The crunch of hard-shell ground beef combinations blends in with the thunderous crunch or ultra loud guitars and pounding drums, Friday night at Cemitas Poblanas in Villa Park. Your attentions span stays fixed on A.D.D. (Analog Digital Disorder, who bring over two decades of power metal groove with them. The fiery vocal of Margaret Young (Matilda Moon). The twin lead guitar attack of Jeremy Sparta and Dave Adams. The sizzle of ground beef and the vibration of the Cemitas Poblanas roof makes for a delicious and rocking one two punch. Joining A.D.D. is Wolfram, this four Chicago hard rock band will get an expanded fan base in playing Rock N Wheels, June 11th in Addison with Lita Ford and ex Skid Row frontman/singer Sebastian Bach. They tear it up in Villa Park Friday with a melodic power rock sound reminiscent of Metallica and Godsmack, playing songs from their 2024 debut album, Sin City. I talk with Wolfram singer Nate DeVan.
Almost four years in the making, veteran power metal duo GraveReign returns with a killer new single for their second albums, Icon Of The Accursed. With the master shredding of axe man extraordinaire David Demon Shankle and the earth-shaking vocals of Tony Engel, the album preview is a modern-day hard rock twist on a Victorian London murderer. It makes its Local Loft premier. The bon Mots hope to be the next BIG STAR of the annual International Pop Overthrow, beginning this Friday at Montrose Saloon.
A.D.D. captured the full, un-disordered attention of The Kat 105.5 listeners, first playing unplugged in our on air studio, fifteen years ago this week. We rock back to it.
