Local Loft Episode 148

Nothing lasts forever, even nightmarish years like 2020. We will all be thankful when this horrific last twelve months gives way to 2021. If there's anything good about it, it's the always exciting and compelling Chicagoland and Ilinois music scene. A scene you can discover and follow with Local Loft.

Braidwood metal act Broadcast The Signal extensively covers at least two big headline making events of 2020 (police violence protest and Jeffery Epstein's killing) in the lyrics of thier debut album, World On Fire Check out two new tracks from it.

Black Wednesday will not consist of big crowds looking for a turkey free good time. Chicago grunge band Death Pop Radio hopes to rock on despite COVID pandemic limitations in Chicago's Northwest burbs.

Veteran rockers Lynch make a surprise Rose-y comeback, as we rock back ten thanksgivings ago when they plugged in and rocked live in the Kat 105.5 studios in Kankakee. And power pop legend Cliff Johnson relives his Off Broadway glory days with his one and only visit to The Kat studio in November 2010.
