Local Loft Episode 176

Burning the noon oil (yes , anticipation won't let us wait till the wee hours of the morning to get a new local original music fix on). Another full platter of original metal, punk, prog rock, alternative and power pop is served up. and there will be plenty of room for seconds, even thirds. 

Creeping out of the far Northwest region of Illinois (Waukegan, near the Wisconsin/Illinois border) Lines Of Loyalty is ready to break through into the national hard rock mainstream. They have the drive (and the driving groove) to penetrate through the restrictive playlist of terrestrial and satellite active rock radio. I talk with Gothic looking singer Glenn Nubz Morrison about their debut, radio friendly single of denial, I'm Not the One, before they rock The Forge in Joliet this Thursday. The show will also contain Eugiene Grey and the Bad Habits, who get slashing-ly innovative with Friday The 13th film style music videos.

Robb Serrano beats it out of Illinois. The Extraction Point and ex Odonrot drummer surprisingly announces his departure. 

Robb was also one third of the coolest support group to the Chicago area Metal scene. His splitting the state means no chance of a Chicago Metal Alliance reformation. We rock back five years ago to when the CMA bid farewell with a local music packed bash in Chicago Ridge.

Along with these, you're doin the June slam dance swoon to the driving grooves of:
