We reached out to Pete Mason of NYS Music and had a productive chat. RRX: Let’s talk about NYS Music, which is where I know you from. I’ll share with you that, where I live, without giving out the deets, there are NYS Music stickers in places where no sticker ought to be. And I […]
Frankie Cavone. It’s funny how you get into the creative arts. In Frankie Cavone’s case, it was very physical, on four wheels, with grinding and ollies. This would, in a series of fortunate incidents, put him on the path to video production and entertainment news outlet Mirth Films. You may know his work; in fact, […]
Duane Beer interview. RRX: We interviewed Blasé Debris in… actually, it was one of our first interviews, in 2018, maybe, early 2019. Blasé Debris was kickin’ then, and the foot is not sore yet. How have the half-decade between then and now treated the band, and let’s skip over a certain would-famous ‘ick’ period, shall […]
Mike Trash interview. Some sounds are iconic. I don’t use that word lightly, because the word is played out, and there aren’t enough words that give you the same feel. Iconic. Like hair metal.

It’s a family thing, growing up getting rocked in my stroller while my dad drank beer and listened to the Allman Brothers coming out of a bar jukebox. C’mon, it was the seventies. Anyhoo, something about southern rock hits me in the heart and makes me want […]
Fuzz Kebabjian interview. When you cover the music scene in the Capital Region, you are the music scene; you become a part of it. You are the megaphone. Your lyrics are the words of every rock hopeful and metal veteran that they couldn’t squeeze into their songs. You bring a dimension to the sick shredding […]
Ralph Renna interview. True friendship isn’t a paved road. I think it’s a road that you pave with shared experiences, and the curves and dips and bumps are hard wrought, but give it its character. In any area, in any scene, you find people who have carved out roads well-traveled. Ralph Renna has built roads, […]
FLAPJAX. There’s an electricity that shoots through the air of a creative passion project, no matter the particular outlet, but in independent film, especially low budget film, that electricity is palpable, and of course, flowing through the camera and sparking lines. Rocko Zevenbergen of Bad Taste Video is shooting just such a lightning storm in […]
