The Spirit of Rock and Roll with Bobaflex

Marty McCoy of Bobaflex is a bonafide rock and roller in the grand old style. We got to sit down and talk about why he loves the genre, and how he seeks to reflect that in his own music. Page 34

Is It A Dream? An Interview with Toothgrinder’s Wills Weller

The mathematicians and madmen who from Asbury Park, New Jersey’s Toothgrinder have arrived in a big way. After years on the road, Nocturnal Masquerade, their debut full-length has been spinning heads throughout the worlds of rock and metal. Wills Weller as energetic and enthusiastic as you might expect from someone who hits the skins for an act such as Toothgrinder. Page 42

‘I Just Want to be Proud in What I Got to Take Part in Making’ John Kevill of Warbringer

John Kevill has always been a charismatic dude, and a very intelligent one too. Picking his brain about the spirit of metal, what Warbringer really is and what it means to be a performer was a fascinating experience.  Page 60
