Chris Cornell: talented, creative, a legendary artist and tortured soul. A fighter who battled years of abuse, depression and torment. His struggle eventually pushed him to the brink. He could not take another day and ultimately, and still incredibly hard believe, he died by sucide May 18, 2017. This past July, on the birthday of […]
A few months back my Editor assigned me to review the latest release from Flotsam and Jetsam, The End of Chaos. I was stoked to do it as I am with every assignment. What I got was a screaming hot record dropped in my lap. I was in complete love with it from the first […]
The Brink are a hard rock band that sprung right out of Sheffield/Cambridge, England. I’ll give you the short story about the The Brink, then we will roll right into their latest album release, Nowhere to Run. The band was playing out, as many bands do, whenever they could, anywhere they could, as often as they […]
Where to begin here, “sex, drugs and rock-n-roll” are the only words that are truly an appropriate descriptions. By all intents and purposes there should be no LA Guns these days, but I thank my lucky ears that they still are!!! The Devil You Know, is the band’s newest creation, born in 2019. This is […]
1986 brought us Flotsam and Jetsam’s debut record Doomsday and the Deceiver. Here we are rocking into 2019 with yet another bombastic deliverance from Flotsam and Jetsam with their latest creation, The End Of Chaos….or is it?

Enuff Z’Nuff formed in 1984, out of the mean streets of Blue Island, Illinois. The roads they have traveled have been long and not without their fair share of pebbles, rocks and boulders. They have the tenacity that kept them driving forward through it all. Most notably right from the starting line as their record […]

We are here to check out Metalachi: The World’s First and Only Metal Mariachi Band, along with the opening band, The Bombpops. I’m sure all the visuals are happening in your head, and while further explanation probably isn’t […]
You would never have guessed it was a Sunday night, in April, in Solana Beach. Los Lonely Boys were wrapping up the end of their West Coast Tour, and lucky for us in the area, they landed at the Belly Up Tavern. The place was packed well before the doors opened until the early morning. As Lisa Morales […]
Knee High Fox released their first record, Black Widow, in 2012 and have been touring extensively ever since. It would be hard to know where they have found the time to record, three more records and two EP’s since, but they did. I think they are Vampires without the “day” sleep requirement. The latest and […]
1987 marks the year the Bulletboys entered the scene. They released their first record, Bulletboys, in 1988 and never looked back. The self-titled debut produced a number of hits, Hard as a Rock, Kissin Kitty, and the ever popular Smooth Up in Ya. At the time they were categorized as a “Hair Metal” or a […]
