Rock On Request Magazine's Podcast

I had the pleasure of speaking with lead vocalist Tad Gonzales of Electric Sister. For all of the hard and alternative rock fans out there, Electric Sister is a band that should most definitely be on your radar. With the recent release of their album 'The Lost Art of Rock and Roll' this past October, Electric Sister has been garnering great reviews that are well-deserved. Tad was nice enough to talk with me about the record and what the band has planned for 2012.

Keifer Sutherland of FOX's new upcoming show 'TOUCH' sat down this morning for a conference call interview with the media.

With hundreds of members of the press hoping to get a chance to talk to Keifer, he was gracious enough to spend 25 minutes answering all that he could about this great new show from FOX.

Our featured track this Saturday night comes from a great rock band out of New Jersey by the name of Empire Escorts.

When it comes to laying down a truly classic hard rock sound, Fosterchild absolutely kills it. There is nothing overproduced here, and you definitely won't here the same old thing when you listen to their music. This is four guys with pure talent playing traditional, balls out rock. Our friends from Philly are sharing their single 'Anywhere (Sundown)' with our listeners today, and after hearing it I have no doubt you are going to want much more Fosterchild in your collection. You can find their entire catalog on iTunes, and be sure to check out their website as well.

I am always reminded why I love what I do. All it takes is one e-mail introducing a band to me, a band playing great original music like Binary.
