Phone this one in, to your home stereo, your car radio. Whatever source generates audio, more original Chicago area metal, punk, alternative rock, & power pop will be handed down from generation to generation. From baby boomers to space age lunatics on the fringe of slam dancing around a mosh pit. It's the musical stuff that fans are made of.

Fighting a never ending battle for Rock domination, The Lunatic's Fringe is picking up followers from all age groups who outnumber. naysayers of the band's out of this world musical vision. True to the cause of rocking audiences, nothing stands in their way, except the Party Of No. But even their negative reviews and threats can't stop a band on the fringe of spreading the gospel of rock supremacy. Their second full length album, Resurgence, has the band moving forward in their mission to make true believers out of their positive messages that rock conquers all demons. Mr. Fringe joins me, to discuss the ongoing, sometimes comical battle with the No Sayers, and even spreads the word, to those on the fringe of a music dry spell, to check out this very podcast for its attempts to let the music of the Chicago scene become the dominant soundtrack of their lives.

The distinctive frontman & drummer of Southwest Suburban power rockers Veilside will soon unveil their new band. I have the first new single from Block Chain Coalition. Forgotten Chicago metal band Paradoxx returns for a one off gig at Brauerhouse in Lombard in April. They pre dated even the king of the Devil's Horn Handsign. Nothing (Ronnie James) Dio about their sound, as they come out of a three-year hibernation. Discussion amongst their ever growing, soon to be large fanbase will be numerous, not just in their native Kankakee for Carrying Torches, as they burn their way through a set of new songs at a March release show. I've got the scoop.

He put a career as radio sales manager aside to cash in on his longtime plans to be a prominent singer, and guitarist. New Lenox's Dave Bellah blew minds and melted faces with his debut solo albun, Think Outside The Burning Box. We rock back to when he got all fired up to rock a packed crowd at Bruaerhouse four years ago this week.

Along with these, you're on the fringe of a total original Chicagoland Metal, Punk, Alternative and Power Pop pig out. Gobble it up, and ask for seconds, and thirds by:
