Local Loft Episode 32

Hardcore or Old School. Nu Metal or classic thrash. What's your brand? Wiait..Hold it..this is not an over hyped  corporate product. I'll ask again...what's your genre,your sound amongst the numerous styles,vocals & lyrics in the local hard rock & metal scene for greater Chicagoland,The Illinois/Wisconsin state line,the Western burbs,the Southlands (Joliet & Kankakee) areas,Central Illinois & Northwest Indiana?

Two distinctly different metal styles are presented on Episode 32.  Fool's Brew offers an insane,alcohol soaked pure adrenaline form of aggressive hardcore metal.They have just released their third EP,The Reckoning. I talk to singer Jarret O'Cooley,guitarist Diggs McNasty,,The Cormander on bass,& Timmy Daniels on Drums,before a late July gig at Star Bar In chicago Ridge

With the threat of a dangerous deluge rain storm in the vicinity, I'm back at Star Bar in Chicago Ridge the night after Fool's Brew for Witchcross. If Old School 1970s Black Sabbath style riffs & images of vampire ridden cemetary's are part of your favorite metal genre, this is your music. Count William Anders Janisch has a clean high pitched singing style much like Rob Halford or Ozzy. I talk to the Count & guitarist Derrick Anderson about the making of their first CD after a 12 year break,Curse of the Undead.
