Chill Out!

Mother Nature has taken that advice too seriously in the second weekend of January 2024, with an ugly onslaught of snow, and -20 to -40 wind chills. Northwest Indiana's Eyes Of Anguish will de-ice your frozen brain tissue, with a sonic assault of hardcore and melodic metal, as they rock The Quarry Ballroom Live this Saturday, January 20th. But it won't be a total defrosting. Their new single, Glaciers, puts a reinforcing deep freeze back in, but lyrical isolation is more serious. Singer Joey Wise, guitarist David Fishel & drummer Eric Yakovetz join me to preview the upcoming gig.

Winter's wrath was no match for a promising Chicago female fronted rock band ten years ago this week. Phosphene braved a wicked combo of gusty winds and blowing snow to journey down to the Kat 105.5 studio in Kankakee to share a heartwarming silence breaking unplugged rendition of their radio friendly melodic hard rock. M & R Rush won't strut like a Stray Cat with their newest single, which aims to leave no town, small or big, un rocked. Read all about them and then get signed proof of witness the definitive story of the Boyzz from Illinois from one of the band's original members at a special book signing in the Illinois Rock Museum in Joliet this coming weekend.

 

Central Disorder had a packed crowd of headbangers in order five years ago this week, debuting their new full-length album, Eradication, at Sullivan's Pub in Midlothian. We rock back to it.
