Interview withStory of the Year
While doing their on again / off again routine, St. Louis rockers STORY OF THE YEAR or SOTY recently stopped by in Long Beach to pay their respects to a local charity event. But before hitting the streets they decided to do what they do best and that’s playing music. Dan, Ryan, Phillip, Adam and Josh gave me the opportunity of a lifetime when I got word that I'd be interviewing the entire act before they were due to meet up with their fans for a quick signing session - not to mention their headlining performance for later on that same night. The band spoke to me about what they’ve currently been up too and what to expect from them come the New Year.

Interview withJosh Todd (vocals) and Keith Nelson (guitars) of Buckcherry.
BUCKCHERRY is one of those modern every day hard rock acts that just never seems to fade away or get old as other bands tend to do from time to time. As far as BUCKCHERRY goes, this is an act worthy of a cause and that cause is to create music. Creating music since the band's formation back in 1995 and having 4 albums tucked under their belts, BUCKCHERRY had the chance of a lifetime when going out on tour with KISS back in 99. Now, the time has returned to reunite these mighty warriors with the almighty legends of Rock’n’Roll music once again. Lead vocalist Josh Todd and lead guitarist Keith Nelson held a teleconference where a handful of journalists had the chance to talk to these musicians discussing exactly how and why KISS meant so much to them along with what’s in store come the New Year.

Interview withA/J (vocals, guitars) of Saint Motel
SAINT MOTEL is a difficult act to describe but yet very hard to resist and damn right fun overall when it comes to their theatrical set ups performance wise. But when you narrow it all down, SAINT MOTEL is made up of A/J (vocals, guitars), A Sharp (guitar), Greg Erwin (drums) and Dak (bass). Together, these musicians constantly experiment over and over again pushing the boundaries of their creativity taking it to a whole new level each and every time. Front man A/J spoke to me briefly about how the band came to be along with the process of how their debut EP came around down to everything else in between with this brief in your face conversation.
