Local Loft Episode 249

Amongst the full plate of ear candy, there will be a hauntingly familiar tune. One you know you've heard before but can't remember the artist. Listen frequently and all this original Chicago area metal, punk & alternative rock will stick in your brain tissue, like butterscotch or caramel stick to your fingertips, and you can't wash it off. 

They heavy guitar riffs and thunderous drum beats of Led Pig are hauntingly familiar to anyone who has followed journeyman singer guitarist Drew (Scott) Noffsinger since he started Late Night Hooligan Riff Raff in 2008. Then Decibel Hogg, and Hatter's Riddle Drew rocks even harder with Led Pig, who's playing their first show in over three years at The Uptown in Westmont November 18th. I talk with him about the upcoming show.

With hard hitting graphic lyrics of urban gun violence and even heavier guitar riffs Chicago hardcore punk and metal rockers Whut? release their long awaited third full length album No Hope No Soul. The first preview track from it paints a bloody picture of The Windy City.

Rock opera has come a long way since The Who's narrative Tommy. Blacken The Day is a Joliet progressive metal and alternative rock band with a classically trained operatic singer in Cassandra Ann. They made their stage debut five years ago this week at The Forge in their hometown. We rock back to when I introduced them for the first time.
