interview by Michael McCarthy So far, the first and only time I’ve seen Quiet Riot live was in ’93 or ’94 when they were promoting the album Terrified, a record I’d still recommend to fans of the band’s early albums. The show was at an underground club – literally, it was a small basement level…

I’m only labeling this new Garbage video as a red hot video instead of a song of the day because “No Horses” already was a song of the day when they debuted the audio a week or so ago. Anyway, this is the apocalypse as seen by Garbage and director Scott Stuckey and, well, everything that…

interview by Michael McCarthy Today we have the second and final part of my in-depth interview with Eric Martin, the amazing frontman of Mr. Big. It’s my hope that it will get you excited to hear their new album, which is released today on July 21st, 2017 via Frontiers Records! Even if the only Mr. Big…

“This is the apocalypse,” sings Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson as their new single “No Horses” comes to its chilling conclusion. It starts off sounding like it’s going to be a synth pop song, albeit a dark one, with Shirley singing, “They’ll love you,

interview by Michael McCarthy Today we have an interview with a brilliant lyricist and a true rock star, Edward Rogers, originally from Birmingham, UK, but who immigrated to the United States when he was 12. If you’ve never heard of him, that’s all the more reason to read this interview and get to know him.…

“Hook, Line & Sinker” is the ass-kicking second song to be released from Royal Blood’s forthcoming album How Did We Get So Dark?, which will be released on June 16th via Warner Bros. Records. If the rest of the album rocks as hard as this one we’re about to get blown away. Just as we…

interview by Michael McCarthy It’s no secret that Warrant are one of my favorite heavy metal bands. They’ve been one ever since I saw the video for their first single, “Down Boys,” on MTV back in the later part of the ’80’s. Their blend of melodic vocals and sonorous music has always impressed me. And,…

interview by Michael McCarthy My introduction to Maximo Park was an unusual one. I was – and am – a big Natalie Imbruglia fan and there was an mp3 of this new band called Maximo Park covering her song “Shiver” on one of the fan sites. I almost didn’t download it because I knew it…

Fake Shark is the new project from frontman Kevvy Mental, who has produced for Carly Rae Jepsen and Kat Von D, among others. “Heart 2 Heart” hails from the pop rock band’s upcoming full-length album, Faux real, which is due out on May 26th via Light Organ Records. It’s an uppity, catchy little pop song…

interview by Michael McCarthy all photos by David Butler II I could sit here and tell you that I’ve been a fan of House of Lords from the beginning, but that wouldn’t be entirely true. While I did see some of their early videos on Headbanger’s Ball – Saturday nights at midnight on MTV –…
