It's a Hard Rock Life

It's quiet.. TOO quiet. Perhaps the other denizens of the building wanted to tune in for our livestream with Dave "Maggot" McDonough of UPON CRUMSON WINGS and friend of the show Nicc T. We get caught up with what he's been up to, reminiscing the old days in the old haunted practice spaces, and plans for the future. This was a great night!

We planned on having KYLE ERICKSON on the show to have a chat about working on the tall ships, then last minute he's like, "oh hey, here's my music btw." lol good stuff! Starting out with a background in musical theatre, choir, and the ilk, Kyle has stopped by the studio along his journey as a full-time musician to talk about grinding for gigs, mishaps, and striving to hold himself to the highest possible caliber musician he can be. This is a doozie of an episode with an excellent musician.

Tom CPU, a seasoned journalist and former law enforcement officer, dives deep into the controversial Commonwealth v. Karen Read case. He shares vivid firsthand accounts of live-streaming the trial and the grassroots support behind Read's innocence. The discussion also examines the systemic failures of law enforcement, the emotional toll on involved families, and the role of content creators in raising awareness. With insights into judicial corruption and community advocacy, Tom paints a picture of the complexities at the intersection of law and public perception.
