Expanding the horizons (and boundaries) of the Chicagoland area and Illinois local metal, punk, alternative and progressive rock and power pop scene. We'll actually let the bands and solo artists take care of the horizons, I'll expand the boundaries.
Northwest Indiana has always been considered a big part of the Chicago Metro and Southwest suburbs. It is across the state line down the Indiana toll road and I-80/94 we find Eyes Of Anguish. This five man band combines modern melodic metal with Nu Hardcore. They just picked up a larger fanbase, opening for Soulfly in Lombard. I talk to Singer Joey Wise, guitarists Eric Yakovetz, and Greg Hoover, bassist David Fishel, and drummer Jordan Chontos, as they get ready to release Thorns, the thunderous follow up single to their debut Shadows , which they will reveal live on its March 19th release date at J.J. Kelley's in Lansing.
Like Prince, Joe Satriani, and Zach Wylde, David Shankle has a history going back at least four decades as a legendary guitar shredder. As he turns 60 today, a little birthday salute which spotlights his mostly Euro Metal band , Feanor, and the powerhouse act GraveReign.
Joliet's Prison City Brigade gets back to their Hardcore Punk beginnings in a new fast, brief single, as they get ready to open for Horror Punk veteran Doyle Von Frankenstein, Misfits guitarist, Saturday at Brauerhouse in Lombard.
Some bands have an army of fans, but never were in active duty in any U.S. military branch. The Allegiance from Joliet had two members who served tours of duty. Ten years ago this week, they marched back to the Kat 105.5 on air studio in Kankakee, armed with a heavy music artillery and a barrage of vocal harmonies. A rock back to their second appearance.
