Local Loft Episode 170

With no help from Mother Nature's pissing rain, something musical and explosive is blooming in April. New fresh, thunderous original metal, punk, power pop, alt-rock and prog rock from all over Chicagoland and Illinois is about to pour all over you through the podcast that spans the vast area.

Death Pop Radio is a Tour De Force of nineties old school grunge, eighties progressive metal and modern day industrial nu metal. Singer Eric Liljehorn adds to the fiery hard rocking nature of the band's sound with his distinctive vocals. I talk to Eric, as DPR gets ready to release it's self titled debut album on May 7th.

All girl punk band Bloody Mary was one of a kind. The once all teenage band based out of Downers Grove suffers a tragic loss to one of its original members.

Tony Engel is a journeyman singer. From the raw, bluesy, adrenaline rush hard rock of Veilside to the explosive power metal of Gravereign, to continues to unleash his awesome vocal delivery. News on the release on GraveReign's long awaited debut and another scorching cut from it, plus, back ten year's ago this week, when Tony and Veilside were first let loose on Kat 105.5 radio listeners in the Chicago Southlands.
