Local Loft Episode 314

Like the coldest Winter chill (Alice in Chains 1995)

 

Chilling out for you doesn't always mean rest and relaxation. Sometimes you need to let loose and get into a adrenaline rush to keep up with the heavy fast and furious groove of the original Chicagoland metal, pink, alternative rock and power pop. Go ahead and sweat it. Local Loft has the kickin' soundtrack to get your mosh filled groove on.

It's a mostly punky groove this tome around. Leading off with the South Side Chicago hardcore punk act Brainbleed. This four-piece kicks it loud and proud in your face on Saturday, February 24th with Shitizen and x.Oracles.x at The Outtaspace In Berwyn with hard hitting songs about sex offenders getting caught in the act via the almighty I Phone and a romantic relationship with a bitter cold unfriendly climax. Guitarist Jim of Brainbleed joins me to preview the end of February show.

Brauerhouse in Lombard never turned a cold shoulder and promising Chicago area original music acts, until new owners came in. What went wrong? It was a dishonest past of the previous owner which made the state of the double stage bar and rock venue spin out of control. I have a update for a future update which doesn't bode well for original local music to be featured. While 13 Monsters scares up another return gig this Friday at Burlington Bar.

With a name of Speaking With Ghosts, you'd expect crowds to be scared away, but the four-man Chicago metalcore band had a big crowd brave a snowy night at Wire in Berwyn seven years ago this week. We rock back to it.

Rock with your shadow in unison, and there will be an early Spring (in your mosh and pogo moves) with original Chicagoland metal, punk, alternative rock and power pop from:

BrainBleed -Something's Gotta Change
