Banging the Drums: An Interview with Johnny Rabb of Collective Soul
interview by Michael McCarthy I’m going to start off by admitting something here: I’d lost track of Collective Soul over the years.

ATTENDING THE WAKE: AN INTERVIEW WITH DAN “CHEWY” MONGRAIN OF VOIVOD
interview by Michael McCarthy If there is one thing Voivod fans have been able to expect throughout the band’s 35-year career, it’s that they never make the same album twice.

ROCKIN’ THE O.C: AN INTERVIEW WITH CRAIG BROOMBA OF FILMSPEED
interview by Michael McCarthy I was sitting around bored one night, frustrated that I wasn’t finding anything that I was in the mood to listen to when I decided to check out some random albums being presented to me by publicists. It’s certainly not uncommon that I listen to things they send me,...

UK COMPUTER: AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES OF ARTH AND ARTH
interview by Michael McCarthy Arth and Arth make what I would call mood music. To me, mood music is music that can change the whole tone of your day or evening. In the case of Arth and Arth, their trippy and often ethereal music is rather intoxicating, coming on like a painkiller. Your...
