Cutter's RockCast

Starset is wrapping up its incredible, mind-bending concert experience called  Immersions. Meanwhile, they have been putting out one-off songs that aren't part of a bigger story arc like everything they have done up to this point. Everything in the world of Starset is tied together, from albums to comic books to novels, to music videos. Now while they look to the future to journey into the next er...

Veterans Day is this coming Monday and I thought what a great time to have Cullen back with us, plus lots of new music coming from the Sleep Theory world. Oh and a December tour with Daughtry. If you don't know Cullen Moore, the lead singer and founder of the band Sleep Theory is also a United States Veteran. Now he's living his dream as a musician.

Remember the Monsters are a new band, but one with all the potential in the world to become your new favorite rock band. Working the From First to Last lead singer Andrew De Neef and the rest of the band have been hard at work crafting quality rock songs, and now Andrew is with us on the Rockcast to dig into how this band came to be and why they are someone to pay attention to. 

Set if Off is currently crisscrossing the United States headlining packed shows with From Ashes to New and New Years Day opening. Earlier this week the band randomly and unexpectedly stopped by the studio to say hi, so of course we sat down for a conversation. After Set It Off's friend and producer Jon Lundin was here last week, we can tie it all together this week with Set It Off. Plus this is on...

He's written and produced songs for Falling In Reverse and Set it Off, all while fronting and writing songs for his own band Point North. Jon Lundin is a bit of a renaissance, a hard worker who does it all the way he wants. His band is no different. Point North just put out a new song called "World Vs. Peace" and there's plenty of reason to be excited about that song, and the direction that Point...

Lead singer of the band Fame on Fire, Bryan Kuznitz returns to the Rockcast and my radio show The Cutting Edge Countdown this week to dig into their new album The Death Card.  Joining us from somewhere backstage on the Wage War tour, we talk about the story behind their new album, how it came to be, why tarot cards, opening for Wage War, our love of Avenged Sevenfold, and much more.  For tour date...

Finger Eleven may have written the biggest hit of the 2000s with the song "Paralyzer" but a one-hit wonder they are not. It's been some time since Finger Eleven has been on the big stage and all it took was a call from Creed to get them back, and now with a budding hit song "Adrenaline" they are ready to reclaim their spot as one of rock's elite bands. Lead singer Scott Anderson joins us on the Ro...

You know Jason Hook as the guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch. A few years ago Jason left Five Finger and instead of joining another band in need of his services he ventured out and did his own thing, that thing is called Flat Black. Their debut album is called  Dark Side of the Brain and is available now. The sound is heavy, melodic, and in your face. If you've ever enjoyed his playing than Fla...

Marc LaBelle has been a frequent guest on this podcast and on my radio show The Cutting Edge Countdown over the years, and he's back for more! Dirty Honey is out on the Can't Find the Brakes U.S. headline tour right now and are pushing the album of the same name's third single "Don't Put Out the Fire."

Well, look who's back?! Crobot is here to give us all the details on their new album Obsidian which is out today (Friday.) Crobot have basically gone independent and they are doing things their own way with killer riffs and aggressive rock and roll songs in a way that only Crobot could do. Working with former Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, Clutch frontman Neil Fallon, and even JD from Blac...

John Corabi is currently the lead singer of the straight-ahead rock and roll band The Dead Daisies. A supergroup of sorts with an incredible lineup of musicians they just released (today) their new album Light 'Em Up. John has also spent a lot of time in other bands like Ratt, Union, The Scream, and of course Motley Crue. He rides, he rocks, he's an Eagles fan (we don't hold that against him,) he...

John Allen is the lead singer of the indie, straightforward rock and roll band Stone Horses, who on their own have already had a couple of top 40 rock hits including their latest single "Free." However, John's history goes back as he was also the lead singer of the band Charm City Devils and got his start as the drummer for SR-71. As he describes it "I'm the poor man's Dave Grohl." Flash forward a...

The whole band Shallow Side stopped by the studios and decided to have a little fun in the back room. We went through their entire life cycle as a band and we all agree that Elias from Nonpoint is one of the best dudes on the planet.  Shallow Side's new album  Reflections is available now, wherever you get music from.

Our friend and sometimes collaborator Decker from The Cutting Edge Countdown affiliate Razor 94.7/104.7 in Green Bay, WI caught up with Miles from the band Ice Nine Kills. They talk opening for Metallica, headline shows, playing giant stadiums, horror movies, and of course what's next for Ice Nine Kills. 

Don't just call Royale Lynn another country-rock hybrid from Nashville. Well yes, some of that is true, this talented woman grew up with metal in her veins and is now spreading her wings to show that side of her songwriting ability. Her latest song "Death Wish" features a collaboration with Asking Alexandria singer Danny Worsnop, who is also no stranger to spreading his wings creatively. This week...

Sometimes I feel like I crave the joy and craziness of a Badflower conversation and this one starts with a surprise appearance by my daughter and I almost get kicked off the conversation. Then it's all in on new Badflower music, skateboards, and riding tractors on a farm on the outskirts of Nashville. Badflower is something to behold and with two brand new songs out it's time to have this conversa...

Dorothy Martin has become one of the most sought-after female rock vocalists that exist. Her solo career is nothing to scoff at either with now 3 top ten hits and a new song called "Mud" that she says is going to be "the party rock workout song of the summer!" Dorothy is back on the Rockcast to tell us about this new tune, her new album, being on tour with Creed, and all those guest spots she's do...

When Creed is in your hometown rehearsing for their tour kickoff you don't just have a conversation with their lead singer Scott Stapp, you also talk to their incredible guitar player Mark Tremonti. In part two of this episode of Cutter's Rockcast, we get the Creed reunion from Mark's perspective and Creed's touring rhythm guitarist Eric Friedman. Eric also plays in Mark's solo band Tremonti. This...

Scott Stapp joined me on my morning show before the kickoff of the Creed reunion tour. Scott and I have known each other for a long time and I couldn't be happier for the man. We chatted about the reunion, the tour, the music, his solo album, his sports teams, and even the other band that people love to hate, Nickleback. Enjoy a candid conversation with Scott Stapp for part one of our two-part ser...

Two decades of writing and releasing music while touring the world, yet there's a good chance you may have never heard of the East Coast Punk/Hardcore band Four Year Strong. Hopefully with this episode of the Rockcast, that all changes. Four Year Strong will release what may be their best album yet, Analysis Paralysis on August 9th. With an actual rock single starting to crank up the charts called...

Myles Kennedy is the lead singer of the band Alter Bridge, he is also the lead singer of Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. That much you should know, but Myles is also an accomplished solo artist and on the best vocalists in rock, plus one of the hardest working and one of the nicest people I know. Last week out of nowhere Myles announced his third solo album  The Art of Letting...

Islander jumped on the hard rock scene around 2014, and the band and Mikey became some of my favorites. After a couple of top 20 rock hits the road has been a bit bumpy for the band, but now they are doing it their way and are pumping out the heaviest songs of their career. With a new album on the way June 28th called  Grammy Nominated which was completely fan-funded they are ready to bring their...

You may remember a band called Sleep Signals, if not that's OK, they broke up last year. But, lead singer Robert Cosgrove is back with a new project called Eyes Like Midnight. It's a completely different take on the kind of music Robert loves to create and with no rules in place, they are set to make their mark on the unsuspecting rock world. This band is so new they haven't even played a major co...

You may know Keith as the guitar player and backing singer for Breaking Benjamin. Keith is also a prolific solo artist having just released his new solo album called  Infinity Now. Keith Wallen sits down for a conversation about songwriting, swinging both bands and to complain about TikTok and Spotify. Ok, we both kind of become crotchety old men with that conversation. Honestly though, we're musi...

The Ghost Inside is a SoCal hardcore band who amassed a following doing what any great band does, tour your asses off. In 2015 that was put on hold when the band was involved in a bus accident that caused serious injuries for some in the band and killed their bus driver. Then in 2020, they were back after years of healing only to be stuck because of the Pandemic. Now in 2024 they just put out what...
