Local Loft Episode 116

There's no holiday,for listening and discovering new,fresh and unique original local Chicago area and Illinois hard rock,punk,metal,alt-rock and prog. It's as much as an important part of your life as getting up in the morning. So rise up,and tap in to the ever changing and active scene.

The Off Days are a 4 man alt rock band from Chicago's North side with a blend of angst ridden 90's style grunge and 60's era British invasion power pop,with a sight new wave 80's twist. I found out about their catchy guitar driven music before they rock a Sunday night crowd at Wire in Berwyn.

Veilside says goodbye,to longtime co founder,Bob Hilton,and to a extensive,loyal fan base,with one last show. It's going to be a nice,memorable gift of music to the man who mostly put it all together.

Black Road substitutes Halloween for Christmas with a fiery witch hunt, in another groovin offering from their new full length album.

Along with these, you're rockin around the xmas tree,while air guitar shredding the trimmings to:
