You have the right...the right to choose!

As you exercise you right to vote on Tuesday, November 5th, also exercise your right to choose your favorite original Chicago area metal, punk, alternative rock and power pop band. This is the most important music of your life. Think of Local Loft as your podcast ballot and vote conscientiously.

Being totally independent of a single genre, Reckless Inc. combines a bluesy Southern Rock guitar twang with a ferocious metal edge. This four man band from the Kankakee area features drummer Travis Zupan, who co fronts the intense hardcore metal band Ephinepic. Reckless Inc. singer Dean Presley joins me to breakdown a few song tales of psychedelic desert car rides and Vigilante wanderers. A taste of what you'll find on their long time in the making self-titled debut album.

There'll be indoor fireworks generated by Chicago Punk Trio Firecat at Punk Rock Tacos 59 in Villa Park this Friday night. And a vehicular switcheroo from veteran Berwyn band Ides Of March, as their prestigious founder Jim Peterik wings his way to a 74th year of Life next Monday.

With a sarcastic day job as an Ed Debevic's waitress, Krysie Ridolphi is first and foremost a prominent singer, who made the switch from goth metal in Deadman'swake to OI! Punk as frontwoman for Evil, Engine. One of Kryssie's bands morphed into the other, officially nine years ago this week, At Brauerhouse In Lombard. I was there to capture it all.
