" You're on your own. It's best that way. Look out for number one. Don't take no shit from no one, just keep on having fun!"
Ignore Them (Always Crashing The Same Bar)-Eddie And The Hot Rods. B Side Of their third single, I Might Be Lying. Released 3-31-77. Island Records U.K.
You can't ignore the wide variety of genres and diversity of original Chicagoland Metal, Punk, Alternative Rock and Power Pop. There's something for every music taste.
With a raunchy, Southern Hard Rock and Metal mixture, Tractor Boy combines aggressive heavy guitar power chords with a politically pissed off attitude. The four-man heartland punk band has just released Midwest Loud, their second studio album. Revealing the entire track album to a packed Saturday night crowd at Stadium Club At The Max in Southwest Suburban McCook, 25 minutes South of Downtown Chicago. I talk with singer and drummer Steve Bradshaw on how political U.S. Government and Corporate America conspiracies work into scary tales of military medical procedures and band members being attacked by a cult group in a downstate concert appearance.
It's a post-Christmas hibernation gone bad for Chicago Power Pop trio Who's This Mary?, which they'll share to close out the annual International Pop Overthrow. Plus, a surprise two-decade celebration reunion for Joliet Hardcore Metal act Wicked Deception in their hometown this weekend.
