February makes us shiver, but with every new tune from local metal,punk,alt-rock, and prog rock band Local Loft delivers, more than just faces will melt. New awesome music talent is springing forward to induce major headbanging,pogoing and moshing and many more chances to check out the scene live without mother nature interfering.

Burned in Effigy from Elmhurst  started out as a totally instrumental 4 piece band blending elements of classical,jazz and soul into their very aggressive metal attack, With the addition of singer Mark (Smedy) Smedbron, they have greatly expanded their sound. I talk to them before they headline a Sunday night gig at Wire in Berwyn.

Still shocking,still soaking in promiscuity,Sinister Fate returns with a slightly different band lineup,on their first new EP in almost 4 years. The world is not safe from the vocal wrath of shock frontman David Bates again,
