Local Loft Episode 128

Summer's here,and the time is right for rocking out at home. Some venues are beginning to reopen in the Chicago area under risky circumstances in the psychotic Covid 19 pandemic. I have info, within this new podcast, of a local metal show in Lake Villa. But crowd attendance is iffy or may not be included. No if's and's or but's about getting up close to your computer,phone or device speakers to discover new original music from Chicagoland and Illinois. We keep it mostly metal this time around.

Of Wolves began their metal mixed with Punk and a touch of prog rock assault back in 2012 with the release of their debut EP, Evolve. Almost seven years later,they have put out Balance. Highly political,angry and fierce,the new record speaks volumes. I've got two tracks from it,and we rock backwards to July 2013 when the Oak Lawn based trio,headed by Steve Sherwood (Wolves) first introduced themselves to Kat 1055 listeners. Plus new brash hardcore Metal from Self Imposed Exile,just South of Joliet, and a back to the future moment when venues were safe to rock out in,courtesy of Monk 9.
