Cutter's RockCast

To be honest I've been following In This Moment since the very beginning. They were a metal band and I at the time hosted a metal radio show. So when Maria Brink said she'd join me from quarantine for a quick conversation I of course jumped on it. We talk the new album 'Mother,' the visual and artist aspect of In This Moment and even how these new cover songs came about.

Finally abel to start having some music conversations again and I couldn't be happier to have my first one since lockdown be with Gavin Rossdale of Bush. Why? Cause it's Gavin Rossdale of Bush. New song is out called "Flowers on a Grave" and the new album 'Kingdom' will be out July 17th. We talk isolation concerts, and what might happen to real concerts this year. Of course we talk new and old mus...

First of all nothing makes you miss your co-host more than talking to yourself for an hour, but it's a topic that I love digging into, rock music history. Take all the decades of popular recorded music and the 90's may be the most eclectic decade of them all. Louder Sound along with classicrock.com polled their readers to get the list of the top rock albums of the 90's. So I grabbed a drink turned...

Sometimes you just have to make things work. As soon as Ded released their new song "A Mannequin Idol" I knew I wanted to catch up with the band's singer Joe Cotela. Isolation/Quarantine has of course made these conversations a little more difficult. So I reached out and sent him some questions. Now for this episode of the Rockcast it's Joe interviewing himself. Enjoy!

Sean Dowdell is the drummer and founding member of the band Grey Daze. A band that rose to popularity in the late 90's before disbanding in 1998. You care because that have re-recorded a bunch of songs for a new album called 'Amends' due out on June 26th. Oh and the lead singer of this band was Chester Bennington.

With the pandemic of the Covid-19 virus it's been difficult for Kaytie and I to get together and do the podcast. Hell it's difficult to even leave the house. As our state like so many others was about to go on lockdown I grabbed my mobile set up and snuck out to Kaytie's apartment. We made a drink and turned on the mics to catch up for a bit. It's funny that in the midst of all this the most talke...

Windsor, Ontario, Canada's The Blue Stones stopped by the studio recently to introduce themselves and of course brought their acoustics with them. This two piece band came together back in 2011 and after having some minor success with the song "Black Holes (Solid Ground)" their latest single called "Shakin' Off the Rust" is about to become a top 10 rock song. It's time we meet Tarek and Justin of...

"Antisocialist" is the name of the brand new Asking Alexandria song that was released on the day of this podcast. 'Like a House on Fire' is the name of their 6th studio album due out on May 15th. In honor let's talk to guitarist Ben Bruce about the new record, the evolution of the band, the new song, and why we don't care about internet haters, but we love the supporters.

By this point you should know that we like to just turn on the mics and see what happens. There's nothing better then doing that when there's a band in studio with us. The band Bones UK, Carmen, Rosie and Heavy joined Kaytie and I in studio ahead of a tour stop to talk and play some tunes, and that they did! Keep in mind this podcast is as it happened and completely unedited. You hear stuff that y...

James "Munky" Shaffer is of course the guitarist for the legendary Bakersfield, CA band Korn. This past September Korn released their 13th studio album 'The Nothing.' This album should go down as yet another Korn classic. Munky joins me to talk about the clarity of the record, their current tour with Breaking Benjamin & Bones UK, and that one of show with System of a Down, Faith No More and Helmet...

Kaytie and I went backstage, well actually it was in the tour bus which was parked out front of The Bottom Lounge in Chicago to catch up with Bert Mccracken, lead singer of The Used. We talk new album, the power of the punk rock emo kid, playing clubs versus arenas and how they just might be touring with a band that The Used had taken out on tour almost 20 years ago that are now reunited and have...

There is nothing better than live music. No matter what's going on in your live you can be put in a place of happiness and your soul can be soothed with live music. To hear your favorites live, man there's nothing better. But what about those opening bands? You know, the baby bands, the new bands, the underground bands. This week's discussion is all about why you need to get the shows early or pay...

A couple of weeks ago when we say our old friend Dorothy post about something called Breast Implant Illness and how she wanted to get the word out I immediately reached out and said let's do this. She tells her story of how she realized she had this illness and now wants to help others. Oh and there's new music on the way!!! @dorothy @cuttermedia @KTRGrocks

After releasing their 6th studio album 'Walk The Sky' this past October it's time for more touring. Guitarist Mark Tremonti goes through the album, the tour and even how difficult it is to play a sitar. I'm still hoping to get a free guitar lesson from him. Come on Mark, please? @marktremonti @alterbridge @KTRGrocks @cuttermedia

While yes that sounds like the perfect title for a comeback album by an old school punk rock band, it does hold true for the subject of this week's Cutter and Kaytie only episode of Cutter's Rockcast. You may have or may not have seen the news that a major company within our industry of radio and entertainment laid off around a thousand people in order to move forward with a more technology focus....

After a few weeks off, we're back!! For the first episode of Cutter's Rockcast of 2020 who better to join us in studio than Danny Worsnop? He's of course the lead singer of Asking Alexandria, also We Are Harlot and is currently on the road in support of his latest solo album 'Shades of Blue.' We catch up and then Danny plays two songs acoustic. Please remember to leave a rating and hit the subscri...

As we start to round out the year 2019 Kaytie and I spend some time talking about our favorite records of the year. She's got hers and I've got mine, but also the industry website allaccess.com poles the entire rock radio industry every year and we've got their top 5 of 2019 as well. Kaytie: @KTRGrocks Cutter: @cuttermedia

Ahead of a stop in Oshkosh, WI on Sunday December 8th, drummer Sam Loeffler of Chevelle checked in with me. Chevelle have been working on what will be their 10th album, but there's been some changes. Long time bassist and Loeffler brother in law Dean Bernardini is leaving the band to stay home with his family. What's up with their label situation? Are they still on Epic Records? And how do you rem...

Ahead of their Freak Show Tour stop in our hometown of Green Bay, New Zealand's Like a Storm stopped by to have a chat with Kaytie and I. The whole tour is free to get in and their celebrating 5 years of their first major single "Love The Way You Hate Me." Like A Storm: @likeastorm Kaytie: @ktrgrocks Cutter: @cuttermedia

You know Jamey Jasta as the lead singer and front man for Hatebreed. You may remember Jamey as the host of MTV2's Headbanger's Ball, or maybe from his very popular podcast The Jasta Show. There's also his solo band simply called Jasta. Oh and there was this band he did called Kingdom of Sorrow. Jamey is a busy dude, but an extremely talented one at that. What an honor for me to have Jamey do the R...

Adam Gontier is the lead singer of the band Saint Asonia. A band that he started with Mike Mushok of Staind after he left Three Days Grace. Now back with their second record 'Flawed Design' and a top ten song that features Sully Erna of Godsmack it's time to catch up with Adam. Adam Gontier: @gontierofficial Saint Asonia: @saintasonia Cutter: @cuttermeida

I honestly can't remember why this episode is titled Grammys and Sex. We def go through the grammy nominations for the 4 rock categories that came out this week. It's Kaytie and I so I'm sure there's also some sort of sexual commentary. Cutter: @cuttermedia Kaytie: @KTRGrocks

You know Clint Lowery as the guitarist for the band Sevendust and also maybe from Dark New Day and even his work with Seether. After writing and working on it for a few years, Clint is about to release his first solo album, 'God Bless the Renegades' due out on January 31st. The first single is out now called "Kings" and if you know or have been a fan Clint's previous work you'll immediately fall i...

With Kaytie being on vacation I decided to invite some friends to co-host this week's episode of Cutter's Rockcast. I wanted to get into metal-core, death-core and whatever other sub genre name you want to come up with. Plus of course the art of the "blegh." Luna Nicole is yes my girlfriend, she is also an accomplished pole dancer/model who's been in Inked Magazine and has now starred in two music...

Eric Vanlerberghe is one of the singers for the band I Prevail. I caught up with Eric backstage in Chicago during the Degenerates Tour. The tour that features A Day To Remember headlining, I Prevail, Beartooth and Can't Swim. We dig into their latest album 'Trauma,' what our favorite songs are, the intense theme of the album and why Eric thinks it has resonated with so many people. Plus of course...
