Aranda returns. Success, loss and rebuilding - all covered  this week with Dameon Aranda.  TC Out! Tune in next week!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Des Rocs is as real as they come when it comes to authenticity in music. A New York kid (4 generations strong) who was born Danny Rocco, Des first entered my radar in 2018, but it wasn't until I saw him perform live (opening for The Rolling Stones in a stadium!) in 2019, that I started to connect Des with a new sound of New York. We discuss his new tune "This Land" from the Borderlands 4 gaming series, crafting sound, tone, touring, grit and polish and more. And a new album which is coming in 2026. Thanks for spending your Birthday with me Des! TC Out! Tune in next week!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most know Vernon Reid from his band Living Colour and his various guitar projects, but his deep dive into his new release - "Hoodoo Telemetry",  radio, The Black Rock Coalition (which he founded in 1985) , his love of Ernie Isley, fragmenting artists in the music biz and on the radio, rebellion and the Satantic Panic in music and more, made this one of the most amazing Carr Stereo chats. Vernon is a guitar goat, a crafter of sound and a fantastic hang. Enjoy! TC Out!

Kristyn Hope and her band Daedric are one of Metal Music's most exciting new sounds.  Combining classical style vocals, with guttural heavy growls, and inspired by the Elder Scrolls , their second release "As The Light Left" is a deeply personal journey through Kristyn's life and soul. She explains why it's so hard to "let music go", how her musical partners are more of a band this time and her vision for Daedric's future. What a Goddess of Heavy! TC Out!
