Local Loft Episode 182

There's gonna be a throwdown!. Another shot at checking out live local Chicago area metal, punk, alternative, prog rock and power pop. Metal takes precedence here. Joliet's Orinoco has not played in front of fierce moshing hometown fans since the COVID pandemic shut half the world down. They finally get the chance this Friday at The Forge. I talk to singer Anthony Guardiola about the upcoming gig, and about how the band is getting heavier on the follow up to their 2020 EP, What A Relief.

Ten Years ago, multi talented singer, producer, musician and songwriter Brian Eaton proved he could perform any music genre with his debut solo album, Graphic nature. Brian returns with a futuristic, spacy, rock fusion instrumental record.

Chicago punk/doom metal trio Of Wolves rocked a video game loving crowd with a all out barnstorming show at Game Pazzo in Downers Grove, eight years ago this week. We rock back to when I interviewed singer and founder Steve (Wolves) Sherwood for the first time.

Along with these, you'll be headbanging through the moon's green cheesy surface as you hear the howling power chords of:

Orinoco-Sheets

Hellgrind-Dark Times (Godless Reign Of Terror)

Brian Eaton-Superheavy Metals of Ceres
