Interview with Boe Skadeland of Mobile Death Camp

The guys of Mobile Death Camp aren’t messing around when it comes to speed metal. They don’t need any special costumes, fancy backdrops, or some extensive light show to try and add to their live performances. Mobile Death Camp is in your face all bullshitting aside, METAL, which is just the way it should be, if you ask me. This three piece is made up of seasoned musicians, one

Stone the Manic review

If you’re from Michigan and have any kind of a social life at all, then you’ve most likely been to one of the heavyweight battles, or at least heard of them at one point or another. This battle of the bands has been something I’ve looked forward to on a yearly basis, for as long as I’ve been old enough to go out to shows. Local bands from all

40oz of Spite Interview with Dirty Dave and Tommy Gun

  What can I say about the band 40oz of Spite? They are definitely one of the craziest (and I do mean mental), most energetic bands around. I think the best description I have ever heard someone say about 40oz’s, was after one of their shows at the Breakroom in Grand Rapids, when this guy comes up and tells the band, that they’re like the one night stand that

Interview with Hank Williams III

It’s pretty safe to say that I am quite the fan when it comes to music, no matter what the genre. With that being said, I’d like to point out, that my love for Shelton Hank Williams the 3rd, goes a bit above and beyond that. Hank 3 is one of the most versatile musicians that I have ever come across, and not only was he blessed by getting passed

Clutch Interview; drummer Jean Paul Gaultier

It is amazing to me, to see that Clutch has not yet taken over the music world by storm yet. In my opinion, they are one of the most talented bands not only lyrically, but technically and creatively as well. Since Clutch’s start back in 1990, they have proved themselves to be one of those rock solid bands, that won’t be throwing the towel in any time soon. The

As I Lay Dying Interview: Josh Gilbert

I stumbled across As I Lay Dying a few years back, on myspace of all places. I never really gave much thought to them, until I picked up one of their albums (Frail Words Collapse, to be exact) and listened to it front to back. Needless to say, I have been a fan ever since, and I hope to see more from these very talented guys in the future.

Mayhemfest Review… The madness that is.

The Rockstar Mayhemfest this past august in Detroit, at the DTE Music Theatre, could easily go down as one of the best days of my life. If you’ve never been to an outdoor festival, and Mayhem was your first, you would truly be disappointed by anything else that tries to follow in its footsteps. This was the third year for Rockstar to host the Mayhemfest. I was lucky enough

Stone Temple Pilots Show Review

Before arriving to the Fox Theatre for Stone Temple Pilots show, I was a little hesitant considering two things; I’ve never heard of Cage the Elephant before the day of the show, and I’ve never once seen a concert at the Fox Theatre.  Fortunately to my surprise Cage the Elephant were amazing- Their stage presence combined with their huge wall of sound, made the performance very raw. They must’ve
