Local Loft Episode 282

It's almost summertime, & the taco eating will be easy.

So will be finding the appropriate original Chicago area metal, punk, alternative rock & power pop band that will supply the groove to help you work off a hearty meal of ground beef & hard shells. The Neighborhood Threat won't instigate a riot, but they will incite you to slam dance to work off the crunchy dinner meal with punchy punk tunes. The four-piece Southwest Side Chicago band plays Punk Rock Tacos in Villa Park July 8th.

Punching their way like transparent ghosts through a luminescent gothic nighttime setting of a new music video, Joliet's Beneath The Hollow bask in the glow of another person's misery. I talk to singer Jesse DeGroot for the first time in 11 years. about the making of their new EP, Misery Loves You, released this Friday, June 23rd.

Aeraco didn't totally resurrect the punchy power metal groove of Pantera. They came very close in bringing back the dominant mid 90s period when metal reigned supreme, in rocking Reggie's Music Joint, six years ago this week. We rock back to when I first discovered a blazing debut in the making.

Spring into another action packed, summer of original Chicago metal, punk, alternative rock & power pop, by firing up your mobile or PC device with the burning sounds of:

Beneath The Hollow-Misery Loves You
