An Oooey Gooey Sticky Mess with Tommy Meehan | Squid...

Rockstar Superhero ·

2024/03/19

In the music business, there are the normies, there are the crazies, and there are the in-betweens. There also happens to be an unspoken netherworld that aligns with something a little stranger and sits outside the boundaries of pretty much everything you know.My guest today, Tommy Meehan, dislikes the comparisons to the influences of his youth, but it's hard not to hear the tones that built the man. His absurdist venom-spouting new act, Squid Pisser, is nothing I've ever heard before.. and that

Scott WINO Weinrich is everything I ever wanted to be when I grew up. He's a pure soul, a fantastic guitarist and vocalist and boy... does he mean business.

2024/02/05

Recently, an email arrived from a trusted promotional source in the UK, and much to my surprise it was to let me know about a new band that had risen from the ashes of a legendary metallic hardcore act. I was surprised that a favorite band of mine, Above All, had gone into indefinite hiatus.However, the same musical pause had birthed a new project that excited me because my buddy, Tony Maddocks, of the aforementioned Above All, had a new thing and he was fronting it. We had to get together to chat

Rockstar Superhero ·

2024/02/02

Graham Russell is a true musical icon.He and his musical partner of 46 years, Russell Hitchcock, formed Air Supply, the song writing super duo, in the early 70's and really never looked back.Graham's childhood was anything but normal, leaving him without a mother at a very early age. However, these stark beginnings formed in him in a sort of poetry that eventually found its way into the hearts of millions of fans, as Air Supply became a genre unto itself. He is, and will always be, a passionate man,

The Distinct Difference with Ben Fordham | Swarm6ix

2024/01/29

I might say this more than I'd like to admit, but this time I'm 100% positive that UK based trapmetal band, Swarm6ix, is new, inspiring, and confrontational. Lead singer, Ben Fordham, is a quiet and complex man and I'm beyond thrilled he's my guest today. Enjoy the conversation with this fantastic human.

Rockstar Superhero ·

2023/12/12

Liam O'Connell is the vocalist and guitarist of My Octopus Mind, a Bristol based experimental rock band and one I've become a fan of in recent weeks. Liam is a kind and transparent guest, which makes him a perfect fit for our show. At times, our conversation was challenging, which made it worth the time to connect.Liam was openly candid about his life within the structure of music, the desire to overcome that which is seen as confusing or odd to an audience, and his complete satisfaction with

The Reincarnation of Glam with Harry Springer | Moon...

Rockstar Superhero ·

2023/11/20

Harry Springer may compose, produce and perform all of Moon Walker's music in his bedroom, but the electrifying and eclectic sounds feel more fitting for a stadium. It's just that good. That immediate. When Harry formed Moon Walker at the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic, he was looking for a way to pass time and maybe make some extra money selling songs to music libraries. It turns out a lot of things were going to change. Quickly. I am thrilled that Harry shared so much about his history and what

Facing the Consequences with Charles Cure | Spiritkiller

Rockstar Superhero ·

2023/04/30

When I think of all the people I've interviewed over the years, very few fall into that short list of people I not only admire as a creative, but one in which I genuinely feel connected to on a cellular level.New York state's own Charles Cure, singer for the legendary hardcore band, Hush, has a new project that is way more than just another new idea. 'Spiritkiller,' which may be the best name for a band ever, is that which Charles is a part of, and who's music you are listening to at this very

Today, on Rockstar Superhero, I got to meet another weirdo and now I get to share him with you.Barrett Holcomb is a super fun guy, a very talented musician, arranger, and sonic landscape producer who is on a sure fire path to being what we call, 'A Somebody.'Barrett, more affectionately known as Jon of Mars, is a lover of all genres and has a deep musical vocabulary, especially when you consider how young he is. After our interview, he and I talked about favorite bands for another 70 minutes. He's

The Miserable Genre with Vojta Pačesný | Seeing Things

Rockstar Superhero ·

2023/03/30

Vojta Pačesný is such a kind and interesting guy. I don't get to talk to many musicians from the former Eastern Bloc in Europe, so learning more about who they are, and what makes their culture and music different, is a really fun process.As it worked out, I was able to get a good 40 minutes with Vojta, talking about his awesome band, Seeing Things, and chatting about life as a musician and local influencer. The best part of these kinds of interviews are the discovery of a new band, a new sound, and

Chris Hathcock is known as creative mind and songwriter for the progressive metal band, The Reticent. Chris is also known as a Grammy nominated music educator, and is one of the most interesting, and challenging, humans I've met over my years as a performing artist.I've known Chris for awhile now, and in that time, I've fallen in love with his musical projects. I've also witnessed him suffer traumatic loss at an almost legendary scale. Like all of us, Chris has lost family members and friends over

The Night was Sultry | Wowashwow

Rockstar Superhero ·

2023/03/16

Wowashwow is a foray into a relatively unknown world for me.Growing up, I fancied myself a listener of all types of music... I was open to all genres, but I never really gave those deep soul grooves a chance, because I didn't understand where they were coming from or what they were saying... I don't think I was trying too hard, either.Today, when I hear a new soul groove or delve into certain hip hop singles, I hear aspects that pop, but don't capture me too much. That is until I heard Wow's new

On the show today, I spoke to a guitarist who's band is coming up so fast that their legend in the progressive hard rock world seems assured.My chat today with Paul Visser from the supremely talented London based trio, Black Orchid Empire, was an utter joy. When I was growing up, I struggled to find musicians like Paul, because they are so rare. He has his own voice, truly his own style and sound, and he's found 2 other musicians, who, in turn, have made Black Orchid Empire into a must listen.You

There aren't many surviving old school punk musicians. Many of them have gone on to that great gig in the sky, but those that have survived the last 45 years are the true legacy artists of a long gone generation. Mention Johnny Rotten, Siouxsie Sioux, Nina Hagen, or Henry Rollins and you know they changed the musical landscape forever, and their influence is far reaching.Of all the surviving punks, John Robb is a truly influential human, known not only as a founding member of the legendary

There's a new sheriff in town.I know I'm prone to hyperbole, but on rare occasion, I'm so taken by a guest that I stray off topic and find myself trying to get back to the point of the interview. Fortunately, my joy in talking to Fia Nyxx kept me engaged and we talked about the true depth of her work and where she's going.Let me tell you... there is nothing that's gonna stop this young lady.

All of the Above | In Fear

2023/01/23

Some bands stick to something tried and true, and some bands take leaps guaranteed to kill any momentum they've built along the way. My guests today, the boys from In Fear, demonstrate that somewhere in the middle lies the sweetest of spots: A place called home where the riffs are ferocious but still feel like a place that Jack built years ago when you weren't quite ready for what comes next.In Fear's new release comes out in May of 2023, but in the interim, they're working hard to keep your whistle

This week on the show, we break some new ground. It's not often we are afforded a chat with musical royalty, but today... indeed we are. Bassist Steve McDonald started his professional music career at 11 years old. Within a few years, he and his brother Jeff started the seminal power pop band, Redd Kross and, less than 10 years later, played the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.30 years later, Steve is still killing it, standing in the ceremonial center, providing ground support for the legendary sludge

Marlee XX is here to stay.She's a contemplative talent, aware of her persona and style and confidently operates within the landscape she will own soon enough. I'm so happy to have had her on my show.There is going to come a day, in the not so distant future where Marlee and her vocal stylings, whether rap, soul, or afrobeat (or heck... pick a genre) will be very publicly recognized. She's already on the nominations and awards train and more is coming, I assure you.I'm truly grateful to have
