Indeed many contemporary bands site…

Interview with Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One
It’s hard to believe how many bands nowadays have either passed or are approaching their twenty year anniversary. Powerman 5000, in existence now since 1991, is still hard at work, writing, recording and releasing new music. Even though the band has gone through several line-up changes over the years, the one constant has always been frontman Spider One.

Deathless is the latest release from the Orange County, California Metal band Throwdown.

Interview with Gwynbleidd frontman Michal Kacunel
Gwynbleidd are an extreme metal band that combine an interesting combination of Black Metal, Death Metal and European Folk Music with terrific results. Their newest release, Nostalgia is loaded with balls-out metal but also contains eerie, ethereal, almost ambient breaks that add variety and dimension, which I found to be quite enjoyable. The artwork for...
Interview with Hollywood Undead frontman Charlie Scene
Whoever said rap/rock was dead? Thanks to bands such as Los Angeles, California’s Hollywood Undead, the genre is alive and well. For those unfamiliar with the group, Hollywood Undead is a six member band that formed in 2005.

Interview with Chimaira lead singer Mark Hunter
Metal band Chimaira has seen its share of ups and downs throughout their eleven years together, including the resignation, and return of drummer Andols Herrick. And yet they have managed to not fall apart and actually grow as a group, even releasing their fifth studio album, The Infection earlier this year. I recently interviewed Chimaira vocalist Mark Hunter...
Interview with Smile Empty Soul frontman Sean Danielsen
In their decade plus together, Smile Empty Soul has certainly been through a lot. From months straight on the road to numerous line-up changes along the way, the band has pretty much seen it all. That said, the group seems to have adjusted comfortably into being a three-piece in recent years after experimenting with a fourth band member in 2006 and...
Video Interview with The Good Times frontman Matthew Almeida
The Good Times have a steadily growing fanbase and a wicked-catchy sound which singer Matt Almeida has coined "party-punk".

Interview with Icarus The Owl frontman Joey Rubenstein & bassist Mike Black
All the way from Portland, Oregon, comes a band with extraordinary talent. Boasting catchy riffs and meaningful lyrics, these three boys sure are out to make it big. Although at this point still relatively unknown, the band is pushing as hard as possible to get the word out about their music. I ran into these guys at the Van's Warped tour in Colombia, MD. Believe it or not, they weren't...
Interview with Burning Brides frontman Dimitri Coats
Even though NXNE is coming to a rest for 2009, there are still amazing bands who played this year that need to be talked about. One of which is Burning Brides. With music that sounds like a bit of a throwback to what some people like to call “the better days of rock and roll,” this band knows how to make straight up rock without sounding stuck in the past. They...

We talked about touring, their…
Interview with Dommin frontman Kris Dommin
Interviewing recently signed bands is always awkward for me, no idea why, it’s just hard to research and find something deep to converse about and the lack of previous recordings available to compare with current albums I guess. Maybe it’s just hard to relate to someone from the opposite side of the continent in an entirely different music scene.
Video Interview with Bison b.c. frontman James Farwell
On Tuesday, April 21st Matt Murphy Interviewed James Farwell, lead singer and guitarist of Bison b.c. in their van behind the Ottawa, Canada-based Babylon night club where they would tear up the stage later that evening with NoMeansNo. They spoke about their pending MTV Live appearance, their love of women and the concept behind their most recent release Quiet Earth.
Interview with Assemble Me frontman Dan Thomson
Ottawa band Assemble Me have been hard at work scheduling tour dates, hitting the road and just getting their name out. And they must be doing a good job. With the positive feedback rolling in regarding their latest release Atelophobia, it seems like things are going to be getting even better for these boys and they won’t risk…
Interview with Bend Sinister frontman Dan Moxon
The Horseshoe Tavern is considered legendary; both for the bands who have played there and how many bands have played there. This said, they definitely aren't legendary for their comfortable backroom seating - they suck! After a couple beers and cigarettes, I went down stairs into a small corner room with Dan from Bend Sinister and…
Interview with Throwing Color lead singer Drew Duddy
A very cool new band with a very cool name is Throwing Color. Throwing Color is a five-piece band from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey who have barely been together a year.

Interview with Rusted Dawn frontman Jeremy Goddard
Although maybe not a typical hotbed for powerful heavy metal music, one of the heaviest bands around these days is Rusted Dawn from New Brunswick. Although still very young, the band has been together for five years now and have already released two EPs, with a debut record on the way very soon. The album will be called The Black Tides of War and…
Interview with The Artist Life frontman Ian Blackwood
Though his old band, Jersey, was one of the first bands I listened to under the punk genre-umbrella back before I even hit high school, Ian Blackwood still manages to keep me entertained through his music.

While they may not be as mainstream as Coldplay, The Matadors are the most popular band of their genre. Since forming fourteen years ago in London, Ontario, The Matadors have invented and popularized HORRORBILLY, a fusion of punk rock and rockabilly styles of music. The band remains the most popular of its genre even…
Interview with Die Mannequin front woman Care Failure
With a guest appearance by Paul Shull, the band’s manager, and the hilarity confined within the beautiful package which is “Care Failure”, this can easily go down as one of my most fun interviews ever.

Interview with Filter lead singer Richard Patrick
Without a doubt, one of the most engaging, interesting and funny musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking to is Richard Patrick of Filter. Richard brought back Filter earlier this year after a five year hiatus while he worked on other musical endeavors and also battled some personal demons. So far, Anthems For The Damned has been very well received and the band has enjoyed some very solid…
Interview with Farewell To Freeway frontman Chris Lambert, keyboardist Michele Walter and drummer Richie Gregor
The last time I had the chance to “speak” (an e-mail interview, which I usually loathe) with Farewell to Freeway, the band was shopping its highly memorable Year Of The Sun EP, In These Wounds, to various labels. Since then, the band has inked a deal with Chicago’s notorious Victory Records, releasing their full-length Definitions in early 2008. While this may be the first taste for many…
Interview with Reckless Sons lead singer Matt Butler
One of the coolest indie rock bands currently in the U.S. is The Reckless Sons from New York City. This four piece has been around now for about four years and are being credited with providing a throwback to the good old days of stripped down and true American rock and roll.

Nightmares is the new four song EP from southern California rockers The Malheruex. The CD is full of choruses and hooks so catchy you will be unable to get them out of your head long after the player has stopped. Combining great songwriting and a brilliant production with big mesmerizing hooks and even bigger guitars this is a must hear debut. The Malheruex’s sound can best be described as a solid Pop-indie Rock.
Interview with Street Drum Corps co-frontman Bobby Alt
There seems to be a certain chemistry that goes along with brothers and bands. Street Drum Corps is the creation of Bobby and Adam Alt, two brothers who along with Frank Zummo have come up with a very interesting take on punk rock flavored music. If the name of the band didn’t already give it away, Street Drum Corps is a percussion based rock group which uses an assortment of odd and obscure instrumentation…

Interview with Joetown frontman Joe
There is something that can be said of groups that allow their music to stand alone. Devoid of gimmicks or Hot Topic garbage, some artists are content to just let the music speak for itself. Enter Joetown, a group hailing from the musical hotbed of Wallingford, CT (sarcasm mode turned off), that has released their debut album Pills And Ammo, an album stripped down to the bare essentials of good…

Interview with Supagroup frontman Chris Lee
If you’re a fan of rock music and you hear the term “supergroup,” your mind most likely immediately jumps to thoughts of Temple of the Dog or Audioslave or Velvet Revolver. Here for you to help mock the rock and roll supergroup is Supagroup, a real band led by Chris and Benji Lee from New Orleans, Louisiana. Supagroup has been going now for roughly a decade and has come up with their very own rock subgenre called…
Interview with Grief Of War frontman Manabu Hirose and lead guitarist Ken Sato
With so many newer bands adopting a classic thrash approach these days, the metal scene is getting cluttered with a lot of third-rate Exodus wannabees. Luckily, there is an elite breed of groups (Municipal Waste, Violator) actually doing the sound justice. Japan’s lone thrash purveyors, Grief of WAR have built a buzz around themselves the old-fashioned way; by writing blistering material and getting praise from the…
Interview with Sound and Fury frontman Luke Metcalf and bassist John Kerns
Musical gimmicks and trends aside, there's nothing quite like a straight up shot of down and dirty rock n' roll. Toronto's Sound and Fury are no-bullshit rock 'n roll, the kind that hits on your girlfriend while you’re in the bathroom or screams in your face after a show. The band just recently completed a Canadian and UK tour alongside punk-rockers SUM 41 and are now preparing for the release of their debut self-titled debut&hellip'
Interview with Ism frontman Andre Mistier
Ism. Seems like we hear that suffix all the time in this day and age, but not only is it a cornerstone of English grammar, it’s also a really cool rock band. Ism hails from New York City and over the last five years, has progressively built up a very strong and loyal following of fans.

Fresh off the release of their latest record Hail Destroyer, the Cancer Bats embarked on an extensive Canadian tour to bring the heavy to the masses.

Interview with Thrice frontman Dustin Kensrue
It’s tough to believe that nearly a decade ago, Dustin Kensrue et al. began a Warped Tour-friendly punk band in sunny Orange County. Though their debut and sophomore albums Identity Crisis and Illusion Of Safety were well appraised by both critics and fans, the band was not bringing anything new to the genre. It was not until the release of the band’s fourth LP Vheissu that Thrice’s full potential became…

Anyone listening Bloodsimple’s Red Harvest for the first time and expecting a run of the mill heavy metal record is about to be hit with a bombshell.

Interview with Machinemade God frontman Flo Velten
Choirs, acoustic guitars, and orchestral arrangements are not elements typically found on a Death Metal record but that is about to change. Machinemade God has pushed the envelope in the genre and has done just that. By incorporating these musical elements into their newest release Masked they have set themselves apart from the rest creating a fresh well produced record. Don’t get the wrong idea though, if it is metal you are after…

On June 27th, in a windy alley outside of the dingy-but-fun venue known as the Reverb in Toronto, Canada, we had the pleasure of briefly chatting with The Red Chord's frontman Guy Kozowyk. In the interview, Guy told us about the band's new album Prey For Eyes, the lack of fights on tour, bus breakdowns (what else is new), new guitarists, and most importantly…
Interview with Intense frontman Sean Hetherington
As Our Army Grows, the newest release from the England based metal band Intense, is just that, INTENSE. The songwriting shows their maturity as musicians and the lyrics are brilliant. Intense recently signed with German based Napalm Records and they are on tour this summer playing festivals throughout Europe and the UK. I recently had an opportunity to speak with Sean Hetherington about the band and their…
Video Interview with All Shall Perish frontman Hernan "Eddie" Hermida
On June 27th, Toronto, Canada was devastated with one hell of a Metal show. There was carnage everywhere, legs and arms flying around, and sweat, spit and blood pouring all over people. It was BRUTAL! During 5 seconds of quiet, we managed to grab All Shall Perish frontman Hernan "Eddie" Hermida and ask him several things about new material, Euro-tours, and BEER!
Interview with the frontman and metal legend himself, Rob Halford
In the slightly more than two years since I co-founded this website, I’ve had the pleasure to interview a wide variety of awesome musicians, but none as influential and legendary as Mr. Rob Halford, lead singer of Judas Priest. Rob has pretty much done and seen it all in his near forty year career with Judas Priest, not to mention his numerous other projects such as Fight, Voyeurs and The Halford Band. Rob recently created his own…
Video Interview with Protest The Hero frontman Rody Walker
T'was a humid, sticky 2nd day of June in Toronto, Canada when we got temporarily relieved from the heat, with some cool tunes. On that day during the last stop of the sick Tour and Loathing tour, PureGrainAudio's Spencer Matulaitis connected with Protest The Hero frontman Rody Walker and spoke to him about pissing on tour bus beds, band fighting, oh... and their new record!
Video Interview with Threat Signal frontman Jon Howard
So on an unseasonably muggy Saturday on June 2nd, Toronto, Canada was host to the last stop of the radical Tour and Loathing tour. Just prior to the musical madness at the Opera House, we got the privilege of speaking with Threat Signal frontman Jon Howard in a small, grungy bar. PureGrainAudio's Spencer Matulaitis spoke with Jon about all that is…
Interview with Protest The Hero frontman Rody Walker
I had the chance to meet up with Protest the Hero vocalist Rody Walker at the London stop on this year’s Tour and Loathing trek, which has the band playing alongside All That Remains (check Spenny’s video interview with frontman Phil Labonte, suckas), Bless the Fall and others. My thoughts on the show are coming shortly, but until then hopefully this interview will suffice as a holdover. The Choad was as well spoken as ever, and one of the…
Interview with Godhead frontman Jason C. Miller
For over a decade frontman Jason C. Miller has been determined to make his Washington, D.C. based band Godhead, a household name. The band was the first band signed to Marilyn Manson’s ill fated label for their 2001 album 2000 Years of Human Error, which landed them a hit with their eerie cover of the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby.” The band returned in 2003 with Evolver, but quickly faded from the limelight when their record…
Interview with 36 Crazyfists frontman Brock Lindow
36 Crazyfists’ frontman Brock Lindow looks out the window of his snow covered home and smiles. In addition to being back home in Alaska for the holidays, Lindow and 36 Crazyfists have finally put two years of record company politics and delays behind them. Furthermore, they also finally released their explosive third album, Rest Inside The Flames. Recorded in New Jersey with producer Sal Villaneuva (Taking Back Sunday…
Interview with Static-X frontman Wayne Static
Remember around the time of the nu-metal revolution at the turn of the century the band with the lead singer guy with the really tall jet black hair? If you do and you can’t remember the band’s name, let me remind you that they’re called Static-X and the fellow in question is named Wayne Static. These guys have been tearing up the metal scene for thirteen years now and have scored some major success along the way. Their debut…
Interview with Kaddisfly frontman Christopher Ruff
Coming to you all the way from Portland, Oregon is the five piece progressive rock band known as Kaddisfly. Named after a small moth-like insect, these guys have been on tour for quite some time before and since the release of their latest record Set Sail The Prairie. In fact, Kaddisfly has been a very active band in terms of touring ever since its formation in the year 2000, winning over fans all across North America.
Video Interview with Gojira frontman Joe Duplantier
During a stop over in Guelph, Ontario in Canada while on tour with Lamb of God, Trivium and Machine Head, French death metallers Gojira were nice enough to afford us an interview. Aboard their green, "green" bus, super-nice, front man Joe Duplantier talked in-depth about several subjects including the band's beginnings, touring North America for the second time and the band's recent success.
Interview with Black Stone Cherry frontman Chris Robertson
One of the most popular rock bands in the US over the last few months has been the southern quartet Black Stone Cherry. Since we last spoke to the band at the end of August, 2006, Black Stone Cherry has risen to the top of the new rock world in North America, largely thanks to their hit single “Lonely Train” and the tireless work ethic of the band that has seen them criss cross North America on tour several times over. Finally and luckily…
Interview with Say Anything frontman Max Bemis
A very interesting new band that is receiving a lot of attention as of late is the group Say Anything. The band is led by drummer Coby Linder and lead singer Max Bemis, a very interesting fellow who has had to endure many ups and downs in his life. Bemis actually was placed in a mental asylum for two weeks during the recording of the band’s album ...Is A Real Boy. Last summer Say Anything recently wrapped up a string of dates with…
Interview with Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix
One of the few survivors of the nu metal, rap/rock movement of the turn of the century is California’s own Papa Roach. At a time, the band was one of the most popular groups in rock and metal music thanks to their smash hit album Infest and song “Last Resort.” Even though that movement has long passed, P. Roach is still a popular band with a huge following of fans that have witnessed the group morph from their rapping days to now…
Interview with Mastodon frontman Brent Hinds
One of the fastest growing metal bands in all of the United States is Mastodon. Mastodon is a group of four guys who play some very hard progressive heavy metal. The band has just recently released their brand new album titled Blood Mountain which has been receiving rave reviews for its cool concept of conquering and surpassing obstacles. In its seven year existence, Mastodon has become known as a working class band, playing…
Interview with Crossfade frontman Ed Sloan
From the southern sunshine of North Carolina comes the rock group known as Crossfade. In their brief history, Crossfade have endured much adversity, including a lengthy delay in the release of their debut album and a member leaving the group, but the band is back and tighter than ever with a new record called Falling Away. Since its recent release, Falling Away has been performing incredibly well for the group, continuing the…
Interview with Black Stone Cherry frontman Chris Robertson
While Kentucky might mostly be known for its derbies and fried chicken, it’s also quite a breeding ground for new music and new bands such as the group known as Black Stone Cherry. The band just released its debut album a few months ago and since its release, the band has been selling tons of records and opening shows for huge bands such as Staind and Three Days Grace. The album’s first single "Lonely Train" has become…
Interview with Hinder frontman Austin Winkler
From straight out of the deep south of the United States comes the no nonsense rock band known as Hinder. These guys have been making major strides towards stardom ever since they jumped on the scene with their hit single "Get Stoned" last year. The guys have also more recently enjoyed another hit with the ballad "Lips of an Angel." The band has been touring like crazy over the last year, playing shows with the likes of…
Interview with Idle Sons frontman Mike Eastick
After years of struggle and hard work, the Burlington, Ontario rock band known as the Idle Sons are finally starting to make a dent in Canada’s new rock scene. Despite the fact that the band has been together for a decade now, they are just starting to now receive mainstream recognition, largely thanks to their major label debut album Sixteen Seasons. The disc was produced by none other than Garth Richardson (a.k.a. GGGarth) who…
Interview with Blanco Diablo frontman Jamie Ray
From deep in the south of North Carolina, USA comes the rock and roll band known as Blanco Diablo. This band is relatively new to the rock scene, but they have already developed a loyal following in the Southern U.S. and of all places, the United Kingdom. The band recently released its debut album entitled Paper Poison Revolution, a collection of no nonsense rock tunes that features some awesome production. Fortunately…
Interview with Greeley Estates frontman Ryan Zimmerman and drummer Brian Champ
A wise man once told me, “You shouldn’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out alive.” So, maybe it was Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder, and maybe he was telling Tara Reid, not me... but the man has a point. Having started out as a joke and naming themselves after a town that smells like fecal matter, Greeley Estates is a perfect example of how Van Wilder’s theory on life can lead you down the road to success. But don’t be fooled. Despite…
Interview with Between The Buried And Me frontman and keyboardist Tommy Rogers
Diversity in music has become a rare quality for many musicians, but what many bands lack, Between the Buried and Me has been making up for. This North Carolina based tech metal band has been putting out albums consistently for six or so years now, each one better than the last. The band’s fourth effort The Anatomy of, a follow up to 2005’s highly acclaimed Alaska, just dropped and consists of pure cover songs. I had the chance…
Interview with (hed) P.E. frontman Jared Gomes
After a couple of years away, the band Hed Planet Earth (better known as Hed P.E.) are back with some brand new basics. The group has just released its latest album, aptly titled Back 2 Base X which was recorded live as a band to help capture the true rawness of their sound. Back 2 Base X also sees Hed P.E. lead singer Jared Gomes take on a new lyrical direction. Rather than his traditional party-time type lyrics, Jared focuses more…
Interview with Parkway Drive frontman Winston McCall
From the land down under comes the metal/hardcore quintet known as Parkway Drive. The band is just on the brink of becoming a household name all around the world thanks to their well received debut album Killing With A Smile, produced by none other than Killswitch Engage’s Adam Dutkiewicz. The album has been performing well all around the world, including Europe where it was just released and where Parkway Drive…
Interview with DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara
Never judge a book by its cover! Yeah I know, everyone’s heard this damn age-old adage before, but to actually live it out is something quite different from speaking it aloud. For me, it was during this interview with DevilDriver frontman and all-around Metal visionary Dez Fafara, that the truth behind this book cover theory couldn’t have been more apparent. You see, I was admittedly a tad nervous when I scored this gig. I mean, I’ve done…
Interview with The Matadors frontman Hooch
Rocking in the name of Satan is what the Matadors are all about. Don’t be fooled by the name though, the only kind of bull being fought off by these matadors is bullshit music that does not rock hard enough. Their album Horrobilly 9000 dropped on Tuesday, May 9th on Stereo Dynamite records and has been a long time in the making for these London, Ontario locals. This incredible album is now available across Canada…
Interview with The Alien Blakk frontman Joshua Craig
One of the most well respected names in all of popular music is the name Joshua Craig Podolsky. Joshua is a multi-talented musician who is not only a wizard on guitar, but also an excellent producer who has worked with some of the biggest names in rock and even pop music. While Joshua has been primarily known for his work with other artists, he has just recently delved into his own musical endeavour with his own band…
Interview with Rikets frontman Scott Rose
While you might think rickets is a medical term used to describe a child with a bulky head, it’s also a hard rock band. Rikets is a six-piece band originating from Cleveland, Ohio who is quickly gathering lots of attention in the hard rock community. The group’s debut EP Anything For the Devil has been receiving much praise since its release last year and the band has been hard at work promoting the disc for months now.
Interview with The Towers Of London frontman Donny Tourette & lead guitarist The Rev
Remember the days of down and dirty, rebellious, hard hitting punk rock? Probably not since most of you likely aren’t old enough to remember the days of the Sex Pistols and their raw and sometimes violent redefinition of rock and roll in the late 1970s. A band that has resurrected some of that Pistols’ rawness and attitude in 2006 is the aptly named London band, The Towers of London.
Interview with Bleeding Through frontman Brandan Schieppati
The day was March 5th, 2006, and I was in downtown Toronto at The Phoenix concert theatre just getting geared up to watch a pile of totally sick bands rock the hell out of the mid-size venue. After a few quick phone calls and a mini walk to the back side of the concert hall, I finally found the tour buses, tour managers, and more importantly Bleeding Through frontman...

Interview with The Subways frontman Billy Lunn & drummer Josh Morgan
Somewhere at 1 PM. Actually, by somewhere I mean the Rivoli on Queen Street. We’re in the back of the bar, where the bands go on stage, amongst stacked tables and chairs. Fluorescent lights flood the room and the environment is nothing like what it will be later tonight, when the lights go down and another band takes the stage. Charlotte is off somewhere else, and I...
Interview with Silverstein frontman Shane Told
2006 is a huge year for Silverstein. They wrapped up a European tour with Simple Plan in February, then they were off on the Take Action! tour, and now, Taste of Chaos. On top of that, they just released their new video for “Discover the Waterfront”, the title track off their latest album, and they’re nominated for Best New Group for the Juno awards! Needless to say, lead...
Interview with Skindred frontman Benji Webbe
Hailing from South Wales in the United Kingdom, Skindred is slowly infecting the musical minds of thousands of people around the globe. This quartet of talented musicians is quite unique and their bombastic mix of Ragga Metal which even at times possesses elements of Punk, Dancehall, and Drum and Bass is immensely addictive. Needless to say this band’s innovative...
Interview with Silverstein frontman Shane Told & drummer Paul Koehler
Having come together in Burlington in 2000, the guys from Silverstein have made quite a name for themselves. After just six years, these guys are already known around the world! 2005 was a huge year for them, but 2006 promises to be even better. Absolute madness I say! The band’s latest release, Discover the Waterfront, has been a huge success since its release last...
Interview with Amon Amarth frontman Johan Hegg
If you’ve not yet heard of Scandinavian Death Metalers Amon Amarth, then you are truly missing out on some damn good shit. In a day and age when music, no matter what genre, sort of begins to meld together, this “huge” quintet (these guys are literally big) is tearing up the world of “loud music” with their standalone Viking and Norse Mythology infused brand of Death Metal.
Interview with Ill Niño frontman Cristian Machado
In a lengthy, candid, and exclusive interview, Ill Niño frontman Cristian Machado bares his very soul in answering questions pertaining to the band’s latest album One Nation Underground, their diverse influences and roots, and his personal take on the current political situation in the United States. I must warn you however, that this interview is damn long. In fact, having run for...
Interview with Project 86 frontman Andrew Schwab
Right out of the warm sunny climate and rock band breeding ground of Orange County, California comes the Christian rock four piece known as Project 86. Despite the fact that the band is just now getting major mainstream recognition, Project 86 has been together for roughly eight years now, released four very successful albums and during this time amassed a considerable fan base across the United States.

After signing with Underground Operations earlier this year, the band released their first full-length album; Rock N' Roll Hates You.
Interview with Aiden frontman wiL Francis
When bands are on the road for long periods of time it’s normal that after a while the musicians themselves will succumb to fatigue. Screw that… they’re bound to be tired as shit! In any case, as I entered the Phoenix Concert Hall in Toronto, Canada in order to conduct my interview with Aiden, it came as no surprise when I learned that frontman wiL Francis...
Interview with Strata frontman Eric Victorino
After the release of the their debut self titled album, Strata spent a very busy year touring across North America, shooting music videos, and doing all of the other necessary band-related publicity that is normally required of an artist. With this year behind them, however, this quartet of sick musicians once again finds themselves locked in the studio.
Interview with 36 Crazyfists frontman Brock Lindow
Alaskan born and bred, 36 Crazyfists have made quite a big name for themselves.

Vocalist Brock Lindow recently took some time to tell us...
Interview with Death By Stereo frontman Efrem Schulz
There is absolutely nothing dead about Death by Stereo. In fact, with the release of the band’s fourth full-length disc entitled Death for Life, they are seemingly more alive than ever before. Sure they might have a running theme of death which is present in their band name as well as in the title of every record they have ever released...
Interview with Index Case frontman Joe Ansley
Over the past seven years Index Case has been busy as heck establishing themselves as a credible loud music act. Hailing from Indianola, Iowa (a small city neighbouring the much more renowned Des Moines; hometown of Metal legends Slipknot), Index Case essentially formed when a few high school friends one day decided to start jamming together.
Interview with Backmask frontman Shane McFee
It's not every day that a former scholar of classical music and an avid fan of Beethoven, Bach, and Vivaldi is also a long-haired metalhead. But in this case, Shane McFee, lead singer of the metal band Backmask, is exactly that. If you're wondering where you've heard the name McFee before, rest assured that it's not some trendy new McDonald's meal.
Interview with Unearth frontman Trevor Phipps
Massachusetts based Unearth has literally been torn out of the cold, dark ground and launched to a warmer and brighter new place. Formed seven years ago, Unearth has endured a gruelling hard road to get where they are today. Having played with an innumerable amount of bands in an equally incomprehensible amount of tours and gigs...
Interview with Hurst frontman Trevor Hurst
On the night of his most recent stop in Toronto, former Econoline Crush frontman, Trevor Hurst, sat down to chat with Aaron Willschick to discuss the forming of his new band, Hurst, the end of Econoline Crush, the new album among other things.
Interview with frontman Virginia Creeper
Don’t be confused by the look or the sound. Virginia Creeper is not Glam metal and not industrial metal. Rather Virginia Creeper is self proclaimed Prophetic Industrial Metal. Hailing from New York, Virginia Creeper, (incidentally the name of the vocalist and the band) combine grinding guitars and heavy beats with a message heavy on death and dying.
Interview with Theory Of A Deadman frontman Tyler Connolly
“Gasoline is what it takes to get things moving and this is the album that's going to take us from one place to another.” Those are the words of Tyler Connolly the front man for the Vancouver band Theory of a Deadman who are tearing up the charts and entertaining crowds throughout the country.
Interview with Universal Dropout frontman Steve Alex
As the frontman for the Tampa based band 4 Star Riot, Steve Alex is no stranger to the music scene. With his newest project Universal Dropout he switches gears a little bit going from the power pop/rock sound of Four Star Riot to a more R&B/ Bluesy sound that suits him well. Described as “that classic blend of sensitivity and swagger, Alex cites influences...

When INK recently hit up Toronto, Chris Gonda had the opportunity to chat with these Greece natives. They discussed the bands origin, the major differences between the Greek and North American music scenes, and much more.
Interview with Four Star Riot frontman Steve Alex

It is the true yard-stick by which an artist can be measured.” These are the words of Steve Alex, frontman of the rock quartet Four Star Riot that is taking the Tampa Bay music scene by storm. After spending the last two years playing with national bands such as Nine Days, Lit, Sum41, Sugar Cult, and Alien Ant Farm...
Interview with Myke Harrison
Myke Harrison is an extremely talented Canadian musician currently residing in Toronto, Ontario. Having spent almost his entire life impressed in music, only as recently as 2004 did he release a debut solo project entitled "The Collected Apologies of Myke Harrison".
