"We don't get no volume control, we don't get no soul." (The Stiffs-1981)

You have total control over the loudness of the music. I have complete control over the size of the volume of original Chicago area metal, punk, alternative rock & power pop. You crank it up, I'll pump up the tunage.

It will get very loud with the angst fueled aggressive hardcore metal of Chicago's 1837 (ETS). They'll supply the ear exploding thunderous songs about teeth eating nightmares & long lost & forgotten family relations. Singer Calvin Spooner & guitarist/co-founder Josue Nieves join me to talk about their new single Obsolete Man.

Chicago punk pop band Lifting Curses makes a soul sacrifice for a heart healthy romance in their new single. Also, a Christmas throwback that knows no calendar restrictions from the late great king of power pop, Cliff Johnson.

Jetpack Audible did their best to not drown out a crowd of strike determined bowlers, as they rocked Tivoli Bowl, around the corner from the historic movie/ concert theatre in Downers Grove five years ago this week with mixture of modern Punk Pop & 70s stoner rock. We rock back to it.
