Local Loft Episode 90

Another bountiful selection of original hard rock.metal,alt-rock,punk & more from the Chicagoland area & state of Illinois to stuff your ears & fill your life with the recommended daily allowance of great tuneage.

Sometimes it's the look,not just the sound that draws a band or artist to the music fan. In the case of Kankakee's Carrying Torches,it's not really the facial hair of the band members that's a distinguishing quality,although it helps when you play the annual event of beards and riffs,Mustache Fest in Joliet. That's where I caught up with the four piece band,promoting their second EP,Strangers with it's diverse mix of melodic rock & spacey synthesizers. I talk to the band about their songs from Elder Brewing in Joliet.

Black Road isn't going forward into Thanksgiving.Suzi Uzi and the band are still rocking a Halloween witchy groove on their extensive new single, while Veilside puts their distinctive melodic hard rockin groove on pause for the future.

Along with them,your ear & brain cavities are being musically filled by:
