Local Loft Episode 135

Whether it rocks,kicks or bites, as long as it's original and local,you'll discover it. The newest and most powerful metal,punk,prog,alt-rock,and power pop from all over Chicagoland and Illinois.

Four piece Chicago Thrash Metal band Bloodletter works a real old school rapid heart pounding groove like 80s veterans Megadeth, Metal Church and Slayer. They offer up a sneak peak of their fifth record,Funeral Hymns, due out in late September. I've got two new cuts to check out.

Mixing the suspense of a cult classic 1979 thriller with the fast acceleration of a biker run,one southwest suburban sports/concert venue hopes to draw  big crowds to a special drive in movie night. Chicago Punk Grunge trio,Aweful will be one of five bands to rock this Sturgis style gathering.

Nine and ten years ago, Skinwalker and Loveblast produced two distinctive singers in Taran De Pablos and Brian Durbin. We rock back to the Kat 1055 on air studio,when I welcomed both to listeners for the first time.
