Local Loft Episode 125

Music soothes the savage looting,rioting beast. Lyrics may be violent and  aggressive, but no one will suffer any physical abuse in listening to the wide variety of hard rock,metal,punk,alt rock and prog from around Chicagoland and Illinois.

I first introduced Chicago's Sawbuck in the Fall of 2017. The 4 piece alt metal band from the city's South Side knows how to survive a violent situation, as they prove with hard hitting, yet heartfelt tunes from their just released self titled debut EP.

The former Chicago Metal Alliance threw three of the biggest gatherings of local Metal, mostly focusing on female talent that could rock, and in most cases, outrock, their male equivalents on stage. We rock back to the first CMA Queens of Metal show at the former Bada Brew in June 2013, and the fourth Legions Massacred By Queens at the ex Bobby McGees in Chicago Ridge. Plus Kankakee's Ephinepic rocks away images and sad truths of a decaying American society.

Along with these, your ear hairs are falling out, but your teeth stay stable to:
