Local Loft Episode 310

"24 and there's so much more." (Neil Young-Old Man 1972). 

 

Neil wasn't singing about the year of 2024, but there's so much more original Chicagoland metal, punk & alternative rock & power pop. Not just new music, but new territories where the music is created. 

We've been across the Illinois/Indiana state line before but have never heard anything coming out of the land of The Fighting Irish. from South Bend, Indiana, Jammie Bosstel fronts both Praise The Fallen & Bosstel. While PTF has a radio friendly, melodic hard rock sound, Bostell gets more electronic, even industrial. Bostell is looking to head North to Norridge and open for ex Saving Abel singer Scott Austin. Jammie joins me with PTF's New single about self-motivation helping one to move in a new direction, and a new  Bostell track of not letting social media rule your life.

Fresh off being named Best Chicagoland Alternative Rock band of 2023 on Local Loft Episode 309 Year in Review, Carrying Torches doesn't take a holiday in putting forth a new single fir the new year. It's about Unusually shutting oneself out from the world and sinking into your own isolated one. I'll spin it.

They could have duked it out head-to-head with the giants of Pop Punk (Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World). Rematch from Chicago's North side never got the chance, as they never had another chance to rock Wire In Berwyn live, like 5 years ago this week. We rock back to it.
