Local Loft Episode 241

Summertime came and it's almost gone. One more last time to heat up your device of choice with the original Chicago area and Illinois metal, punk, alternative rock and power pop that blazes a big, long adventurous trail for so many to follow and learn how to capture an audience. 

Chicago post grunge trio Mine Collapse mixes a heavy and melodic hard rock sound with the high-pitched screaming vocal of singer Aaron Roemig. He joins me to talk about the progressive intensity behind their just released debut full length album Delusions.

It will soon be their time to roar, again! 13-Monsters will make an October return, after almost five years, to Liar's Club. I have all the details.

Their blues based ragged hard rock was as earthquake shaking as the roar of the Harleys, they and their ginormous biker fan base revved up. As one of The Boyzz (From Illinois) Michael Tafoya made the soundtrack to a hard partying, workin' hard lifestyle. i talked with Tafoya in The Kat 105.5 studios twelve year ago this week. We rock back to it with tailpipes scorching ass.
