The five-piece instrumental band, The Royal Arctic Institute, has been making waves in the instrumental sector for the past few years, and they’re ready to share their latest effort titled From Catnap to Coma on February 4th, 2022!
Imagine forming a band in the late 90s era of Nu-Metal, Post Grunge and Hardcore surrounded by so much talent and inspiration and making it out of that to go on and create music for twenty-plus years.
John’s burning passion and fire to play the music which has come to define his legacy is readily apparent throughout the album.
Recently, we caught up with veteran singer and singular Metal talent, Dani Filth. Among other things, we touch on what he’s been up to during the lockdown, his origins in music, Cradle Of Filth’s newest music, and a whole lot more.
It’s no secret we’re currently in a retro video game bubble that just seems to keep on expanding. and expanding without remorse. or care for the collectors who get stuck in it. Honestly, who knows when or if it will burst, and how explosive it will be.
There is a tremendous amount of history to cover when it comes to The Moody Blues, from the invention of Prog Rock to the mid-70s break, and subsequent rocky reunion, and a whole lot more. John was an absolute pleasure to speak to, and we cover it all in this career-spanning interview.
For many fans, it was the release of genre staple, Ocean Avenue, that captured the hearts of millions, and propelled Yellowcard forward unto an unsuspecting music scene, where they would tour the world for over a decade, including the gone but not forgotten Vans Warped Tour shows.
Every megaband has its unsung heroes and every platinum album is greater than the sum of its parts. While many know Mark Knopfler, the guitar virtuoso, and de facto leader of Dire Straits, many aren’t aware of the rest of the bands’ important contributions. Enter Guy Fletcher.
At the end of the day, whether or not we are aware of them, Mark Stein is bringing to light issues that need to be brought up, talked about, and rectified through music, and a message of hope, peace, and togetherness.
