Crunchy & Crackly
That's the only combo I can use to describe this 324th edition of the extensive podcast of original Chicagoland metal. punk, alternative rock and power pop. The focus is mostly on Punk Rock Tacos and Record Store Day. Both fall on the same day....4/20!
Safe to say this Saturday offers a nourishing good time in more ways than one. Just watch how much liquid alcohol beverage you consume. If you don't hurl from too many brews, you might just toss cookies over the mere name of Johnny...

Safe to say this Saturday offers a nourishing good time in more ways than one. Just watch how much liquid alcohol beverage you consume. If you don't hurl from too many brews, you might just toss cookies over the mere name of Johnny Vomit. This four-piece Chicago hardcore punk band brings a ultra-fast, controversial blend of punk and thrash metal as headliners of Punk Rock Tacos 47, Saturday at Cemitas Poblanas in Villa Park. I talk with Johnny himself about the You Tube banning of their new video Tuna Taco (not yet on the PRT food menu) and songs against brain devouring zombies and intense hangovers.
There's a food related tribute to forgotten power pop icon Jim Ellison of Material Issue (on what would've been his 60th birthday this Thursday). Vaudevileins don't salute UFO in the title track to their just released sixth album. And a spin from a split 7-inch white vinyl EP you can't bite into.
The Kat 105.5 was starting to break up 10 years ago this month. I introduced a Chicago Ridge based melodic hard rock band, Our Broken View, who proved radio impact and reach of mainstream rock and metal wasn't limited to national acts from Shinedown to Pop Evil. Five years after they first tore up The Kat airwaves on our local music show Homegrown Tones, they reunited for a gig a TC's Too in their native Chicago Ridge, featured on the 100th episode of Local Loft. We rock back to it.
