House of Good Tires (Hall Of Records). Review by Roi Tamkin.

Another take on the Eninem story, served up with all the restraint we’ve come to love from David Lee Beowülf.

On the occasion of his first solo album, Iommi, Bryan Reesman sits down with the dark lord of metal himself to discuss unusual collaborations, his brief stint in Jethro Tull, and why Black Sabbath were the real inspiration behind Spinal Tap.

Music Midtown is a great chance to catch bands you might never get to see otherwise. Frank Mullen took some chances at this year’s festival in Atlanta, and found out what he’d been missing from the likes of Jimmy Cliff, BR5-49, the Jungle Brothers, and Bjorn Again, as well as a pre-Noel Gallagher walk-out Oasis.

Why does the Unband rock so hard? That’s what Gail Worley asked singer/guitarist Matt Pierce of the one band that parties so hard that they had to move to New York after being banned from every club in Boston. It’s all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll!

David T. Lindsay isn’t afraid to tell you what he believes, no matter how politically incorrect some may find his ideas.
