You know Jason Hook as the guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch. A few years ago Jason left Five Finger and instead of joining another band in need of his services he ventured out and did his own thing, that thing is called Flat Black. Their debut album is called Dark Side of the Brain and is available now. The sound is heavy, melodic, and in your face. If you've ever enjoyed his playing than Flat Black is something you need to be checking out. Their touring activities start this weekend with Godsmack and Nothing More.

Well, look who's back?! Crobot is here to give us all the details on their new album Obsidian which is out today (Friday.) Crobot have basically gone independent and they are doing things their own way with killer riffs and aggressive rock and roll songs in a way that only Crobot could do. Working with former Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, Clutch frontman Neil Fallon, and even JD from Black Label Society, Crobot are about to take us on a journey.

John Corabi is currently the lead singer of the straight-ahead rock and roll band The Dead Daisies. A supergroup of sorts with an incredible lineup of musicians they just released (today) their new album Light 'Em Up. John has also spent a lot of time in other bands like Ratt, Union, The Scream, and of course Motley Crue. He rides, he rocks, he's an Eagles fan (we don't hold that against him,) he is the one and only John Corabi.
-
John Allen is the lead singer of the indie, straightforward rock and roll band Stone Horses, who on their own have already had a couple of top 40 rock hits including their latest single "Free." However, John's history goes back as he was also the lead singer of the band Charm City Devils and got his start as the drummer for SR-71. As he describes it "I'm the poor man's Dave Grohl." Flash forward and Stone Horses are about to release a new full-length album called Redemption on October 25th. Music conversations and rock and roll stories, it's John Allen's turn this week on Cutter's Rockcast.
-
The whole band Shallow Side stopped by the studios and decided to have a little fun in the back room. We went through their entire life cycle as a band and we all agree that Elias from Nonpoint is one of the best dudes on the planet.
Shallow Side's new album Reflections is available now, wherever you get music from. -
Our friend and sometimes collaborator Decker from The Cutting Edge Countdown affiliate Razor 94.7/104.7 in Green Bay, WI caught up with Miles from the band Ice Nine Kills. They talk opening for Metallica, headline shows, playing giant stadiums, horror movies, and of course what's next for Ice Nine Kills.
-
Don't just call Royale Lynn another country-rock hybrid from Nashville. Well yes, some of that is true, this talented woman grew up with metal in her veins and is now spreading her wings to show that side of her songwriting ability. Her latest song "Death Wish" features a collaboration with Asking Alexandria singer Danny Worsnop, who is also no stranger to spreading his wings creatively. This week on Cutter's Rockcast we get an answer to the very important question, who is Royale Lynn?
-
Sometimes I feel like I crave the joy and craziness of a Badflower conversation and this one starts with a surprise appearance by my daughter and I almost get kicked off the conversation. Then it's all in on new Badflower music, skateboards, and riding tractors on a farm on the outskirts of Nashville. Badflower is something to behold and with two brand new songs out it's time to have this conversation with lead singer Josh Katz and bassist Alex Espiritu.
-
Dorothy Martin has become one of the most sought-after female rock vocalists that exist. Her solo career is nothing to scoff at either with now 3 top ten hits and a new song called "Mud" that she says is going to be "the party rock workout song of the summer!" Dorothy is back on the Rockcast to tell us about this new tune, her new album, being on tour with Creed, and all those guest spots she's done over the past few years from Staind, to Slash to Dolly Parton. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to once again welcome Dorthoy to Cutter's Rockcast.

When Creed is in your hometown rehearsing for their tour kickoff you don't just have a conversation with their lead singer Scott Stapp, you also talk to their incredible guitar player Mark Tremonti. In part two of this episode of Cutter's Rockcast, we get the Creed reunion from Mark's perspective and Creed's touring rhythm guitarist Eric Friedman. Eric also plays in Mark's solo band Tremonti. This time we get to find out more about the production of this Creed show, and the intense schedule. We also get some nuggets about new Tremonti music coming later this year and his Frank Sinatra tribute which will return for the holidays in 2024.

Scott Stapp joined me on my morning show before the kickoff of the Creed reunion tour. Scott and I have known each other for a long time and I couldn't be happier for the man. We chatted about the reunion, the tour, the music, his solo album, his sports teams, and even the other band that people love to hate, Nickleback. Enjoy a candid conversation with Scott Stapp for part one of our two-part series on the biggest rock band in the world at the turn of the century, Creed.

Two decades of writing and releasing music while touring the world, yet there's a good chance you may have never heard of the East Coast Punk/Hardcore band Four Year Strong. Hopefully with this episode of the Rockcast, that all changes. Four Year Strong will release what may be their best album yet, Analysis Paralysis on August 9th. With an actual rock single starting to crank up the charts called "Uncooked" and songs filled with attitude and a screw it let's party attitude we're ready for the new Four Year Strong. Dan O'Connor is one of two lead singers in the band and he's here to talk about new music and tell us what's so special about this legendary East Coast music scene.
-
Myles Kennedy is the lead singer of the band Alter Bridge, he is also the lead singer of Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. That much you should know, but Myles is also an accomplished solo artist and on the best vocalists in rock, plus one of the hardest working and one of the nicest people I know. Last week out of nowhere Myles announced his third solo album The Art of Letting Go due out on October 11th. With that, he also released a new song called "Say What You Will. So I immediately shot off a message and asked Myles to come back and fill us all in. You can see Myles on tour this fall in Europe and this winter back state side.
-
Islander jumped on the hard rock scene around 2014, and the band and Mikey became some of my favorites. After a couple of top 20 rock hits the road has been a bit bumpy for the band, but now they are doing it their way and are pumping out the heaviest songs of their career. With a new album on the way June 28th called Grammy Nominated which was completely fan-funded they are ready to bring their message of love to the masses.
-
You may remember a band called Sleep Signals, if not that's OK, they broke up last year. But, lead singer Robert Cosgrove is back with a new project called Eyes Like Midnight. It's a completely different take on the kind of music Robert loves to create and with no rules in place, they are set to make their mark on the unsuspecting rock world. This band is so new they haven't even played a major concert yet. That changes at this year's Rockfest in Cadott, WI which is only 30 minutes from where Robert grew up. Yes, that means we are both Wisconsin boys, so you know I had to shed some homestate love. Don't sleep (no pun intended) on this new band. It's time for some new music discovery with Robert Cosgrove of Eyes Like Midnight.
-
You may know Keith as the guitar player and backing singer for Breaking Benjamin. Keith is also a prolific solo artist having just released his new solo album called Infinity Now. Keith Wallen sits down for a conversation about songwriting, swinging both bands and to complain about TikTok and Spotify. Ok, we both kind of become crotchety old men with that conversation. Honestly though, we're music heads in our 40s so what would you expect?

The Ghost Inside is a SoCal hardcore band who amassed a following doing what any great band does, tour your asses off. In 2015 that was put on hold when the band was involved in a bus accident that caused serious injuries for some in the band and killed their bus driver. Then in 2020, they were back after years of healing only to be stuck because of the Pandemic. Now in 2024 they just put out what might be their best album Searching For Solace featuring their first true radio hit "Wash it Away." I'm stoked to welcome lead singer Jonathan Vigil to the Rockcast.
-
This conversation with the Nashville songwriter turned hard rocker Tim Montana took place backstage at the Epic Event Center on May 8th before Tim opened up for the band Saint Asonia on a one-off show to get ready for some big festivals he's been playing. Tim's story is one big middle finger to the man and about that country-rock thing? Yeah, he's been a hard rocker the whole time.
-
P.O.D. jumped into the rap-metal/hardcore scene at about the same time Rage Against the Machine did, but adding their own influences of hip-hop, reggae, and Latin beats to their brand of hardcore immediately set them apart from the pack in the '90s. During the nu-metal explosion, they had number-one songs and platinum-selling albums. Now, it's been over 30 years and P.O.D. may have just put out one of their heaviest and well-put-together albums yet in Veritas. They are still out there grinding and joining us from the road is lead singer Sonny Sandoval.
