Here we go again. Something we couldn't say all throughout last year. 2021 sees more opportunities for local live shows, and both the familiar and undiscovered bands and solo acts throughout Chicagoland and Illinois are hitting the road.
The Gavel from Antioch in the far Northwest section, almost 90 minutes from downtown Chicago, offers a hard hitting, very fast hardcore metal sound. It's not totally old school eighties speed metal, although the music foundation is well rooted in it. I talk to singer Alex Jarvi and guitarist Jim Mohaupt before they join Joliet's Whut for a gig at Cobra Lounge in the shadow of the United Center in mid July.
Dissona is redfining Rock Opera. It's more traditional opera with modern hardcore metal elements mixed in, including the screaming vocals of Matt Motto. He branches out from the progressive operatic sound of the band for a new industrial electronica project, C3D3.
Genotype has always been the unique mixture of futuristic electronic synthesizers, crunchy distorted guitars and the dual singing personality of Kadie Kirby( half fierce, half intimate and melodic). Back five years ago this week, for my only interview with the full band at Reggie's Music Joint.
