Local Loft Episode 92

Another year almost over,and a new one about to begin. Before we discover what new,and always promising and exciting acts the Chicagoland and Illinois hard rock and metal scene has to offer, time to refresh our musical memory on the past 12 months (well not totally)

Qualia is the new and unique band put together by Steve Eldridge, who a wiz at producing modern local metal acts like One Steel Wound and Tanzen,not to mention his own bands Sky Machine and Delightful Downfall.
