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. Like Motley Crue, WASP, Poison. The clothes, the over-the-top performances, and most importantly, the whole-hearted embrace of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. […]
Beatin’ the Odds interview. I love southern rock. 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.
