The Jeremy White Show welcomes Kelly Keagy from Night Ranger!
Jeremy White interviewed Kelly from Night Ranger to discuss their new album "Best Of," which features remixed and remastered versions of classic hits alongside newer tracks from their time with Frontiers Music. Kelly explained how they approached re-recording songs like "Sister Christian" by using alternate takes and modern production techniques to create a sound that better represents how they perform the songs live today. They discussed the challenges of recording contracts from the 1980s, particularly how publishing rights were signed away to major labels like MCA, limiting their ability to use classic songs in commercial campaigns. Kelly shared insights about the band's evolution from a live-focused rock act to dealing with label pressure to record power ballads, which affected their creative direction. The conversation also covered Kelly's unique drum setup with two floor toms positioned to the left, which was inspired by a previous tour with Sammy Hagar where space was limited on stage.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Patrick Guay from Evenko!
Jeremy interviewed Patrick Guay from Evenko about the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival happening July 31st to August 2nd in Montreal at Parc Jean-Drapeau as well as LASSO MTL. Patrick discussed the festival's evolution from its humble beginnings in 2006 with 6,000 attendees to becoming a sold-out event with 50,000 people, featuring major headliners like Twenty One Pilots, Tate McRae, and Thomas Rhett, Mumford & Sons, Old Dominion.
They covered the challenges of booking diverse lineups across multiple genres, managing logistics for 50,000 attendees, and providing premium backstage experiences for artists. Patrick explained how the festival has adapted post-COVID, implemented new clear bag policies, and continues to grow both Osheaga and the newer Lasso country festival, while noting the lack of adequate amphitheater venues in Montreal limits larger stadium shows.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Nix Ironstone!
A raw and unapologetic call-out, the track blends alt-rock and goth pop into a darkly cinematic soundscape that channels loyalty, heartbreak, and female solidarity. Co-written with international pop artist Malory and produced by Malory alongside JUNO Award-winner Hill Kourkoutis (SATE, The Cliks), the single pairs haunting melodies with punch-you-in-the-gut hooks.
This new chapter marks a powerful transformation for Nix. After more than a decade of success in Canadian country music as Nicole Rayy, she’s shedding her past skin and stepping fully into a darker, more authentic sound. The name change isn’t just cosmetic – it reflects an evolution that’s been building under the surface for years: a shift from country roots into brooding alt-rock, where haunting melodies and gritty guitars elevate the same fearless storytelling she’s always been known for.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Corey Glover from Living Color and Joe Burcaw!
Hartford CT musician Joseph Burcaw finds inspiration everywhere,
even in the headlines we see in the news. His latest project
Bearclaw+The Balance Brigade and their debut EP “Four On The Floor”
was inspired by becoming a first-time father during the pandemic. Stuck
at home when COVID-19 closed everything, he says thinking about the
world his daughter will grow up in made him anxious to spark
conversation and to make change by giving back. He reached out to a
few musician friends and began writing and recording virtually for two
years. His new EP has an R&B/Dance feel that features the soulful voice
of Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover, and a cameo from guitar
shredder goddess Mrs. Smith on the Sylvester disco cover of “You Make
Me Feel (Mighty Real)”. The music delves into subjects from racism,
domestic abuse, immigration freedom to gay rights. This new project's
objective is to tackle and shed light on topical situations that don't always
get mainstream attention. Burcaw, an exceptional bass player whose
friends call him Bearclaw, is a bandleader and educator who has run the
music school Bearclaw’s Academy of Music in the Litchfield hills of
Connecticut for almost eight years, and toured with the NYC-based
Celtic rock band Black 47, for nearly a decade. His new music comes
out late November/early December. He’s also planning a spring 2024
concert w/Glover that will be a fundraiser for underprivileged music
loving kids who need instruments and who cannot afford music lessons.
At the end of the day, it’s about giving back to your community and using
the power of music to unite people. Burcaw and Glover have had an
established working relationship & friendship for years collaborating on
different projects outside of this latest venture.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Mother Mother frontman Ryan Guldemond!
Mother Mother are about to announce a true coast to coast Canadian tour that will bring the band from Victoria, BC all the way to Halifax and Moncton, with stops in Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, London, St. Catharines, Montreal in between. The band have been on a whirlwind tour of the world, from Europe to the United States, and will be heading to Latin America, and Australia soon as well. Their shows have been massively successful, as you can see from the photos here, here and here. It’s easy to see in those photos just how passionate the fans around the world are for Mother Mother . What’s harder to see in photos, but is undeniably true is how young, and diverse the fan base is - it’s even called out in the first comment on that third link. In particular, the LGBTQ community has flocked to the band’s shows around the world. In part, this is because they identify with the band's lyrics and ethos, but also because the band have always celebrated non-conformity, and encouraged people to be true to themselves, whoever they are.
Mother Mother 2025 Tour Dates:
02/18 Victoria, BC - Save On Foods Memorial Centre
02/20 Kelowna, BC - Prospera Place
02/21 Calgary, AB - Scotiabank Saddledome

The Jeremy White Show welcomes David MIller from IL DIVO!
Multi-platinum group IL DIVO, who just released their new “XX: 20TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” which just hit the Billboard charts at #1 in Classical Crossover Albums, #1 in Classical Albums and Top 40 of Current Album Sales. The album is also available as the first-ever vinyl edition of their career, with commemorative and collectable packages of “XX: 20TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” available at www.ildivo.com.
The iconic quartet—Urs Bühler (tenor) of Switzerland, Sébastien Izambard (tenor) of France, David Miller (tenor) of America, and new member Steven LaBrie (baritone) of America—uphold the spirit of their signature sound while expanding its scope on their 10th full-length and very first independent album on Il Divo Music/Thirty Tigers. Produced by Grammy® and Latin Grammy® Award-winning artist Carlos Fernando Lopez (Ricky Martin, Laura Pausini, Marc Anthony), “XX: 20TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” includes songs sung by IL DIVO in English, Spanish and Italian; and an original composition written by the group, “Despertar Sin Ti.” In addition to the IL DIVO spin on Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy,” the album will also include Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” with a Spanish version, “No Tengo Nada,”; Miguel Gallardo’s “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti,”; Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley’s “Always On My Mind,” sung in English and Italian; Ed Sheeran’s smash hit “Perfect”; “Despacito,” the mega-smash by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber, and more.
Since 2004, the Multi-Platinum classical crossover progenitors have emerged as a phenomenon buoyed by displays of vocal prowess, gigs around the world, and an indefinable magic between them. They have sold 30 million-plus units worldwide, scored 50 #1 hits, and earned 160 Gold and Platinum records across 35 countries. Between selling out tours on multiple continents, they’ve performed everywhere from the Summer Olympics and FIFA World Cup to Diamond Jubilee at Windsor and the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball.
Life changed when the guys weathered the tragic passing of original co-founder Carlos Marín due to COVID-19. The remaining bandmates paid homage to their fallen brother with the Greatest Hits Tour in 2022. Steven LaBrie stepped in as a guest baritone on the road only for Urs, Sébastien, and David to welcome him as a full member a year later. Around the same time, they entered a studio in Coconut Grove, FL with producer Carlos Fernando Lopez. This new season represents a series of firsts: their first album with Steven, and also the first for their own label Il Divo Music with the members serving as Executive Producers and Sébastien as Co-Arranger.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Eric Bloom from Blue Oyster Cult!
We talk about some famous concert bills they've been apart of, how Tony Iomi is holding up the release of the infamous concert they did together, losing all their vintage gear during Hurricane Sandy, how GHOST STORIES was recorded and made from vintage analog tapes and so much more! He also tells stories of some bands that weren't neccerasily that nice to them over the years... all of that and more!
After the resounding success of their 50th Anniversary celebration, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is eagerly gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their storied career with the upcoming release of 'Ghost Stories.' This highly anticipated album marks a fitting finale to the recording legacy of one of rock’s most iconic fixtures from the past 50 years.
In a thrilling partnership with Frontiers Music, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is set to captivate fans with a collection of reimagined and newly completed songs that span from 1978-2016. These musical treasures, long considered 'lost gems' by BLUE ÖYSTER CULT enthusiasts, were originally recorded between 1978 and 1983, except for one track from 2016, "If I Fell." Also included is the only known studio recording of their concert classic “Kick Out the Jams” (MC5 cover). Some of the material is from sessions workshopping material for an album, some is from performance rehearsals. All were recorded once in the hopes that someday they'd see the light of day.
George Geranios, the band's original audio engineer and an integral part of the band's golden years, co-produced the original 1978-83 recordings along with BÖC. All were originally recorded on reel-to-reel analog tape. They were later transferred to digital audio, which is when modern AI and magical musical talents met and the collection of vintage multi-track recordings was de-mixed, re-mixed, and produced by Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano to become 'Ghost Stories.
Work in the studio for the album was completed by Richie Castellano along with remaining original members Eric Bloom and Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser, both Albert Bouchard and Rick Downey appear on drums with additional overdubs recorded by Joe Bouchard. All these original lineup members appearing on 'Ghost Stories,' create a musical journey that traverses decades.
To celebrate this exciting announcement, the band shares the single "So Supernatural" along with a new music video that has a super cool blend of classic rock and modern AI.

Dee Snider: He’s Not Gonna Take It will be available at retailers
everywhere on November 21, 2023.
The following journey would forever forge the name Dee Snider alongside the battle for freedom of expression—in the arts and beyond. This new graphic novel charts that one-man war throughout Dee’s life. From a childhood where he was frequently silenced, through the early efforts to stifle his band’s music, to the open warfare of the PMRC hearings in Washington DC, and his current efforts on social media, He’s Not Gonna Take It tells the story of why free speech is so important to this man who has perpetually fought for it—even when it endangered everything that was important to him.
MICKEY will release “A Classic Christmas,” a two-sided single (available digitally only, via Symphonic Distribution) on which he distinctively lights up such holiday gems as “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Pre-save “A Classic Christmas” HERE.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Aysanabee!
In less than a year, Aysanabee has gone from releasing his debut album, the powerful interweaving of generations, memory and storytelling of Watin, to arriving centre stage in his career with prestigious nominations, non-stop touring, and a team committed to raising the new artist’s singular voice and perspective into the mainstream.
From making history as the first Indigenous artist to reach the #1 spot at Canadian Alternative Rock Radio, to performing a deeply moving tribute, standing in front of the portrait of his grandfather and album namesake, at the Polaris Music Prize Gala, Aysanabee has traveled an impressive distance from unsigned artist to internationally touring, award-winning breakout. And so, what comes next?
Here and Now, Aysanabee’s new EP out NOW, gives an emphatic answer as the artist embarks on a different path.
Stream HERE AND NOW, here: https://aysanabee.lnk.to/HereandNowEM
He joins me for the first time to discuss his rise in the music business, growing up not knowing he was Native and why his mother hid his identity from him. We also discuss how some people might see using stories of residential schools and indigenous tragedy as "capitalism" and profiting! PLUS how people claiming to be native could be taking advantage of ingenous music grants and much more!

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Journalist and Author Steve Rosen!
Steve Rosen is a professional music journalist with a career spanning 50 years. During this period, he has published well over 1,000 articles in major periodicals originating from around the globe. Rosen was the West Coast correspondent for Guitar World magazine for four years during the seminal mid-‘80s, when he wrote eight cover stories—including three lead features on Edward Van Halen recognized as pivotal pieces on the legendary guitarist.
As a contributor to Guitar Player magazine, Rosen also wrote a prodigious 16 covers in a six-year span. A recognized authority on the eclectic world of Rock, Rosen has been tapped seven times to write books on several high-profile musicians, including Jeff Beck, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Black Sabbath, Free/Bad Company and Randy Rhoads.
The traveling troubadour’s work has taken him to distant vistas in search of mysterious stories and elusive sagas—hand-selected to accompany numerous bands as a traveling wordsmith for the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Loggins & Messina, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz, Alice Cooper, The Firm, Van Halen, and others.
Recently, Rosen’s main focus has been organizing his incredibly extensive and rare collection of audio interviews dating back to 1973. The entire library represents well over 1,500 hours of content, with hundreds and hundreds of classic rock’s most-engaging, enraging and entrancing characters, including Edward Van Halen. This archival process led to the unearthing of what Rosen called “The Twilight Tapes”—50 interviews representing hours of late-night phone calls with the Van Halen guitarist, who happened to become a very close friend over the years. “The Twilight Tapes” sparked the idea to sit down to write TONECHASER in 2020 and the rest, as they say, is rock and roll history.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Brett Hellings!
Hellings, the new All-Star Supergroup features lead singer Brett Hellings on vocals; Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses), Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires, Warlock, Lady Gaga, Meat Loaf), Buck Johnson (Aerosmith, Hollywood Vampires), Billy Sheehan (David Lee Roth, Mr. Big, Steve Vai), and Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty, Smashing Pumpkins). An endorsement from Alice Cooper on his radio show, “Nights with Alice Cooper,” ultimately led Brett Hellings, a well-traveled singer-songwriter to record with a powerhouse ensemble of the industry’s top session and touring musicians. It was just a 45 second mention on a syndicated radio show, but David Davidian, tour manager for Cooper and The Hollywood Vampires, heard the show, and loved the music so much that he passed it on to some of his musician friends, who embraced the opportunity.
The band just dropped their new single, “A Fool In Love” HERE; which follows their debut power ballad single that was released titled “Kill Me To Keep Loving You” HERE.

The Mitch Lafon and Jeremy White Show welcomes East Bay Ray from Dead Kennedys!
Dead Kennedys’ classic 1980 album Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetableshas been remixedfrom the original multitrack tapes by Chris Lord-Alge (Chaka Khan, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen). The band’s debut album (original release date: September 2, 1980) is politically incendiary while also wholly musically adept – provocative and often idiosyncratic agit prop lyrics bouncing off of careening, adrenaline-infused musicianship. So it’s only natural that the 40th anniversary re-release of this classic album is revisited by the GRAMMY winning mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge. Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables – 2022 Mix will be available September 30, 2022 viaManifesto Records and available for pre-sale here: https://lnk.to/DKFreshFruit2022.

Megadeth's David Ellefson, Jeff Scott Soto and Sword's Rick Hughes tell road stories (from March 2021)
PLUS -- For Immediate Release March 23, 2021 Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and Sons of Apollo vocalist Jeff Scott Soto have been collaborating on some new material recently under the moniker ELLEFSON-SOTO. The Ellefson-Soto version of the Riot classic “Swords & Tequila” released via Ellefson’s Combat Records on www.ellefsonmusic.bandcamp.com and across all digital streaming outlets.The song was originally featured on the 1981 Riot LP Fire Down Under (Elektra). The play through video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/gSDqHiQk0QY The track was produced by David Ellefson & Andy Martongelli, mixed by Alessio Garavello in Wembley, England and mastered by Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, CA. The video is directed by Elia Turra for Fisheye Studio in Verona, Italy. The ELLEFSON-SOTO recording lineup includes: David Ellefson- Bass Jeff Scott Soto- Lead Vocals Andy Martongelli- Lead & Rhythm Guitars Paolo Caridi- Drums *Featuring Rick Hughes- Lead Vocals (Swords & Tequila) Says Ellefson, “Jeff and I have been friends for so many years that it’s great to finally collaborate on some material together. He has such a distinctive voice and perfect style for some new ideas my guitarist Andy Martongelli (Ellefson) and I have been composing. We are excited about the progress of it all and thought this would be a perfect time to give a little sneak preview. “ Jeff adds, “As COVID-19 became a big negative around the globe, it actually offered many artists a chance to finally collaborate with one another that might have never happened otherwise…as I have known David for many years, I knew from our other efforts outside of our day jobs that we could come up with some badass jams…and here we are, letting you in on our cool little secret!”. As for the choice of cover song Ellefson reminisced, “The first time I ever heard of Riot was on the Castle Donington Monters of Rock album from 1980. For me, they were the USA representatives during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. And, “Swords & Tequila”, along with the entire Fire Down Under album for that matter, show the band delivering it’s rowdy and high energy rock n roll like no other band in the USA was doing at that time. So, it is an honor to offer them much deserved reverence, as well as a reminiscent tribute to the mighty Guy Speranza, who fronted the band like a god during that period. Soto adds, “What can I say? This was a classic metal track from Riot that we all knew growing up, when David brought up that we should cover it I was thrilled. But when we added Rick Hughes from the band Sword onto it, it truly came to life! 40 years after its release, we hope you dig this new version we built for you!” Vocalist Rick Hughes is the founding front man of the iconic Quebec Power Metal group SWORD. The Canadian quartet formed in 1981 and have released a string of metal classics including their eponymous 1984 Aquarias Records debut Metalized which has been esteemed by fans and musicians alike including the likes of Metallica, Megadeth, Motorhead and many more. Hughes explains, “To me, music has always been the best medicine and that is why in this time of not being able to perform with live musicians in front of a live audience, I was more than happy to participate in this camaraderie of seasoned musicians.” Sword’s latest album In Kommand is now available via Combat Records. More new tracks from Ellefson-Soto are in the works with release details to be announced. Riot formed in New York City in 1975 and has produced a long list of classic hard rock albums for Victor Entertainment, Capitol & Elektra Records as well as re-issues by Metal Blade Records. Guy Speranza was a founding member and vocalist for the group and sang on the early albums Rock City (1977), Narita (1979) and Fire Down Under (1981). He was then succeeded by Rhett Forrester in 1982. Speranza passed away in 2003 from pancreatic cancer at the age of 47. Riot has since undergone several member and lineup changes but still remains active under the new name of RIOT V.

Mitch Lafon and Jeremy White talk to DIRTY HONEY. The band details their new debut album and much more.
DIRTY HONEY ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM LOS ANGELES, CA - Friday, March 5, 2021 -- – After a string of chart hits and live triumphs, one of rock music's most exciting new bands, DIRTY HONEY, is keeping the momentum going with the April 23, 2021 release of their self-titled debut full-length. The Los Angeles quartet is also releasing a new single, "California Dreamin'," with a video that premiered this morning via Rolling Stone. Check out the single and pre-order the album HERE. A bold opener with towering chorus hooks and slipshod grooves, "California Dreamin'" features smoking guitar solos bookended by massive riffs and hooks. Lyrically, the single puts a different spin on the idea of California as the promised land: vocalist/lyricist Marc LaBelle drew on the tough times he faced after moving west in the early 2010s to craft a bittersweet cautionary tale that hints at personal and emotional turbulence. “Lots of people come out to California, chasing a dream, and sometimes, people just don’t make it,” said LaBelle. “California isn’t always the ‘land of milk and honey,’ dreams don’t always come true here, and that’s the perspective this song and video take. The video is a dream through California that showcases the good, the bad and the ugly." Dirty Honey - LaBelle, guitarist John Notto, bassist Justin Smolian, and drummer Corey Coverstone - planned to record the album with producer Nick DiDia (Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam), who had produced the band's 2019 EP; but the day before the band was due to fly to Australia to track the album, Los Angeles entered lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic and traveling was off the table. Still keen to work with DiDia, they came up with a Plan B: record the full-length at Henson Studios in Los Angeles studio with DiDia beamed into the proceedings via the magic of modern technology. Having to switch gears delayed the start of recording slightly, although this extra time ended up being a boon. Dirty Honey rented a rehearsal space and demoed the album's songs in advance, meaning the tracks were in good shape when DiDia came onboard. "If we had gone when we were supposed to in March, we wouldn't have had as many songs," Smolian says. "We did a lot of rehearsing and got tighter as a band. Except for Marc's lyrics, everything was pretty much written by the time we got into the studio, there really wasn't a lot of, 'Let's try this, let's try that.' It was more about capturing takes." Adds drummer Corey Coverstone: "Because of the pandemic, we had a lot more time to write and prepare, which was great. It meant that we were able to workshop the songs a lot more, and I think it really made a difference." The Dirty Honey album does sound effortless and captures the lightning-in-a-bottle dynamics and energy of the band's live sound. The collection boasts airtight songwriting that plays up their strengths: sexy, bluesy, nasty rock 'n' roll. LaBelle reaffirms his status as one of contemporary rock's best vocalists on "The Wire," while the gospel-tinted "Another Last Time" is a midtempo, organ-fueled album-closer bursting with soul. Although the pandemic has thrown some obstacles in the way, Dirty Honey knows that pushing through those tough times will only help them come out stronger on the other side. "When you finally come through on those moments, that's where the real magic comes in," Notto says. "What makes all of our songs fun to play and listen to is we don't allow ourselves to stop short of getting the best possible results out of each one of them." In fact, if anything, all of the four band members are determined to better themselves going forward. "As a guitarist, I'm always inspired by the everlasting pursuit of the perfect riff," Notto adds. "I also wanted to extend the artistic statement that we've already made. We weren't looking to sound different, or prove our growth, necessarily. It was more about, 'Oh, you thought that was good? Hold my beer.'"

Author Jeff Blue discusses his book - One Step Closer From Xero to #1: Becoming Linkin Park. Plus, we discuss what happened to the DJ Ashba led band, Beautiful Creatures.
ABOUT THE BOOK - The dramatic story of the unlikely partnership that led to Hybrid Theory, the biggest-selling debut album of the 21st Century. From the unique perspective of the executive who discovered them, One Step Closer reveals how Brad Delson’s college internship was a catalyst for a group of young musical visionaries, led by Mike Shinoda, which gave rise to a band that survived countless rejections, exceeded everyone’s expectations but their own, and became the voice of a generation. This against-all-odds story chronicles the early days of Linkin Park, from their first demo and Whisky a Go Go performance as Xero, through their tireless efforts to perfect their iconic sound and the discovery of Chester Bennington. Jeff Blue was there when no one else believed—first as their publisher, then as their A&R guy. This is his memoir of that incredible journey. Riveting and inspiring, One Step Closer is a testament to perseverance, as well as a detailed behind-the-scenes account of the building of a dream and what it takes to make it.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents The Fratellis' Jon Fratellis.
Double-Platinum-selling rock trio, THE FRATELLIS The group just announced that their brand new album, HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON, will be released on April 9, and lead singer/songwriter/guitarist, Jon Fratelli, is available for interviews from the UK via phone or zoom. Check out the private link to their album HERE. The Scottish group, known for their Double-Platinum selling album, COSTELLO MUSIC, and their worldwide hit single, “Chelsea Dagger,” recently dropped their newest single and video titled “Action Replay,” featuring the their signature melodic sound and emotional lyrics. “Action Replay” is the follow up to their previously released singles "Six Days In June" and "Strangers In The Street" (feat. P.P. Arnold). HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON is the band’s sixth album, full of melodic surprises, from its flamboyant title track and lush songs steeped in brass and strings, to twists on the stomping sing-alongs with which the trio first found fame. Recorded in Los Angeles, California, with producer and long-time collaborator Tony Hoffer (Beck, Fitz and the Tantrums, Elle King), The Fratellis geared up for the release of HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON in 2020 – to follow their 2018 Top 5 album IN YOUR OWN SWEET TIME -- when the pandemic put a pause on their plans. “Six Days in June” hit the airwaves, revealing the trio’s new direction, just weeks before the world shut down. “We had a whole year’s worth of work that didn’t happen...” says Jon. “As a band who has a loyal audience we know we’re in a fortunate position.” image002HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON pairs the hooks and hallmarks of The Fratellis of old with the spirit of adventure they discovered on IN YOUR OWN SWEET TIME sent into overdrive. “These are by far the most colourful songs I’ve ever written,” says Jon. “Lots of musicians claim to have that condition where you hear music in colours. I don’t, but I definitely associate certain types of melody with different colours and these ones were multi-coloured.” Tracklist for HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON includes: 1. Half Drunk Under a Full Moon 2. Need a Little Love 3. Lay Your Body Down 4. The Last Songbird 5. Strangers In The Street 6. Living In The Dark 7. Action Replay 8. Six Days In June 9. Oh Roxy 10. Hello Stranger Success came quickly to The Fratellis, who formed in Glasgow in 2005 and comprised of Jon Fratelli with bassist/backing vocalist Barry Fratelli, and drummer/backing vocalist Mince Fratelli. Arriving a year later, their debut album, COSTELLO MUSIC not only went Double-Platinum, but led to The Fratellis winning the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2007. A successful second album, HERE WE STAND, followed in 2008, but this whirlwind of success came at a cost, and by the end of the decade the trio was forced into indefinite hiatus, burned out from their relentless life on the road. Since reforming in 2012, The Fratellis have been on a continuous upward trajectory, finding themselves enjoying a more sustainable type of success. They have steadily regained their live following thanks to a new generation of Fratellis fans, not just in Britain, but all over the world. HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON finds the trio entering their third decade at ease with who they are and where they are: a band who has not only survived, but thrived, and are currently making the best, most confident, and most ambitious music of their career.

Rock Talk With Mitch lafon and Alan Niven presents original member of The Byrds, Chris Hillman (Recorded March 3rd 2021)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 4, 2021 CHRIS HILLMAN’S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MEMOIR, TIME BETWEEN: MY LIFE AS A BYRD, BURRITO BROTHER AND BEYOND LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Chris Hillman is arguably the primary architect of what’s come to be known as country rock. After playing the Southern California folk and bluegrass circuit, he joined Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke as an original member of The Byrds. He went on to partner with Gram Parsons to launch The Flying Burrito Brothers, recording a handful of albums that have become touchstones of the Americana genre. Hillman then embarked on a prolific recording career as a member of Stephen Stills’ Manassas, as a solo artist, and as a member of several groups that he insists sound more like law firms than bands: Souther-Hillman-Furay with acclaimed songwriter J.D. Souther and former Buffalo Springfield and Poco member Richie Furay; McGuinn, Clark & Hillman with two of his fellow former Byrds; and Rice, Rice, Hillman & Pedersen with legendary bluegrass musicians Tony Rice, Larry Rice, and longtime collaborator and duo partner Herb Pedersen. As a songwriter, he appeared on the Billboard singles charts in four consecutive decades, and his songs have been recorded by a diverse range of artists, from Steve Earle to Patti Smith to Roy Rogers. In the 1980s, Hillman launched a successful mainstream country group when he formed The Desert Rose Band with Pedersen and John Jorgenson, scoring eight Billboard Top 10 country hits. In the midst of his country success he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame along with the other original members of the Byrds. He has since released a number of solo efforts, including 2017’s highly-acclaimed Bidin’ My Time, which was the final album produced by Tom Petty with executive producer Pedersen. Hillman’s memoir, Time Between: My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother and Beyond, first published November 17, 2020 by BMG Books, has gone into its second printing and will be available at retail on February 23, 2021. Hillman remains active on the interview circuit. On March 3 he will be featured at Far West Folk Alliance’s virtual conference, “Best of the West & Beyond,” interviewed by journalist Randy Lewis. He will appear on the Signature Sounds Interview series on March 7. Four tours have been postponed due to the pandemic: The East Coast shows will move to spring of 2022. Midwest dates will move to September, Florida shows to October and Texas shows to November of this year. In the memoir, Hillman takes readers behind the curtain of his quintessentially Southern Californian experience. Raised in San Diego County’s then-rural Rancho Santa Fe, Chris grew up in an idyllic 1950s environment that was filled with TV cowboys, horseback riding, exploring the outdoors, surfing, discovering girls, and falling in love with music. When his older sister came home from college with a stack of records by folk artists such as Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly, Chris was hooked. He soon fell in love with the bluegrass music of Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and The Stanley Brothers, spending hours mastering the guitar and mandolin. Once the Beatles invaded America, the various aspects of Hillman’s musical DNA came together that would eventually lead to him become a pioneering founding father of country-rock. According to Hillman, "I never anticipated such an incredible response to my book, Time Between, and to already be in the second printing is just phenomenal. I'm grateful to the many people who have embraced it." “BMG has been so pleased with the reaction to Chris’s book,” adds Scott B. Bomar, Publisher and Senior Director of the company’s growing Books department. “We knew it was great, which is why we signed it, but even we were surprised by how swiftly we needed another printing. Nearly the entire first print run was accounted for by the time it hit the market, and we had to scramble to get another print run initiated during the busy holiday season. That’s a good problem to have. The critics and, more importantly, the fans have really resonated with Chris’s direct and honest style. We’re thrilled to be a part of helping him tell his story.”

"Don't You Know What Love Is" was played heavily on AOR stations in the USA at the end of the 1970s and early '80's, and also did well in the Melody Maker chart in Great Britain. Touch was the first band to play at the inaugural Monsters of Rock Festival at Castle Donington in 1980.

RONNIE ATKINS One Shot - STREAMING Frontiers Music s.r.l. RELEASE DATE: March 12, 2021 Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of Danish vocalist Ronnie Atkins to a solo deal. The acclaimed Pretty Maids and Nordic Union vocalist will release his new solo album, "One Shot," on March 12, 2021. "To be honest, I initially had no intention to do a solo album to begin with, but for various reasons and in particularly my own personal health situation I finally decided to have a crack at it," says Atkins. "Around Easter 2020 and only some six weeks after I was told that everything seemingly looked very positive for my health, I was unfortunately diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and told it was incurable, which was devastating news for me. Needless to say, that was a total game changer and I went into kind of a panic situation for a while! But when the dust had settled. I realised there were two ways to approach the situation. I could sit down, accept the facts, and feel pity for myself or I could pull myself up, set some goals, pursue my dreams, and carry on living! And with fantastic back up from my family and true friends, I went for the latter!" continues Atkins.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents David Cousins of the Strawbs (recorded March 2nd 2021) Dave discusses the band's new album Settlement, classic album Grave New World, working with the Wakeman family (Rick, Adam and Olivier), producer Chris Tsangarides and the story of how he ended up on Def Leppard's On Through The Night album.
For Immediate Release STRAWBS Release New Studio Album “Settlement” Released February 26, 2021 Esoteric Antenna is delighted to announce the release of the new studio album by the legendary band STRAWBS. “Settlement” is the latest album recorded by STRAWBS, more than 50 years on from the band’s first major label release. The album comes at a time of political and social upheaval, which the lyrics and melodies of the songs reflect. Undeterred by the fact that ‘business as usual’ was not possible because of the global COVID-19 pandemic – working remote from one another, from their own home studios – “Settlement” is a remarkable achievement. David Cousins, leader of STRAWBS says: “‘Settlement’ is something extraordinary. I can’t think of another band who can go from metal grunge to the lilt of an Irish ghost story – or from a song in 6/8 time to singing in 4/4 over a 5/4 backbeat – in half an hour. The lyrics reflect the times we have been living through and I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved.” “Settlement” is produced by Blue Weaver who played with STRAWBS and Bee Gees in their 1970s heydays. The recording was coordinated from Blue’s studio in Germany, where he now lives. STRAWBS are David Cousins, Dave Lambert, Chas Cronk, Tony Fernandez and Dave Bainbridge. Special guests on the album are John Ford, another former member of STRAWBS, who lives in New York, Cathryn Craig, with her lovely voice and unmistakable Southern lilt, who lives in Northern Ireland, and bass player Schalk Joubert, with whom David Cousins performed in South Africa at the beginning of the year. The album will be available both on CD and 180 gram vinyl formats. “There comes a time when every Settlement is due!” Track Listing: 1. SETTLEMENT 2. STRANGE TIMES 3. JUDGEMENT DAY 4. EACH MANNER OF MAN 5. THE VISIT 6. FLYING FREE 7. QUICKSILVER DAYS 8. WE ARE EVERYONE 9. CHORALE 10. CHAMPION JACK 11. BETTER DAYS (LIFE IS NOT A GAME) 12. LIBERTY

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents an interview with Long Live Rock… Celebrate the Chaos producer by Gary Spivack (recorded March 3rd 2021)
“Long Live Rock… Celebrate the Chaos” is a deep dive into the culture of hard rock music. This genre, beloved by its millions of fans, is often misunderstood and maligned by media and the music industry. In intimate interviews, the leading titans of rock discuss the genre and the special relationship they have with their audience. Featuring members of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slipknot, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Rage Against the Machine, Greta Van Fleet, Halestorm, and many, many more. The film also explores the inescapable dark side of their chosen lifestyle, chronicling the unspoken truths that are unfortunately too commonplace in the rock ‘n roll world for both artists and fans, such as substance abuse and depression. Viewers will get a front row seat of what makes hard rock fans want to crowd surf, mix it up in the mosh pit or just throw all caution to the wind by participating in the ultimate community mayhem of the “Wall of Death.” We follow some of these passionate fans as they drop everything to “commune" with their “rock family” at music festivals across the U.S. - or wherever the road takes them to celebrate the chaos…that is rock ‘n roll.

PRESS RELEASE: Live in Bulgaria 2020 – Pandemic Survival Show AFM Records 19 March 2021 There are certain events that put bands into the spotlight, even experienced musicians who have been in the business for over 40 years. This is one of those events, and happened on September 18, 2020 with U.D.O. U.D.O., the band featuring German rock icon Udo Dirkschneider (the original voice of Accept who had rock hits like ‘Balls To Wall’, ‘Metal Heart’ and many more) played a concert in the stunning Roman Amphitheatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in front of 2500 fans - in the middle of a year that is one of the quietest ever for musicians and bands, both at home and internationally. The show, which happened in full compliance with the corona virus hygiene regimen, is by far one of the largest to happen worldwide during the current pandemic. It not only gives you goose bumps from start to finish but, in these trying times, is a truly historic music event. The concert will be released on a live DVD on March 19, 2021 - and is already one of the most extraordinary music releases ever. The mood and emotions captured on the live DVD can barely be put into words. It is the only concert that U.D.O. played in 2020 and is an impressive example of what, with a huge amount of effort and planning, can actually be done during the pandemic. For decades, U.D.O. was renown for playing up to 200 shows worldwide every year but in 2020, they too have been brought to a standstill. Up until a few days before the concert in Plovdiv, it was not clear whether it could take place at all. Could the necessary hygiene regime be implemented? Could the band, whose musicians live in four different countries, even enter Germany? What would it be like, after more than nine months since the musicians had seen each other (by far the longest time since the band's existence) to be back on stage together? "It felt more than strange not seeing my fellow musicians for so long and not playing with them," describes Udo Dirkschneider.“Normal is exactly the largest part of my life. It was suddenly switched off. The interpersonal relationships, sitting together, everything that you share with your colleagues away from the stage, suddenly disappeared." When, after all the trials and tribulations in Plovdiv, the band finally takes the stage, a never-ending wave of euphoria from the audience swells towards them, leading everything to feel a little unreal. “We just felt goose bumps,” describes Udo. “You could tell by the people that they could hardly believe they were finally going to see a concert again. The mood that emanated from each one of them and us gave us all an incredible boost. None of us have ever experienced anything like this before. " It is an evening that lets everyone, even just for a few hours, feel what only music can convey: to feel that they belong together and to let themselves be carried away from everyday life and its worries. An evening on which, especially in 2020, will become clear the importance that music and culture fulfills, and the indescribable void it leaves behind when it’s not there. The setlist this evening is also unique. In addition to the tour set of the Steelfactory’ shows, there are a number of songs that have rarely been played live, and because the situation is extra special, U.D.O. delighted the audience with some Accept hits on top of that. Truly an evening to remember.

Motor City Riders 3:54 LP Bonustracks: 13. Can I Be Your Girl 3:34 14. Desperado 3:37 Info / Bio (English): It’s got to be a very special release that has Suzi Quatro announce proudly: “The Devil In Me is the best album in my career to date!” After all, the American rock vocalist would hardly utter such superlatives lightly. Suzi’s enthusiasm for her latest offering has many reasons, twelve of them to be precise. Because The Devil In Me consists of exactly a dozen songs, each of them – from the opening track and title song to the final ‘Motor City Riders’ – a real highlight. The reasons for Suzi’s remarkable creative explosion: on the one hand the lockdown, which kept her from her usual touring life in spring 2020, and on the other another collaboration with her son Richard Tuckey, which had already worked out extremely well on her predecessor album No Control. Suzi: “Starting spring 2020, almost one hundred of my shows were cancelled and Richard would also have been on tour with his band had not all concerts been cancelled or postponed. So I said to him: ‘We should make the most of our free time, write new material and allow ourselves to be inspired by the things that are currently going on in the world.’ I already knew that Richard and I make a brilliant team, after all No Control had been a major success and a very special recording for us. Although I would never have thought that we’d be able to surpass it. But everybody who’s heard The Devil In Me and all the people who had worked on the previous album have told us: ‘This album is even stronger!’” Suzi Quatro, now in her 57th year of writing and performing, certainly knows what she’s talking about. Since the beginning of her career as a 14-year-old singer and bassist she has achieved almost everything a musician could possibly hope to achieve. Her charismatic voice, her powerful bass style and global hits such as ‘Can The Can’, ‘48 Crash’, ‘Devil Gate Drive’, ‘If You Cant Give Me Love’, ‘Shes In Love With You’ and ‘Stumblin In’ made her a rock music icon in the 1970s. To this day, her motto is: “I won’t retire before I turn around, shake my ass and there’s silence.” That this moment is still a long way in the distant future is partly due to The Devil In Me. “I have to confess that I could hardly wait to work on new material again with Richard after the release of No Control,” Suzi explains. “Every album has its own creative history and I know that it’s impossible to plan success. But Richard and I were certain of one thing: We knew we’d be a good team again.” And every single note on The Devil In Me proves just how good this team is. The album presents Suzi’s full range of musical diversity plus a number of surprises. From rock tracks such as ‘The Devil In Me’, ‘Get Outta Jail’, ‘Motorcity Riders’ and ‘Hey Queenie’ (“these four songs are typical of me and continue the tradition of my 1973 debut album”) to fairly unusual numbers such as the pub atmosphere-inspired ‘Isolation Blues’ with its intimate mood or ‘In The Dark’ which is accompanied by elegant piano and provocative saxophone sounds, Suzi presents herself from a whole range of different aspects. “Richard wanted this album to have a through line, so that you could put any track on, and it just fit… he also said he wanted this album to be as important and ground breaking as my first one. So that is how we approached this project, and that is what we accomplished.” ‘My Heart And Soul’ shows just how creative Suzi and Richard could be – it’s without a doubt one of the most beautiful Christmas songs of recent years. Says Suzi: “I have a little studio at my house. Richard was in the studio working on ideas, I was sitting on the patio, relaxing, and heard this absolutely beautiful track coming out of the open studio door. It was a bass line, with a sparse guitar chord, and drums. It was immediate for me. I ran into the studio, mask on of course, it was like a magnet. I asked him: ‘What is this?’ I told him to set up a microphone, I said: ‘Quick, quick, quick!’ And without thinking, without writing anything down, I sang the first for lines of the song exactly as they ended up. That`s when you know you have a great song ... and we do!” And so the lead single ‘My Heart And Soul’ (scheduled for release on 4 December 2020) hails an album that – you can’t help but agree with Suzi – probably really has turned into the best of her career so far.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents fantastic hard rock band, The Treatment.
Guitarist Tagore Grey discusses the band's new album as well as touring with KISS & Mötley Crüe and much more. Check out The Treatment's waiting For Good Luck out April 9th 2021.
PRESS RELEASE -
THE TREATMENT Waiting For Good Luck - STREAMING Frontiers Music s.r.l. 9 April 2021 RELEASE DATE: April 9, 2021 “Waiting For Good Luck” is the fifth full-length album from British hard rockers The Treatment. Showcasing an intense sonic power only hinted at thus far, The Treatment is truly firing on all cylinders now. A first listen will instantly reveal hulking riffs and memorable choruses and further listens reveal more and more as the listener delves into this love letter to hard rock. “Waiting for Good Luck” truly is a classic album in the making. Produced by UK rock maestro Laurie Mansworth (Airrace) and mixed by Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Black Country Communion, etc.), “Waiting for Good Luck” is The Treatment’s second album featuring Tom Rampton on vocals and the first one with the new bass player Andy Milburn. Rampton's raspy, whisky-soaked vocal style suits the band's driving, hard rock style perfectly and the results of him having toured with and gelled further with the band can really be heard distinctly here. A magnificent slice of groove-laden, fist-pumping, unapologetic rock 'n roll anthems, which showcase a band hungry for more and showing no signs of slowing down, "Waiting For Good Luck" is the most realized offering yet from The Treatment. “We honestly all believe this album is a huge step forward for The Treatment and we can't wait for you to hear it. We will be touring as soon as circumstances will allow us and we look forward to seeing all you Treatment troops at our shows next year,” says the band. The Treatment formed in 2008 in Cambridge, England. Their debut album, "This Might Hurt" was released in 2011 and followed by "Running With The Dogs" (2014), "Generation Me" (2016), and "Power Crazy" (2019). The band has toured with KISS, Mötley Crüe, Steel Panther, Thin Lizzy, and Alice Cooper, just to name a few, as well as appearing at massive rock festivals like Download and Sonisphere.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon and The Jeremy White Podcast presents the legendary DAVID COVERDALE (March 2021 interview).
We discuss all things Whitesnake including the great new The Blues album. Plus, David schools Jeremy.
PRESS RELEASE -- WHITESNAKE’S THE BLUES ALBUM The 14 Song Collection Completes The Red, White And Blues Trilogy With Remixed And Remastered Versions Of The Band’s Best Blues-Rock Tracks Whitesnake celebrates the blues sound that helped inspire its multi-platinum career on a new collection that features remixed and remastered versions of the group’s best blues-rock songs. THE BLUES ALBUM is the third and final release in the band’s Red, White and Blues Trilogy, a series of compilations organized by musical themes that began this year with Love Songs (red) and The Rock Album (white). Like The Rock Album and Love Songs, all the tracks on THE BLUES ALBUM have been revisited, remixed, and remastered. Whitesnake’s singer-songwriter David Coverdale says, the music reflects how blues artists like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and the three Kings (Albert, B.B. and Freddie) continue to inspire him. In the album’s liner notes, he writes: “It’s hard to find the words to show how profoundly they connected with my soul. But ‘blues’ to me is a beautiful word that describes emotional expression… feelings, be it feelings of sadness, loneliness, emptiness… but, also those that express great joy, celebration and dance, sexiness and Love!!!” The new compilation delivers a potent mix of hits and deep tracks that originally appeared between 1984 and 2011 on six Whitesnake studio albums and Coverdale’s solo album, Into the Light. THE BLUES ALBUM showcases two of the band’s biggest songs: “Slow An’ Easy,” a Top 20 Mainstream Rock hit in 1984 from Whitesnake’s double-platinum album Slide It In, and the smash “Give Me All Your Love” from the band’s 1987 self-titled album, which was certified 8x platinum. Other choice tracks from Whitesnake are also featured: “Looking For Love” and “Crying In The Rain,” and “Steal Your Heart Away,” which is available now. Restless Heart (1997), Good to Be Bad (2008), and Forevermore (2011) are all represented on THE BLUES ALBUM by multiple tracks (“Too Many Tears,” “A Fool In Love” and “Steal Your Heart Away”). The collection also includes “If You Want Me,” a studio recording released in 2006 as a bonus track on the live album, Live…in the Shadows of the Blues. Coverdale also taps his 2000 solo album, Into the Light, for “River Song.” THE BLUES ALBUM CD Track Listing: 1. “Steal Your Heart Away” 2. “Good To Be Bad” 3. “Give Me All Your Love” 4. “Take Me Back Again” 5. “Slow An’ Easy” 6. “Too Many Tears” 7. “Lay Down Your Love” 8. “The River Song” 9. “Whipping Boy Blues” 10. “If You Want Me” 11. “A Fool In Love” 12. “Woman Trouble Blues” 13. “Looking For Love” 14. “Crying In The Rain”

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents Fozzy frontman and GOAT wrestler, Chris Jericho.
We discuss his new documentary called “I’m Too Old For This Shit – A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale,” as well as Fozzy, what comes after wrestling, Kuarantine and much more.
Heavy metal band Siren are living, breathing proof that dreams can and do come true at any age! And now there’s a documentary called “I’m Too Old For This Shit – A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale,” produced by Chris Jericho, that chronicles their unlikely 30-year journey from early-80s struggling band in Brandon, Florida to playing the Keep It True Festival in Germany in 2018. Original drummer Ed Aborn, singer Doug Lee, and new guitarist Todd Grubbs, explain how what it took to put the band back together, rehearse, and play the show of a lifetime. Ed and Doug remember Siren’s early days and releases, what broke them up in 1984, and the fan base they never knew they had. Plus, they describe what it was it was like filming the documentary, and seeing the finished film for the first time! It’s a heartwarming, feel good story to offer a bit of hope and inspiration to this horrible year.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents singer Nick Reese of Joyous Wolf (mercifully not of 'Global Death' or 'Intense Resentment' - we'll explain that later in the chat)
Press release: Joyous Wolf is an American Rock Band formed in Orange County, California, in 2014. With humble beginnings, playing any venue that would have them, Joyous Wolf - Nick Reese (vocals), Blake Allard (guitar), Greg Braccio (bass), Robert Sodaro (drums) - have created their own hybrid of hard driving rock & roll, soul, blues, and alternative music. Heavily influenced by artists spanning not only various genres, but literally decades of music, their electric live performances would take them from the clubs of the Sunset Strip to international tours, earning them a recording deal with Roadrunner Records in 2018. The quartet has shown to be a force both on and off stage, having released their critically acclaimed debut EP “Place In Time” on Roadrunner in 2019, which led to subsequent tours supporting rock icons such as Slash, and Deep Purple. Their new, highly anticipated single, “Odyssey”, was released on June 19th on Roadrunner.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents TEN YEARS AFTER - Ric Lee. We discuss the band's upcoming deluxe reissue, the band's storied career, working with Alvin Lee, the greatest venues to play, his memoir 'From Headstocks To Woodstock' and much more.
PRESS RELEASE:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TEN YEARS AFTER TO RELEASE “A STING IN THE TALE” (DELUXE EDITION) THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT. THIS RELEASE COMES WITH 4 LIVE BONUS TRACKS INCLUDING THEIR HIT SONG “I’D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD”. Ten Years After are best known for their Platinum selling album “A Space in Time” which featured the Top 40 hit "I'd Love to Change the World", and their prodigious performance appearance at the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, August 1969. Their rendition of "I'm Going Home" was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album and catapulted them to star status. Original members Ric Lee and Chick Churchill have continued this legacy and are now rounded out by Guitarist/Vocalist Marcus Bonfanti and Bass Icon Colin Hodgkinson. “A Sting in the Tale” was engineered and produced by Bonfanti at his ‘Cricklewood Green’ Studios in Cricklewood, North London and mixed by acclaimed Canadian mix engineer Doug Organ in Edmonton Canada. The 4 bonus live tracks, including “I’d Love To Change The World” were recorded during a subsequent tour in Erfurt, Germany. As Drummer Ric Lee states, “The creative process of the studio album was a joy. Writing and recording together, being able to construct songs that reflect the personalities, memories and experiences of each of the members was extremely satisfying. We’re very happy that Deko suggested adding four ‘live’ bonus tracks to make this the DeLuxe Edition. The title “A Sting In The Tale” reflects the same sentiment Ric & Chick wished to convey in the 2015 live album “The Name Remains The Same”. Through the new lineup the music continues to evolve and grow fifty years on. The sound of the band will always be heavily rooted in the way they paved the way during the late sixties and early seventies and will never forget its incredible heritage. This new record is the ‘Sting’ in the continuing Tale of Ten Years After. Deko Entertainment Bruce Pucciarello on Ten Years After joining the Deko family, “Their story is legend and working with these guys at DEKO has been a privilege. The album, classic organic contemporary, forward, it just rocks. You put it on…you can’t just listen once.” The subject material on the album ranges from childhood memories of growing up in post war Britain, songs of love lost to the rock n roll lifestyle as well as sincere odes to a life well lived. They pay homage to the steam train drivers of the past and guitar heroes of the future as well as other interesting characters the band have encountered since they embarked on this journey over fifty years ago.

Rock talk With Mitch Lafon presents The Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen
We discuss the band's latest album DEATH BY ROCK AND ROLL, the creative process, song writing, healing, classic rock artists, and much more.
PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DEATH BY ROCK AND ROLL THE PRETTY RECKLESS have released their highly anticipated fourth album Death By Rock And Roll via Century Media in Canada and Fearless Records Worldwide. The 12-track album follows 2010's Light Me Up, 2014's Going To Hell, and 2016's Who You Selling For. The album's debut single and title track rocketed to No. 1 on the radio charts and held strong for several weeks. It marked the fifth No. 1 single of the band's career and was heralded by Paper, Loudwire, CNN, Forbes, and more. The band also has the incredible and impressive distinction of being the first female-fronted band to have back-to-back No. 1 singles at the active rock format and the first female-fronted act to have five No. 1 singles on the Billboard chart. Leading into the album release, The Pretty Reckless released stunning music videos for standout tracks "And So It Went" and "25." The accompanying visual for "And So It Went" — a timely anthem featuring Tom Morello — personifies angst and unrest. The hauntingly glamorous visual for "25" has already garnered over 4 million views. DEATH BY ROCK AND ROLL TRACK LISTING: "Death By Rock And Roll" "Only Love Can Save Me Now" "And So It Went" "25" "My Bones" "Got So High" "Broomsticks" "Witches Burn" "Standing At The Wall" "Turning Gold" "Rock And Roll Heaven" "Harley Darling" ABOUT THE PRETTY RECKLESS: The Pretty Reckless formed in New York City during 2008, and the musicians and late producer Kato Khandwala initially made waves with their 2010 debut Light Me Up. After countless gigs, the band returned with Going To Hell in 2014. Not only did the record crash the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200, but it also ignited three #1 hits — the Platinum-certified "Heaven Knows" (the biggest rock song of 2014), "Fucked Up World," and "Follow Me Down" — a feat that had not been accomplished by a female-fronted group since The Pretenders in 1984. Meanwhile, their third offering, Who You Selling For, saw them return to #1 on the Mainstream Rock Songs Chart with "Take Me Down," which cemented them as "the first band to send its first four singles to #1 on the chart," according to Billboard. Praise followed from Vogue, Nylon, and more as the quartet lit up television shows such as Letterman and Conan. With over half-a-billion streams, they headlined countless sold out shows and toured with Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden, and many other heavy hitters. The title track of their fourth album Death By Rock And Roll hit No. 1 on the rock charts and stayed there for multiple weeks. It marked the fifth No. 1 single of the band's career. The Pretty Reckless are also the first female-fronted band to have back-to-back No. 1 singles at the active rock format. They are also the first female-fronted act to have five No. 1 singles on the Billboard chart.

Press Release - SWEET OBLIVION FEATURING GEOFF TATE ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM "RELENTLESS" DUE APRIL 9, 2021 ON FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL FIRST SINGLE, 'STRONG PRESSURE' OUT TODAY Frontiers Music Srl is thrilled to announce the return of Sweet Oblivion, the musical project centered around revered vocalist Geoff Tate. The new album, "Relentless" is produced by Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere, Archon Angel, Timo Tolkii's Avalon) and will be released on April 9, 2021. Today, fans can get their first taste of the album with the release of the single 'Strong Pressure'. Listen HERE: https://youtu.be/Eax-jFaAkoA Pre-order/save "Relentless" on CD, Limited Edition Green Vinyl, and/or Digital formats HERE: https://orcd.co/sweetoblivion "Relentless" is the hotly anticipated sophomore album from the new metal project Sweet Oblivion, which showcases former Queensrÿche vocalist Geoff Tate. Conceived, overseen, and A&R'ed by Serafino Perugino, President and A&R director of Frontiers Records, the project sees Tate returning to a musical style he is revered for. The self-titled debut album caused quite a stir in the international hard rock and metal scene since it brought Tate back to a musical landscape akin to the sound of the stone cold classic metal albums he released with Queensrÿche during the ‘80s. But what made the album work so well was that instead of being a simple throwback, other different musical influences were thrown into the mix, allowing fans to hear Tate in a simultaneously familiar and new musical setting. While the production and main songwriting on the previous record were handled by Simone Mularoni of DGM, this time the production was instead handled by his fellow Italian metal maestro Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere, Timo Tolkki's Avalon, Archon Angel). Not only does Aldo have producution and songwriting credits on the album, he also features on guitar. Other musicians appearing on the album include Michele Sanna on drums, Luigi Andreone on bass, and Antonio Agate on keyboards. This time around, Tate is more involved in the songwriting and asked Aldo to draft a very special song for him, which he would ultimately sing in Italian. The song, 'Aria', also features guitars from Walter Cianciusi and Dario Parente, who are now in the Operation: Mindcrime live band with Tate. "I have been spending more and more time in Italy over the last few years and the people and culture have captured my heart. I truly enjoyed working with my Italian counterparts to create this classic metal album," says Tate. Musically, this album showcases the great songwriting and performing talents of Tate, Lonobile and his cast of musicians and also marks a very welcomed return for Tate to a style that he made famous along with his former band. Fans of Tate’s work in Queensryche’s early days and of the previous Sweet Oblivion record will not want to miss this! Line-up: Geoff Tate - Vocals Aldo Lonobile - Guitars Luigi Andreone - Bass Antonio Agate - Keys Michele Sanna - Drums

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents Bonfire's Hans Ziller and Ronnie Parkes. We discuss the band's new album Roots and much more.
PRESS RELEASE - Bonfire Roots AFM Records Release: 26 February 2021 It’s been more than two years now since Bonfire, following the outstanding debut of their current vocalist Alexx Stahl on Byte The Bullet (2017), were unanimously celebrated for their successor album Temple Of Lies (2018). Two years which saw the band rock countless stages at home and abroad before going on to set the bar even higher with their latest offering: Fistful Of Fire is definitely one of the toughest Bonfire albums ever and has been released in March 2020. As everybody knows today, this album release was ill-fated by that worldwide Covid-19 pandemic – store had closed short after the release and the tour had to be postponed and even cancelled in the end. It’s a fact, that the band did not play one single show with their new album to that very day. However the band from Ingolstadt is trying to looking forward. New plans arouse for an upcoming project. It was summer 2020 when the band again hit the “Flatliners Recording Studios” to start recording the new longplayer “Roots”. It’s a magnificent "almost unplugged"-album with 24 tracks recorded completely over again and interpreted in new ways.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents guitarist Damon Johnson (recorded Feb. 19th 2021)
We discuss his new album, upcoming Thin Lizzy dates and much more.
Press release - Battle Lessons released February 19, 2021 (Nashville, TN) January 13, 2021 -- Debuting today on Vevo, the new video for the title track to Damon Johnson and The Get Ready’s upcoming album, Battle Lessons, due out February 19, 2021 via Double Dragon Records. The video was directed by Carl Johnson, remotely from his Detroit studio, and features the trio ripping through the cut with a megawatt energy. The album’s iconic cover art is also utilized throughout the piece symbolizing an entity in motion moments before encountering a powerful electrical charge and ultimately exploding from the screen. Of the track Johnson says, “The lyrics to the song “Battle Lessons” are about some past experiences in various bands I’ve been in through the years. Though the words could easily be applied to any relationship.” He adds. “The lyric instructs me that I should take all the experience from my musical past and apply it to my now fully focused solo career.” No battle lessons lost on him. The internationally renowned guitarslinger, vocalist, songwriter, announced the release of his new album late last year. Battle Lessons is anchored by the searing title track showcasing Johnson’s gutsy vocals and razor riffs over presto grooves by The Get Ready drummer Jarred Pope (Tom Keifer) and bassist Robbie Harrington (Steve Vai). The song immediately reacted at radio, reaching #13 on the Classic Rock Chart. Work on the new album was made possible with the assistance of an Indiegogo pre-order helping to support the recording of Johnson and his new trio, The Get Ready. Recorded in Damon’s adopted hometown of Nashville, Battle Lessons was produced and mixed by multi-platinum producer/mixer, Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Evanescence, Rush, Stone Sour and more). Rock fans know Johnson’s name from his years of scorching stages as lead guitarist in the Alice Cooper band, and later with Thin Lizzy and the Lizzy-offshoot Black Star Riders in addition to fronting the potent ‘90s Southern rockers Brother Cane. Johnson’s songs have been recorded and sung by stars like Stevie Nicks (“Everyday” from her Trouble in Shangri-La) and Steven Tyler (singing on “Just Feel Better” for Carlos Santana’s All That I Am). With Battle Lessons, Johnson returns to his original hard-rock sound, feeding that fire he first discovered as a teenager playing Van Halen and AC/DC covers while in garage bands. Featuring nine newly written songs, the tracks are just as much about clever lyrics and sticky melodies as eyelash-searing guitars. “These are as good of songs as I’ve been a part of creating, ever in my whole career,” Johnson says. And that’s saying something - as singer/guitarist, and frontman of Brother Cane, the Birmingham, Alabama rock band who notched a string of ’90s rock hits, including “Got No Shame,” “I Lie In The Bed I Make” and chart-topper “And Fools Shine On.” In 2019 Johnson released Memoirs of an Uprising, a solo project that is both fierce and diverse. The first single, “Shivering Shivering” became an instant Top 10 Rock track. Immediately following that albums release Johnson spent the remainder of the 2019 on a series of dates crossing North America including several shows with The Winery Dogs (a supergroup of rockers featuring Richie Kotzen, Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan), a run of shows supporting Clutch, and the U.S. leg of the UFO tour.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon and Alan Niven along with The Jeremy White Podcast present authors Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock.
We discuss their book Nothin' But A Good Time (see description below)
Nothin' But a Good Time is the definitive, no-holds-barred oral history of 1980s hard rock and hair metal, told by the musicians and industry insiders who lived it. Hard rock in the 1980s was a hedonistic and often intensely creative wellspring of escapism that perfectly encapsulated—and maybe even helped to define—a spectacularly over-the-top decade. Indeed, fist-pumping hits like Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” Mötley Crüe’s “Girls, Girls, Girls,” and Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” are as inextricably linked to the era as Reaganomics, Pac-Man, and E.T. From the do-or-die early days of self-financed recordings and D.I.Y. concert productions that were as flashy as they were foolhardy, to the multi-Platinum, MTV-powered glory years of stadium-shaking anthems and chart-topping power ballads, to the ultimate crash when grunge bands like Nirvana forever altered the entire climate of the business, Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock's Nothin' But a Good Time captures the energy and excess of the hair metal years in the words of the musicians, managers, producers, engineers, label executives, publicists, stylists, costume designers, photographers, journalists, magazine publishers, video directors, club bookers, roadies, groupies, and hangers-on who lived it. Featuring an impassioned foreword by Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist and avowed glam metal fanatic Corey Taylor, and drawn from over 200 new interviews with members of Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Guns N’ Roses, Skid Row, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Winger, Warrant, Cinderella, Quiet Riot and others, as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford and many more, this is the ultimate, uncensored, and often unhinged chronicle of a time where excess and success walked hand in hand, told by the men and women who created a sound and style that came to define a musical era—one in which the bands and their fans went looking for nothin’ but a good time…and found it.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon in conjunction with The Jeremy White Podcast present Yes/Asia's Billy Sherwood. (Recorded February 2021)
We discuss his new band Arc Of Life and much more.
Press Release:
ARC OF LIFE is a new progressive rock supergroup which features three members of the current YES line-up, vocalist Jon Davison bassist/vocalist Billy Sherwood, and drummer Jay Schellen. Completing the lineup is one of the most interesting talents in the “new” progressive rock scene in the US, Dave Kerzner (ex-Sound of Contact) on keyboards and Jimmy Haun (also featured on YES albums in the past) on guitars. Their self-titled debut album is slated for release on February 12, 2021.
The concept behind the band is, in keeping with the progressive rock philosophy, to craft creative, challenging, and ear-pleasing music that pushes boundaries. The other idea behind the band is that YES would be a clear point of influence. But while YES is clearly the main influence, a lot of musical comparisons can be made to describe Arc Of Life’s grandiose and epic approach to music. But those descriptions are best left to the listeners to discern for themselves as repeat listens will reveal more layers. Arc Of Life is a true garden of delight for all progressive rock fans!

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon along with The Jeremy White Podcast present famed musician, Don McLean. (Recorded February 2021).
Press release:
This year marks the 50th anniversary release of the iconic song, American Pie. In celebration of this legendary song, Home Free and Don McLean teamed up for a special collaboration (released on January 29th 2021). This is also the first time Don has recorded the song since the original recording. An official music video was released on February 3rd - 'the day the music died' the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. Richardson died tragically in an Iowa plane crash.
We’re also excited to use this release and the platform to continue to draw awareness to the National Independent Venue Associations’s (NIVA) work in raising money for emergency grants for independent music venues and promoters so that 2021 does not become the year the stages died, too. We’ll be pushing Home Free fans to donate to NIVA and making sure they’re aware that just because The Save Our Stagesact passed, the work is not done.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents Moriah Formica & Brooke Colucci from PLUSH (Recorded Feb. 1st 2021)
PLUSH is an all-female rock band with a mission––to bring an all-girl rock band back to the forefront of the music industry. PLUSH is composed of four talented musicians, all under the age of 21, whose accomplishments and talent eclipse their age. This female rock force is fronted by singer/guitarist Moriah Formica, drummer Brooke Colucci, lead guitarist Bella Perron and bassist Ashley Suppa. Moriah skyrocketed to national recognition when she appeared on NBC’s The Voice. Miley Cyrus referred to her as a "Rock Goddess." Brooke, also known by her moniker Rock Angel, has even earned a nod from John Lennon’s official Facebook page, as she built her social media empire. Together, Moriah and Brooke have over 28 million views on their videos across social media platforms in 2020. Bella is a freshman at Berklee College of Music and a guitar virtuoso. She adds to the band’s ferocious melodies with amazing backing vocals and a no holds barred brand of uncompromising leads. Ashley adds an undeniable bass undertow to PLUSH's sound. She has been noticed by Ace Frehley (KISS), who requested her skills on backing vocals for his Anomaly solo album. PLUSH's first single "Hate" drops on all digital platforms February 9, 2021, via Pavement Entertainment. The song is very personal for frontwoman Moriah Formica. She says, "It's about somebody who broke my heart in a very bad way. I was just so angry and sad, but I couldn't bring myself to actually say 'I hated you' to that person, because the truth is I really, really loved that person, and I just hated that I loved them." "HATE" TEASER PLUSH - Hate Teaser PLUSH wants to bring back the heart of rock to the mainstream with a new and fresh spin on the sounds you already love. It has been quite awhile since an all-female rock act has hit the mainstream, and PLUSH hopes to inspire young women everywhere to follow their dreams, regardless of whatever challenges may get in the way.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents Pete Trewavas (Marillion, Transatlantic, Kino, Edison's Children). Recorded Feb. 2nd 2021.
We discuss Transatlantic's new album (details below), Marillion, his playing style with each band, the surprise hit Kayleigh and much more.
Transatlantic have never been a band to resist a challenge. So it should come as no surprise that for their fifth album ‘The Absolute Universe’, Neal Morse Roine Stolt Pete Trewavas and Mike Portnoy have really gone out to do something a little unusual. “We have actually come up with something unprecedented,” says Portnoy proudly. “We've got two versions of this album. There's a two CD presentation (‘Forevermore’),which is 90 minutes long, and a single one (‘The Breath Of Life’) - that's 60minutes. The single CD is NOT an edited version of the double CD. They're new recordings. What we have done are different approaches to the songs for this! We wrote fresh lyrics and have different people singing on the single CD version tracks as compared to those on the double CD. We revamped the songs to make the two versions different.” For this record, the band have also returned to the concept album format: “What we have is essentially one giant composition, split into chapters. The storyline is about the struggles facing everyone in society today” comments Portnoy. “We didn't start out with the idea of this being conceptual,” admits Stolt. “The way things work with us is that we have a load of ideas, and these are developed spontaneously when we meet up. Everything happens in the moment.” For Trewavas, 'The Absolute Universe' is a momentous project. “I think it is right up there with the very finest albums we've done.” ‘The Absolute Universe – The Breath of Life’ is available as a Limited CD Digipak, Gatefold 2LP + CD & as Digital Album. ‘The Absolute Universe – Forevermore’ is available as a Limited 2CDDigipak, 3LP+2CD Boxset & as Digital Album. ‘The Absolute Universe – The Ultimate Edition’ collects both versions together as a Limited Deluxe Clear 5LP+ 3CD + Blu-ray box-set, featuring expanded 16page LP-booklet, 5.1 surround sound mix with visuals, making-of documentary, 60x60cm poster – contained within a lift-off box finished with silver foil.

Welcome to this very special edition of ROCK TALK With Mitch Lafon as I dig back into my vaults to June 10th 2001 - for what is Robbin Crosby of RATT's final interview.
At the time Robbin was in hospice care and very much wanted to have his version of the band's history documented.
For historical purposes nothing from the discussion has been removed including pre & post interview banter.
The interview was done over the phone and recorded using a Radio Shack call recorder device plugged into a Sony Mini-Disc.The interview was set up by Ratt bassist Juan Croucier.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents JASON BIELER (Recorded December 21st 2020) Jason talks about his new album Songs For The Apocalypse, Saigon Kick and more.
See full press release below:
RELEASE DATE: January 22, 2021 Jason Bieler is prepared to release his new solo album, “Songs For The Apocalypse” this coming January. The album, aptly being released under the monkier JASON BIELER AND THE BARON VON BIELSKI ORCHESTRA, sees Bieler working with a diverse array of musical friends including: Todd LaTorre (Queensryche), Dave Ellefson (Megadeth), Devin Townsend, Pat Badger (Extreme), Butch Walker (ex-Marvelous 3), Bumblefoot (Sons of Apollo), Clint Lowery (Sevendust), Benji Webbe (Skindred), Kyle Sanders (Hellyeah) and more! When Bieler was reached for comment about the new album, he said: "I'm fairly certain they mistakenly assumed they were signing Justin Bieber based on the blockbuster deal we signed…but it's too late for them now as I'm already recording and spent an obscene amount of the budget on my Super PAC advocating that 'Lunch Is On The Way' be Subway's new official theme song." When asked about the record, Jason will only say that "it will NOT be my heaviest record yet, but it will feature a bunch of friends and musicians I love and respect. It should sound something like if NEUROSIS got stuck in a blizzard at a Wawa with SUPERTRAMP, then JELLYFISH showed up and they all decided to do Barry Manilow covers in the style of MESHUGGAH, but in waltz time with slight country underpinnings…yet accessible for the masses." Bieler then asked that Frontiers promptly get the hashtag #ChockFullOfBangers trending on Twitter. Bieler is a singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer who is also known for playing with hard rock band SAIGON KICK, which achieved a platinum single in the US with the timeless hit "Love Is On The Way" from its gold-selling album "The Lizard", which Jason also produced. Bieler also played in an early touring version of TALISMAN with Marcel Jacob and Jeff Scott Soto, as well as SUPER TRANSATLANTIC, with EXTREME bassist Pat Badger, earning them a gold record for their work on the soundtrack for the "American Pie" movie. Recently, Bieler had been touring extensively as a solo artist (until the worldwide pandemic slowed that down). The shows featured a wide array of musical styles, absurdists humor, special guests, and more. He also runs, along with his brother, a successful record label, Bieler Bros., which has worked with SKINDRED, WILL HAVEN, NONPOINT, KARNIVOOL, SIKTH, and many more.

Klaus discusses the band's latest single SIGN OF HOPE as well as working on a new heavier album with (Metallica/Slipknot) producer Greg Fidelman, revisiting older demo songs for the new album, the importance of adding Mikkey Dee to the lineup, working with Desmond Child and vocal coach Eric Vetro on Humanity: Hour 1, being re-energized to continue after the Farewell tour, the 40th Anniversary of Animal Magnetism and much more. Plus, one incredible fan boy geek question...
QUOTE: "It's great to have Greg Fidelman (Metallica/Slipknot) on our side. From the very beginning we said, if we make a new album it's got to be on the harder edge. It's got to be an album with attitude. It's got to take us back to the '80s - where we had many many big songs and big albums like Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, Blackout and all that stuff. It was just to try to focus on that kind of vibe. If we can pull this off after so many years, I don't know. All I know is we started writing last year and we have lots and lots of material. What I hear everyday in the studio feels really good... we're on the right direction; the right track. We work on an album and we try to really go back to the Scorpions DNA from those years. It's crazy to think about making a new album, but we're totally in sync with Greg Fidelman. We want to go to this old vibe... After so many many years and decades to go back into the studio to work on an album and to write new material; I think it's a blessing that we don't sit here at home watching the grass grow. It's so much in our veins to travel, to play shows... It feels so good to go deep into your creative world and create new material, new songs... That feels really really good."

Black Swan - Shake The World: "For me personally, it's the best record I have ever recorded, the best vocal sound I've ever had on any record (that I've ever recorded), and that's how I feel about it. The rest were just too processed, too syrupy and while it suited the time... There's a lot of stuff that gets said about the McAuley/Schenker period... I didn't write the music. Michael Schenker wrote the music and I just sang over it. It was great for that time, but you know..." Subscribe to Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon for exclusive content and interviews.

Quote from the interview: "The social media thing is a whole other animal. It's just part of the game nowadays. Sometimes, I think, 'if Kurt Cobain or Bon Scott... how would they act if they had to be actively taking part in social media?' It would be really weird. I imagine Marc Bolan would be taking selfies all day, but you think Bon Scott or Kurt Cobain would be taking selfies? It's a weird dynamic shift, but it's just something you have to do now."

Quote: "The solo record lets me stretch out and do things that I'm not able to do with Crowbar and that's important to me."
"My whole rock n' roll world began with KISS Alive!, but when I'm out with my wife running errands I actually listen to an '80s pop station that plays a lot of the early MTV stuff like Split Enz, Human League, Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper and all that kind of stuff. Just good pop songs... After leaving the studio and doing just Crowbar stuff for four hours straight, the last thing I want to hear is something heavy."
"NOLA is a classic record to most people because it was something refreshing... it was record that wrote itself because it was five guys that grew up together. We didn't overthink it. It stood the test of time for the last quarter century."

"We both know our audience. And we know what they want because it's what we want."
Touring - "2021 - Iced Earth. No Demons & Wizards. If Metallica says 'we want to take Demons & Wizards on tour,' then everything will probably change. But in the real world there's probably no chance of Demons' shows until 2022 at the earliest."

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton (recorded January 2020).
Mark discusses his new album ETHER as well as Lamb Of God's 2020 new album & touring plans.
Selected quotes from the interview -
"I have become less and less interested in chasing that technical prowess and that unbelievably scientifically technically amazing approach to guitar. I've never been that kind of player. Maybe at times I have aspired to that, but the more and more I go into my career the more and more I write songs and work on different projects. I've far more interested in songwriting. I happen to be a guitar player, so I write songs on guitar... I'm really interested in the song. I'm just much more fulfilled by a good song than I am by any kind of 'shreddy' solo or technical display."
Lamb Of God: "We have never once, at all, considered fan response in any sort of creative decision ever. We have never written a song for anybody else except the five people in the room. Not for management. Not for label. Not for fans. Not for media. Not for anybody. When we like it, it's done."
Lamb Of God's upcoming plans: "There's going to be a new album in 2020 and there's going to be extensive touring around it."

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents legendary guitarist, Frank Marino (recorded December 2019).
Frank discusses his new Live At The Agora Theatre, VIP and LIP (less important person) concert ticket packages, his upcoming US tour, how he approaches live shows & set lists, fake crowd swell, upcoming new music, and more.
"If you're going to create a VIP package, by definition you're creating a LIP package (a less important person package). What you're doing is creating two classes of supporter. The ones that can afford to be your supporter and the ones that can't. I won't do that... Who the hell do we think we are? We're not saving the world here. We're supported by these fans. If not for them, there wouldn't be a show."
"I don't like to call myself an artist. I think it's an over-used word. I'm a musician."
"When you begin to look at music as a brand, you change the motivation as to why you do it. I never ever did a record with that in mind."

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents Buckcherry's Stevie D. (recorded January 2020).
Stevie D. discusses the band's latest album Warpaint, the spirit of Buckcherry, the band's sound, why Josh Todd & The Conflict, Spraygun war, how important is radio play to the band, the new collaboration with WifisFuneral, their upcoming ACOUSTIC project, the album 15, drummer Francis Ruiz and much more.
"It was important to us (when the band splintered) to keep the spirit of Buckcherry and what that is. It was important to keep that intact. So, in writing, that was definitely in the forefront."
"Rock is still alive and selling out stadiums."
"For us, radio is important, but it's not the answer because we built a great touring business. We can still go out and sellout where ever we play. It would be nice to have the radio support but it wasn't necessary during the Warpaint tour."
"You've got to stay true to who you are... Buckcherry has never been a band that is doing what every one else is doing. And getting successful has been icing on the cake for us."
"We'll do another full length record by end of summer. We're constantly working on stuff. Right after Wifisfuneral, we do have a couple acoustic songs coming out."
The 15 album: "There was nothing riding on it. We were at this place where we could do it or not. There was no record company. There was no manager or nothing. It was just five guys in a room. Go figure, the thing blew up."

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents revered British pop icon, Peter Noone (recorded at the end of 2019).
Peter discusses his extensive yearly touring schedule, being a music enthusiast, the beginnings of Herman's Hermits, songwriting, The Beatles & more, finding their place in a crowded radio marketplace, lyrics then and now, personal choice, working on Broadway, The Tremblers, a Farewell tour, his love of music, Casablanca Records, Neil Bogart, Tom Petty, Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones playing on Herman's Hermit songs and much much more.
On getting started in music: "I started off as an enthusiast of music. I bought records and went to see live music. I knew lots of people who were in groups that played in their sister's attic and the little local nightclubs. One day, I found myself in a band where I was not just and enthusiast, but a participant."
On a possible Farewell Tour: "I'm more like Mick Jagger. Arrogantly believing that I can pull it off for at least another ten years... Music is my hobby. When I hang up the phone with you, I'm going to play some music. That's what I do. When I'm in my car driving to a gig, I listen to music. Some people listen to the world news. I don't. I listen to music. And enjoy it, and smile and sing along and dislike and love and all of those things. So, why would I want to stop doing that?"
On Neil Bogart: "I don't know how good he was at business, but he was a great character."
On Coronation Street, he jokingly says, "I was in it in 1961 and it's still the number one show in England even without me in it."

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents former White Lion singer, Mike Tramp (recorded January 2020).
Mike discusses his upcoming M3 Rock Festival appearance as well as his new Second Time Around album (out May 2020), his inspiration for new music, the story coming with the new album, why he's never ventured into producing or managing other bands, celebrating 30 years of Mane Attraction, aging gracefully, Vito's concern, and much more.
On his new album - Second Time Around: "Compared to Lord Of The Rings or Game Of Thrones, you can actually go in and out of my solo albums and not be confused in where the hell you are. This one basically re-introduces some songs that I wrote and recorded in different versions earlier on when I floating around this break I had in the middle where I attempted... wrongly attempted... a regrettable attempt to do a new version of White Lion. There were times when I stepped into the studio because I felt I had these songs. So, some of these songs are from early on - written at a different time, but anytime that I listen to anything - it is as current as Stray From The Flock, Nomad, Maybe Tomorrow or even Capricorn... It's still the same story."
"I only will sing the songs that I can sing and I will not attempt even for a second to be Mike Tramp 1988 - 27 years old. There are a lot of old rock n' roll singers trying to hold on to their hair and trying to squeeze out 10% of the voice they once had. It hurts me watching my heroes trying to walk out on stage as Fat Elvis - not giving their best anymore because they simply cannot let go of what they once were. When you're not good enough anymore you leave the field or become a car salesman. I can't be Mike Tramp 1988 and there are a lot of singers from 1980's who simply cannot do what they are trying to attempt."

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents songwriter, Desmond Child. This is the show's second interview with Desmond (recorded winter 2019).
Desmond discusses his latest album 'Desmond Child Live', chanteuse Lena Hall, working with Jon Bon Jovi, making KISS a chart success, times when collaborations didn't work, song doctors, the Scorpions Humanity: Hour I, working with Alice Cooper, lost confidence, Nashville, ASCAP & streaming, and much more. On working with Bon Jovi: "We had chemistry together. We had a fate that was leading us to each other."
On writing the massive KISS his I Was Made For Lovin' You With Paul Stanley: "I showed up at a KISS rehearsal and during the break... at SRI there was a big grand piano up on the stage. Everybody took off and just he and I were at the piano and we wrote the song. It was a magical experience. I told him, 'do these dramatic chords over a disco beat - just four on the floor and put heavy guitars on it. He was like, 'ok, but I don't think Gene's gonna like that, but whatever." And Gene never liked it, not to this day. But It's there biggest international hit."
Early Aerosmith experience: "It started out not good with Aerosmith to tell you the truth. I was forced on the band. I walk in and there's just some roadies around and I hear some kind of a loop going on backwards. Steven who's a real people pleaser, I didn't even say a word yet, says 'hey come over here - listen to what we're doing.' And so I listen to it and it was this backwards loop and he started singing, 'Crusin' For The Ladies... Cruisin' For The Ladies,' and I said, 'that's really bad.' Those were my first words to Aerosmith."
On his friend's reactions to wanting to work with the Scorpions in 2006-07: "Lots of my friends and manager said, 'Oh, come on - don't work with them. They're has-beens. They do beer halls in Germany, like forget it.' I don't know, I just felt something and I believed in them... I had rules. I made Klaus go to singing lessons with Eric Vetro."
On his legacy: "My music has touched billions of people all around the planet. They don't know who wrote it. They don't even know who sang it, but they know the song. So, for me, it's been very fulfilling"

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents singer, Zak Stevens (Savatage, TSO, Archon Angel). Recorded January 2nd 2020.
Expect Archon Angel to tour Europe (including Greece, France, Germany, etc...) in April 2020.
During our conversation Zak discusses his new band Archon Angel, the importance of branding, the 'punishing' touring schedule with TSO, guitarist Joel Hoekstra (Cher, Whitesnake), the return of Savatage, the future of Archon Angel, 70 000 Tons Of Metal cruise, Aldo Nova, coming in for the recording of the Savatage album Edge Of Thorns & becoming the band's new voice and much more. Selected quotes from the interview:
On surviving TSO's grueling tour schedule: "You have to have a militarized routine. You just get into it and go. It's the wildest thing I've ever seen - the TSO tours. It's a different animal - that's for sure." Archon Angel's press release describes the new Fallen album as having the 'classic Savatage sound', Zak comments: "When we started with the Archon Angel stuff, we didn't think this was Savatage-esque. Even I didn't think it was overwhelmingly like Savatage. The press is hearing stuff... I wonder if that's more like something the person is hearing for themselves and going 'oh yeah, we've been wanting Savatage and this sounds like it.' When, we, the musicians looked at it... It may be here or there, but not like an overwhelming thing. I'd be the first one to say, 'wait a minute I can't... this is just like Savatage. I'm not going to dive right into that. When you come from that history (I come from singing in Savatage), there's bound to be something that is going to remind somebody of that. You really can't get away from it, so don't try to run. It's gonna catch you."
The return of Savatage: "Yes, if you talk to the guys in Savatage, they would love to come together. We're just waiting on some decisions from above to see what the next step is." He further added, "All of a sudden, I'm seeing five Savatage songs in the second half of the TSO show and I'm going, 'Hint?' Who knows? I see some building on that side... Al Pitrelli, Johnny Lee Middleton, myself, Chris Cafferty, Jeff Plate, we're all kinda sitting there saying 'hmmm - this is very interesting...' Send Savatage out to tell a few stories from their old albums... We know we got it. We know that it's a demand and we know that there's a business demand especially coming from Europe... Be ready for the call."

ROCK TALK WITH MITCH LAFON presents guitarist George Lynch. (Recorded December 2019)
George discusses his latest project, Dirty Shirley, and the various other projects (KXM, Sweet & Lynch...) he's been involved with over the last few years. Also, will there be a Dokken/Lynch Mob and Lita Ford tour? Though it's been announced, the answer seems unsure. Other topics covered include: branding, getting off the traditional album-tour-album cycle, being challenged, growing as a person & player, chasing 'the dollar', being pigeonholed, if the personalities hadn't clashed - could Dokken have been a stadium act (at approx. 14mins 19 secs.), Frank Marino, Uli Jon Roth and much more.
Commenting on his various projects: "It's my own damn fault for not saying no to anything... But it probably isn't the smartest thing in the world - business wise or on a lot of other levels."
On Dokken: "Don took a gamble that he could disband the group, take off on his own and keep that momentum going. To a large extent that was misguided... the rest of the band suffered because of that (arguably in a lot of ways). We had what we had all worked for, ripped out from under us... When it came time for us to reap the rewards of that, it was pretty much stolen out from under us by one of us. One of our brothers and that was very hard for me to take."
On the upcoming Lita Ford, Lynch Mob, Dokken tour: "Well, listen - nothing is set in stone. I'll preface this by saying that everything could fall apart tomorrow, but assuming everything goes according to plan..."
Lynch Mob new music: "Lynch Mob will have a new release in time for next year's touring."
Who's on the new Lynch Mob album: "Jimmy and I worked on the new record initially... then we brought in Joe Retta (from Heaven & Earth - who's working on vocals)... Sean McNabb is not. Next year, Brian Tichy's coming back."

Quotes from the interview - "As a 73 year old guy, you don't get a lot chances at recording another album, but I'd like to make Last Testament 2 or 3."
On his new solo album Last Testament, "I really did not want to make a cheapo version of Nazareth. That would have been appalling."
On leaving Nazareth, "I said look boys I cannot do this anymore, but there's no reason for there to be no Naz. The boys sat down and everybody was upset. We're all close mates... It was very sad for me and I still miss the guys everyday."
On dropping Roger Glover as Nazareth's producer, "He wanted to start formulating, but that's not Naz. Being in Deep Purple, he liked Deep Purple. It should be Deep Purple.You know what I mean... We wanted a change from Roger anyway."
"I found my career... a lot of bumbling goes on and I think that's true of a lot of musicians - to be quite honest.
