SI #33 This is Tanya Elizabeth & Eddie DeCesare | Monochromatic Black
Tanya Elizabeth and Eddie DeCesare are benevolent souls: Kind people who give of their time and opinions and whom I am immensely impressed with as musicians and people. Monochromatic Black isn't just another 'female fronted' metal band. To be honest, I really don't like that Monochromatic Black…

-
SI #29 This is Michael Decker | BornBroken
This band, BornBroken, is kind of everything for me. They are heavy, brutal, tight, incredibly well recorded, and everything is well written. Let's be honest... they are all the things. Today, I'm fortunate enough to have on the original of originals: The man behind the legacy of the band…

SI #28 This is Blake Fleming | Author | Dazzling Killmen | Mars Volta
Blake Fleming has kind of done it all. When I sent my prescreen questions, Blake said he's an open book. Granted, most say this, but I get the sneaking suspicion that Blake is telling it 100% like it is. He's been a part of some of the biggest bands in the world including Dazzling Killmen and…

SI #27 This is Christian Mayfield & Anson Clark | Acacia Ridge
Acacia Ridge is a band that I've grown quite fond of over the last year, and I finally have a chance to interview someone in the band to give me the clarity I seek.... about the band's mission, purpose and future hopes. Anson and Christian are founding members... love when bands introduce…

SI #26 This is Joey Callahan | Comedian
Joey Callahan is a working comedian and geniunely one of the funniest I've heard in a long time. I love his style and wit and his old school approach and delivery. To me, he's a Carson's comic and I hope that's okay to say. I am not a fan of comparing anyone to anything but I think it's an...
-
SI #25 This is Connor Blackwood | Alchemize
My guest today is Connor Blackwood, the front man for Alchemize. This band does things really well and, as you know, music like this is the reason I do the show to begin with. People need to hear when bands tie genres together, because great things happen. The rest is the discovery process.…

SI #23 This is Michael Bala | Necronomicon Ex Mortis
Today, my guest is someone I admire for his talents as a musical phenom. Hailing from the Chicago area, or at least the band does, Michael Bala of Necronomicon Ex Mortis is the kind of guy I really enjoy talking to. He's a serious talent, and his voice deserves to be amplified. Here's the thing.…

SI #19 This is Float Omen
Float Omen. I discovered the band a few months back and immediately fell in love with one of their latest singles and never looked back. It was stuck in my head all day and remains so to this day. Earworm central. Today, I'm fortunated enough, as are you.... to meet 2 of the 6 guys. We'll meet…

SI #18 This is Dory-Loup Venta | Mirabelle
Ahhh.... Dory Loup of the fantastic French punk band, Mirabelle. Oh my goodness, do I love this band.... They bring the best parts of the late 90s and early 2000s to the forefront. Their latest releases floored me, especially a song that I believe will break them fully around the world... the...
-
SI #17 This is Ian Van Gemeren | Axamenta | Composer
Axamenta. The band is back after a long winter's nap. Axamenta formed in 1993.... that's 31 years, people. I can't lie and say I've been a fan since then because I didn't know an ounce about them until recently when their PR company sent me a copy of their 23 minute EP. Insta Fan! Axamenta is a...

SI #16 This is Dima Afanasyev | Sinoptik
Dima Afanasyev of the Ukrainian superband, Sinoptik. What can I say that I haven't mentioned a million times before online in various ways? I love Dima. He's pure. He's kind. He's an amazing musician. A genius in so many ways. His music is legend in Ukraine and his stature is assured. I fell in...

-
SI #13 This is Vikram Shankar | Silent Skies | Pain of Salvation | Lux Terminus | Redemption
Here's one of those things that escapes all of us. Sometimes, we find out about a person way later than we feel we should have. It's odd to be so active in the business of music and discover artists that have been changing the ground under our feet yet were keenly unaware of until recently. My…
more -
SI #12 This is James Falck | BEAR | Cobra the Impaler
To me, the frustration of being a music fan, and specifically a metal or progressive music fan is that the vast majority of music comes from other countries and has to be sought out. Some of the biggest bands in the world are those that Americans may never know about, or very little certainly.…
more -
SI #11 This is Jon Charles | Vocalist | EXOVAL
I met Jon when I interviewed him years ago for an old band that has since gone defunct, ... it just is what it is... it happens to the best of them. You may remember when I was talking to producer Jonathan Plum back in 2016 on Rockstar Superhero Episode #5, (Alice in Chains, and Blind Melon (he…

SI #10 This is Clark Larew Jones | Comedian
Clark Larew Jones! The man has the best last name..... but since you all know that my full name is Robert Leland Jones, it makes sense.. Son of John, which means God is gracious... I have always liked that part of my name, even if I don't use it often. You've seen Clark on Comedy Central, the…
more -
SI #9 This is Tim Tymo | TYMO
Tim Tymo. The name brings terror to the hearts of thrash music listeners. He's a beast on guitar, a beast on stage, and a gentle lion in person. Tim hails from Alberta Canada, which explains the gentle lion part. He's also been very outspoken about his recovery over the last few years, so I feel...
-
SI #8 This is Davidavi Dolev | Subterranean Masquerade
Davidavi Dolev is one of my favorite people and closest friends in the world.For those of you that do not know, I was introduced to his band, Subterranean Masquerade via the incredible PR company, Earsplit, a few years back and well... "wow" was the first word out of my mouth. The music, the...

Today is Simen Sandnes day and I want to say that I love this man. He's one of my favorite people in the world, because when Simen shows up, the world smiles a little brighter. Simen offers so much in the way of inspiration. He's a fantastic drummer, to be sure, but what sets him apart is his…

When the Ukraine fell into war a few years ago, Ruslan was ready. He knows his way around a war and I'm positive he'll find his way through. I believe this with all my heart and so do the animals he supports! Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Kiev, my buddy and amazing animal humanitarian,...

RS #191 - An Oooey Gooey Sticky Mess with Tommy Meehan | Squid Pisser
In the music business, there are the normies, there are the crazies, and there are the in-betweens. There also happens to be an unspoken netherworld that aligns with something a little stranger and sits outside the boundaries of pretty much everything you know. My guest today, Tommy Meehan,...
-
RS #189 - Music is an Act of War with Scott 'WINO' Weinrich | The Obsessed
Scott WINO Weinrich is everything I ever wanted to be when I grew up. He's a pure soul, a fantastic guitarist and vocalist and boy... does he mean business. It's not often you get to chat with a legend but this was all the things for me. Listen to the show, buy the incredible new record and go…

RS #187 - The Poetic Redemption of Love with Graham Russell | Air Supply
Graham Russell is a true musical icon. He and his musical partner of 46 years, Russell Hitchcock, formed Air Supply, the song writing super duo, in the early 70's and really never looked back. Graham's childhood was anything but normal, leaving him without a mother at a very early age. However,...
-
RS #183 - The Reincarnation of Glam with Harry Springer | Moon Walker
Harry Springer may compose, produce and perform all of Moon Walker's music in his bedroom, but the electrifying and eclectic sounds feel more fitting for a stadium. It's just that good. That immediate. When Harry formed Moon Walker at the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic, he was looking for a way…
more -
RS #182 - Charles Cure returns | Hush | Spiritkiller
When I think of all the people I've interviewed over the years, very few fall into that short list of people I not only admire as a creative, but one in which I genuinely feel connected to on a cellular level. New York state's own Charles Cure, singer for the legendary hardcore band, Hush, has a...
-
RS #180 - The Miserable Genre with Vojta Pačesný | Seeing Things
Vojta Pačesný is such a kind and interesting guy. I don't get to talk to many musicians from the former Eastern Bloc in Europe, so learning more about who they are, and what makes their culture and music different, is a really fun process. As it worked out, I was able to get a good 40 minutes…

RS #179 - A Subtle Shift in Chemistry with Chris Hathcock | The Reticent
Chris Hathcock is known as creative mind and songwriter for the progressive metal band, The Reticent. Chris is also known as a Grammy nominated music educator, and is one of the most interesting, and challenging, humans I've met over my years as a performing artist. I've known Chris for awhile…
more -
RS #176 - The Epitome of Cool with Author and Historian John Robb | The Membranes
There aren't many surviving old school punk musicians. Many of them have gone on to that great gig in the sky, but those that have survived the last 45 years are the true legacy artists of a long gone generation. Mention Johnny Rotten, Siouxsie Sioux, Nina Hagen, or Henry Rollins and you know…
more -
RS #173 - Sludge and Smoked Paprika with Steven McDonald | The Melvins
This week on the show, we break some new ground. It's not often we are afforded a chat with musical royalty, but today... indeed we are. Bassist Steve McDonald started his professional music career at 11 years old. Within a few years, he and his brother Jeff started the seminal power pop band…
more -
RS #169 - Karin Park is Pure
Karin Park seems to exist on an alternate plane. It's rare that an artist can feel so singular, even when it's apparent that there is a sort of hidden musical homage to those that have influenced them. Karin's new album, Private Collection, speaks to the soul in a profound way. The music is…

RS #165 - Don't get too Comfortable | Spirit in the Room
As Dennis Sanders says 'Life has a way of saying "don't get too comfortable,"' and maybe that's exactly why I like his music so much. Today, on the show, you're going to make another new discovery with me, as we listen to the first moments a new artistic friendship was formed. Dennis' band…

Pizza, Zombies, and Unicorns with Alon Karnieli | Sinnery
Sinnery is a fantastic band and my interview with Alon Karnieli was all the things I'd hoped it'd be. What's really crazy is Alon is halfway around the world and we actually have mutual friends. How does that happen? Sinnery's new record, Black Bile, comes out in September, and everyone I know is...

more -
The Magical Elixir | Stormbound
There's an odd thing that happens in the music business and particularly in the world of heavy metal. People love to categorize. In fact, they love to do it so much, that every band in history despises the question, yet guys like me have to ask it because how else can we turn our listeners onto a...
-
RS #150 - The Edges of the Frame with Andreas Ballnus | Philosophobia
Guitarist and songwriter, Andreas Ballnus, has been working on a 'new' project called Philosophobia for 15 years. Yes, I said that right... 15 years. In between gigs with various world class musicians around Europe, Andreas and a few other superstar musicians wrote, recorded, and ultimately...

-
Music Is a Person | High Castle Teleorkestra
What do you do when you encounter genius? Do you let it overwhelm you? Do you ask it questions, to better understand it's impossible point of view? Do you sit and revel in the idea that some can see other worlds and imagine other sounds? Typically, I sit in awe and do my best impression of a…
more -
RS #145 - The Knife's Edge with Charles Cure | Hush | Spiritkiller
If you were confronted with a life or death situation, how do you think you would respond? Would you bear down and deal with the circumstances and worry about the consequences later? How would you respond emotionally? Would you pray? My guest today, Charles Cure of the brutal New York based…

RS #143 - The Glamorous Archetype with Jacob Charlton | Thornhill
Thornhill has been exciting audiences for a few years now. Another monster band, hailing from the land down under, this Australian quintet knows how to put it down and wrap you around their sugary fingers.

The Ravaged Planet with Maria Lessing | Future Palace
Maria Lessing, the singer from the lush and lovely Future Palace, was my guest on the show today and I'm 100% sure you're going to love her voice. She's a great emotive vocalist with a big range and a certain way about her, and she has the performance chops of someone who's been in the business…

RS #140 - The Color of a Moment with Hunter Young | Moodring
Hunter Young, the possessor of a truly ethereal voice is a man focused on the challenge of overcoming. Hunter has stated in interviews that he shouldn't be called brave or anyone to look up to, but I absolutely disagree with this statement. If one is willing to write the truth and sing the truth,...
