Winter chased by Springtime,but you,the local music fan, are not chased away from the new original metal,alt-rock,punk,punk pop and grunge music that is in great abundance throughout the Chicagoland area and state of Illinois,Keep in toujch with bands and artists that will keep you coming back for more, on another jam packed edition of Local Loft.

From the Berwyn,Riverside and Downers Grove areas come Cliffhanger. The five man punk pop band was discovered by an active pogoing crowd at the 2017 Vans Warped Tour in Milwaukee. I talk to them as they unleash their upbeat tunes from their new EP,Old Wounds, on a Sunday night crowd at Wire in Berwyn.

Oblivion Zero polishes their not so basic Metal sound of extensive instrumental heavy guitar solos and melodic vocals on their new full length CD,Reverant,which they'll lay on the public at a release show in Braidwood.

It a kick ass combo of Old School thrash Metal and very young talent , with Misfire, a four man band from New Lenox who sound like a Metallica rebirth,but not totally.
