JROCK ONSEN

Before any event nay, before leaving your domain, you always have to gear up and do some battle preparations. But, is your ritual for your expedition into the unknown different from time to time? This time we'r...

"Whoa! That was one of the worst releases I have ever heard. I'm burning all my merch." Face it, we all felt this way at some point. Maybe we weren't triggered so easily? Regardless, a band you love will most l...

We're 20 years into the year 2000, we're 20 episodes in and we are looking at how the scene has changed. As fans, we have been through high and low in the community. Surviving the ebb and flow of all the change...

Here we are again, late. I mean I want to blame someone or something but I digress. Anyway, we're here to whine about cameras at shows? What are your opinions? Mazo hates them, that's for sure. There are always...

It's officially a new year, everything is winding down and somehow you made it all the way here with us. First and foremost, my deepest gratitude to those of you who have listened to any of our podcasts, be it ...
