So, I’m talking to my buddy Jesus. No, not that Jesus. If I talked to that one I’d probably be bilking you for donations and pretending to heal people. Anyways, he’s on his way to the Korn show in Rostraver. Freakin’ Rostraver. Belle Vernon, PA. Like well out […]

Hailing from Knoxville Tennessee, Whitechapel brings the heavy back to heavy metal. There is no limit for how heavy their music can honestly get. If you don’t believe me, just check-out their re-mastered version of their first album “The Somatic Defilement” that was just re-released not even a […]
Real old electric blues had a specific tonality and sound. Robert Johnson, Muddy and even Buddy Guy didn’t have any Bonamassa, or Hendrix “Red House” tones, like any of the big “blues” guys today. Missing was the “Dumble” sound or any of what I would call contemp-blues tones […]

A letter to Billie Joe: Maybe it was the sight of a drunken, dirty Easter bunny throwing candy to the capacity crowd at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh on Easter Sunday night. Maybe it was the super soaker hoses, and the toilet paper rollers, and the t-shirt launchers. […]
