Tales From Dirt Town

Spending enough time on the bottom of the music industry's bootheel to get real used to the taste of asphalt and piss has made West Virginia alt-metal C-listers BOBAFLEX just a little bit bitter. Of course, getting the gear they spent a lifetime accumulating ripped off on tour probably didn't help....

Zen and the Art

A few years ago I said some album or band was "more underground than Rich Hoak in a mine shaft." The former BRUTAL TRUTH man has more than lived up to my lame joke since that band's initial dissolution — as a member of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION, he carries on their tradition of thinking man's ...

Mafia

Legend has it that JAMES BROWN used to make his new records on tour, pretty much as he came up with the hook for each song. He'd pull the bus over in whatever town the band was driving through, hustle everyone into the nearest studio, hum and point and snap his fingers 'till everyone got ...
