I wanted to do something different on this interview, so I asked DW to discuss the album track by track. I feel an artist can give the best review of his art. So here is the album in DW’s words. From DW: Before I dig into these, I feel I should first make everyone aware…
Horror punk is one of my favorite sub genres of punk rock. It’s the “Red headed step child,” so to say, that corporate greed has yet to spoil it. These bands are few and far between, which means fewer that can call Christ savior. Blast from Oblivion is a new solo outing from Splatter Guts…
Nate Allen has a new solo outing with a full band backing him as well as a new acoustic album. A lot has happened since DTL spoke with him last, so without further a due, let’s catch up. Joshua Lory: It’s been a while since DTL last interviewed you, can you tell us what you’ve…
An interview with Todd XL Stevens In 1993, XL and Death Before Dishonor’s debut album Sodom and America was in heavy rotation in my car stereo. There were only 2 other bands at that time that I can remember doing what would later be called RapCore, the other bands were the obscure MCM and the…
picture by John Daley Sammy Horner has been in the game nearly 30 years now.

Forgetters – S/T. Ex-Jawbreaker/Jets To Brazil singer/songwriter and lyricist extraordinaire Blake Schwartzenbach really made the right album for me this year, dark, brooding, and beautiful. Having J.Robbins produce and play bass doesn’t hurt either. Gasoline Heart – Thanks for Everything. I wrote a longer review for this Raw and emotional, great lyrics. Bill Mallonee –…
On my list of the most overlooked musicians of all time, Monty Colvin is right up at the top. The Galactic Cowboys were brilliant to say the least, with elements of The Beatles, Cheap Trick, and early Metallica along with one of the most energetic live shows I ever saw. I was always baffled how…
“Oh, you’re on MySpace, I don’t like MySpace, I use Facebook.” “Oh, you’re on Facebook, I don’t like Facebook, I use Twitter.” “Oh, you’re on Twitter, I don’t like Twitter, I use NoiseTrade.” “Oh, you’re on NoiseTrade, I don’t like NoiseTrade, I use PureVolume.” “Oh, you’re on PureVolume, I don’t use PureVolume, I use BandCamp.”…
When & where did you start playing? I started playing guitar around 11 years old or so. What kind of bands have you been in? When I was 16 years old I decided that I was ready to be a rock star so I spent a summer in Hollywood as a roadie for a rock band. Back…
