The Forefront of the Revolution with Dee J Moens | La...

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/11/17

As it happens sometimes, I am honored to connect with a real legend in the business. This is due to the fact that I was that weird kid that wanted to know what people weren't talking about on the radio.Cut to today, when who should arrive at my virtual door, but the man himself.... Dee J Moens (Moons) of the legendary Belgian rock band, La Muerte.It's easy to praise a man who has lived his musical life without boundaries, but it's also frustrating to love something so much yet wonder why after 40

Even Keeled with Craig Lawrence | The Young Hearts

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/11/10

It's not often that I connect with a musician quite like Craig Lawrence. Let me explain. Most musicians are a bit wild eyed and loony. I know because I'm one of them. When I speak to a guy like Craig, it's such a breath of fresh air because he's not trying to be someone he isn't. He isn't putting anything on. His music is precise, fun, infinitely listenable and full of hope for the future not yet attained. In other words, he's doing it for the love the craft, and that's a rare thing

Karin Park is Pure

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/11/03

Karin Park seems to exist on an alternate plane. It's rare that an artist can feel so singular, even when it's apparent that there is a sort of hidden musical homage to those that have influenced them. Karin's new album, Private Collection, speaks to the soul in a profound way. The music is glassy, mesmerizing, morose, lovely, challenging, enchanting, and dare I say pure. It's a must own and one in which I'll be listening to and sharing with my friends for decades to come. I really can't

J-Easy Ain't Playing

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/10/11

Short and sweet is how it is when you get J-Easy on the line. The man is a great example of a classic rap artist, playing with the ideas of youthful hubris, all while being a dad, a husband, and a kind soul dealing with naysayers.His new single, 'Let me brag,' says it all. It's a young buck, letting you know who and what's what, all while delivering the lyrics with a tongue planted firmly in cheek.I hope you enjoy the new single, along with this interview we put together for you. Make sure you

Safe from a Distance | Hunting Giants

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/30

Vancouver Canada has a habit of birthing bands that revel in eccentricity. What I find most appealing is that my guests today are really just kind, normal dudes.Hunting Giants came to my inbox via a favorite PR team and my ears immediately couldn't get enough. There is a new electricity in their sound that rivals the progressive metal greats of the 90's, and it's my pleasure to make them known to you today.Steve and Brad joined me today and I'm pretty sure we had a great time. At least I did, and

The Wisdom of the Youth with Matt Wagner | MNERVA

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/29

Matt Wagner is going to surprise you. His energy and voice seemingly know no boundaries... at least not yet.Matt's voice is a new icon waiting for discovery and I'm so proud to be one of the first to spread his message of good musical news.I was fortunate to discover Matt through a business relationship, who simply sent me an email asking my professional opinion. Now, usually when one gets these emails, the performers are average at best, so I wasn't expecting much, but then I heard his new single,

Don't get too Comfortable | Spirit in the Room

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/26

As Dennis Sanders says 'Life has a way of saying "don't get too comfortable,"' and maybe that's exactly why I like his music so much.Today, on the show, you're going to make another new discovery with me, as we listen to the first moments a new artistic friendship was formed.Dennis' band, Spirit in the Room, is a dark hearted novel come to amazing life and we are all here to witness it's truth and fiction. The new album, Flamingo, is a thickly mixed, dense and brutally melancholy work of

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/22

Okay okay... every once in awhile, I get super nervous doing an interview. It isn't intended, obviously, and my energy goes through the roof, so hang on to your hats, because I'm off the rails today.I was so ecstatic to connect with Greg and Sean from the global supergroup, Vented and it shows. Vented was founded not long ago, and for a brief time, Joey Jordison of Slipknot fame, was a member. That is until Joey sadly passed. Speaking today with Greg and Sean, I was able to get a better

Pizza, Zombies, and Unicorns with Alon Karnieli |...

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/19

Sinnery is a fantastic band and my interview with Alon Karnieli was all the things I'd hoped it'd be. What's really crazy is Alon is halfway around the world and we actually have mutual friends. How does that happen?Sinnery's new record, Black Bile, comes out in September, and everyone I know is thrilled to hear the entire work. Hopefully, today's show, along with the opening song you're hearing under this intro, will turn you on. Get on the presale list now, because it's a killer record. Alon

Get Out the Dreck with Ray Suhy | Gematria

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/15

Gematria. Say that amazing word three times fast. I was so blessed to chat with Ray Suhy of this fantastic progressive rock act, and we had a wonderful time, getting to know each other and touch on some fascinating subjects. Ray is kind hearted and an utter blast. It's times like these where I wish I could get more than 60 minutes of conversation, but I'm grateful to get any with Ray, I assure you. This is my chat with the man himself and the creator of new ideas and stories. This is Ray Suhy of

The Zero Hour with Zach Amster | Abrams

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/12

When I sat with Zach Amster of the up and coming monster rock band, Abrams, I knew I was in for it. Zach has that certain something that I'm familiar with and envy at the same time. He's thoughtful and transparent, but he owns the floor and in our interview, Zach made it very clear he knows what's what. The direction of Abrams is clear and it's my hope that the show today will turn you towards the future of rock and roll as we turn our ears to the groundswell. Especially since the new album

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/10

Dark and brooding.... words that are overused... it must get tiresome, especially when you're a very talented person and you're constantly aligned or misaligned with everyone else in a certain genre.My conversation with James Hammontree of Oklahoma City's Black Magnet was a real treat, because the man is a reality check, charging straight into the blind eye of an industrial metal storm cell.Black Magnet's new release, Body Prophecy, is a squirmy, dark hearted, mind melt that pushes the listener

The New Romantics with Marco Bravi | Virtual Symmetry

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/08

Mark Bravi, or as I still like to call him, Marco, is a true musical upstart and an integral piece of the musical mission known as Virtual Symmetry.Hailing from Italy and vacationing in Switzerland, Mark gave me enough time and enough joy during our interview to make up for any emptiness in my life...perhaps ever. I don't know if I've ever met such a kind and easy going guy.The new Virtual Symmetry record, eponymously titled, comes out in September and the band heads out on tour with the beloved

That Vintage Boogie with Ian Blurton | Future Now

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/09/01

Meeting Ian Blurton is one of those super cool experiences, because not only do guys like us vibe on a cellular level, but the man actually writes some of the best songs you'll ever enjoy.Ian's been around a long time and it shows in only the best ways. When you kick around the circuit for years, your sincerity cannot be denied and Ian's music proves his commitment to the craft. The new Future Now record, Second Skin, has been out a number of weeks now, and it resonates with fans of old school,

Christian Pacaud Stands in the Gap | Contemplator

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/08/29

This chat has to be one of my favorites. The brain behind the brawny musical endeavor known as Contemplator, Christian Pacaud, is a truly interesting and open guy and his music makes me happy in the best ways.Contemplator takes old school ideas, flips them around, skins them, pumps in calories and nutrients, and lays the new sounds bare for you to groove and stack your day by. It's pretty great stuff, simple and to the point.To quote David Lynch's Twin Peaks, the conversation around the dinner

No Patchwork Required with Robert Elfenbein | The...

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/08/25

The Oklahoma Kid is a metalcore inspiration of the highest order. I became a recent fan and it's easy to say that I'll stay that way. The band has a reputation for really giving it to the fans, and the music hits me so hard, I don't know if I can claim I have 20/20 vision anymore. Maybe with my reading glasses.Their killer bass player, Robert Elfenbein, is a shining example of what it means to be an in the pocket rhythm player and our conversation was a total blast. The band's new album,

Finding Peace in the Storm | Feather Mountain

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/08/18

Feather Mountain is one of the most important bands in the world. They tell stories that penetrate your soul. The melodies are complex and inviting. The subject matter is human and fully realized. It's magic stuff and I'm honored to be friends with the band.Over the last 12 months, we've had a few different chats, and this interview presented today, is an amalgam of those conversations. If it sounds a bit disjointed thematically, it's only because we edited around the variables as best we could,

The Magical Elixir | Stormbound

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/08/11

There's an odd thing that happens in the music business and particularly in the world of heavy metal.People love to categorize. In fact, they love to do it so much, that every band in history despises the question, yet guys like me have to ask it because how else can we turn our listeners onto a new thing? Listeners love to think they are open minded, but secretly, they are looking to hear what they like and are rarely open to new sounds or ideas.Cue Stormbound. The band is not bound (pun intended)

Dusting the Rust Off | Polarity

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/08/04

Meeting the members of Polarity is ultimately the result of a very happy accident.In preparation for an interview with a very well known progressive rock band, I was listening to a song on YouTube. As it happens, the songs end, and inevitably the algorithm brings up a new song, often by the same artist. As I'm in the middle of writing my questions, I hear a very cool intro and a very different sound pours into my headphones. It turns out YouTube's algorithm really wanted me to hear Polarity, so I
