Lockhart - Devon Kerr and Jason Junop
Send us Fan MailNon-Stop Rock Talk proudly presents guitarist/singer/keyboardist - Devon Kerr and bassist - Jason Junop of Canadian AOR band Lockhart to discuss the bands latest release on High Roller Records entitled 'City Pulse'. The discussion goes full bore into the album. Devon and Jason give Tyson all the details on recording, filming videos, where the inspiration of the songs come from and who designs the wicked costumes seen in the video for "Can't Shake It"! Kane Roberts is brought up, as Devon is compared to Kane in the bands video for "City Pulse". Kane's single for "Does Anyone Fall In Love Anymore" is brought up and Devon actually sings the chorus! The conversation discusses where Devon and Jason take influence from - it was surprising and interesting Desmond Child, Mark/Marcie Free, Survivor and Dare are all mentioned. These gentlemen have clearly taken a deep dive into so many lesser known bands that clearly influenced Lockhart's sound. What really puts this interview into perspective... When Devon discusses what guitars were used on the album. He mentions using a Carvin Guitar - "The one Marty Friedman used in Cacophony". For those music geeks, like Tyson is - many would mention Marty in Megadeth, not Cacophony. So that is what this interview is, a surprisingly refreshing rock talk!Support the showwww.nonstoprocktalkrocks.com

Send us Fan MailNon-Stop Rock Talk welcomes back Ray West and Rob DeLuca of New York City band Spread Eagle to discuss the recording of the bands brand new album 'The Brutal Devine' which drops on June 12th via Frontiers Records. Although we weren't able to discuss all the tracks as Tyson had not yet been advanced a copy, the conversation was still easy as talking music in general is not something that is a challenge for Tyson. There is always a platform, like an artist with a canvas in front of him. Songs were still available on streaming - 'Flat Earth Vultures' and 'Street Noise' were available to discuss. Rob also goes in depth about the production side of the recording and Ray weighs in on what it is like for him when recording his vocals. The guitar work of Gianmaria 'Jommy' Puledda is brought up and for the guitar hero fans - his playing is worth paying attention too! Jommy is a killer player and he shines on this recording.

Johnny Dee - Drummer - Doro Pesch, Tyketto, Britny Fox
Send us Fan MailNon-Stop Rock Talk welcomes legendary drummer Johnny Dee to discuss the brand new Tyketto album entitled 'Closer to the Sun'. Johnny and Tyson discuss some of the tracks and the studio where the album was recorded. Ironically enough, Johnny had recorded with Waysted 40 years prior at that very studio. Not only had Johnny recorded there, but Rush, Oasis and Coldplay had used the studio as well.The conversation also goes deep into the Britny Fox story. The club daze even before Johnny joined the band, the recording of 1989's 'Boys in Heat' - how singer Dean Davidson was unhappy with the band for having him remove vocal tracks he had added to the album which may have lead to his dissatisfaction within the band, the proposed original cover/title which never saw the light of day and the things he didn't like about the album when it was released. The discussion also takes a course about technology - how it has taken the creative side out of not only music but in film as well. A very intriguing part of this discussion is in relation to a book written by Antonio Aloia and Mick Michaels (Corners of Sanctuary - Season 2 - Episode 38) entitled 'When We Rocked - The Story of the Philadelphia Scene 1978 - 1992'. Johnny had a part in this book as he wrote the forward and he also is quoted many times throughout the reading. A great book that covers the great bands that came out of the Philly circuit - Cinderella, Britny Fox, Tangier, Teeze/Roughouse and Heaven's Edge. For fans of Britny Fox, Johnny Dee and the Philly scene this is a must listen. It touches on so many aspects that hopefully enhances your listening experience and creates a little bit of nostalgia. Johnny is very well-spoken, intelligent and it is obvious how passionate he is about music. www.nonstoprocktalkrocks.comSupport the showwww.nonstoprocktalkrocks.com

The latest video for "I Never Meant To" on BraveWords Records. David's feelings on re-recording of the classic Accept song 'Prisoner' on the latest album 'Rapid Succesion: On Target II'. Tyson brings up the point to David, that Mark Slaughter was correct in stating that a new executive at MTV was the one that created the downfall in the early 90's which lead to the demise of the 80's 'hard rock' era. Corporate sponsorship also played into the equation which opens up a whole can of worms. Now, the show does get a little serious, with Tyson and David discussing world issues, possibly not a rock talk, but it does get to a point of music. The perspective at one point relates to a certain Metallica song from 'Master of Puppets'. Through the seriousness of the world, the two are able to bring it back to music. The Beatles are mentioned as the conversation touches on musicians who believe in freedom of speech but are taken in the wrong context for their words.Support the showwww.nonstoprocktalkrocks.com
