The Saboteurs EP – Some Original Music From JoeGuerilla

OK, I realized recently that even though I’m pretty much neck-deep in the music industry with my video and web work, most of the people I’ve encountered over the last few years aren’t aware that I actually write and make music myself.

This is , of course, my fault. I haven’t recorded anything in awhile, [...]

The Few – “The Dark Lord” – Live At The High Noon

The Few are pretty new to me, but they kicked ass at the High Noon a couple of weeks ago. This show was the night of the huge snow storm here in Wisconsin (something like 20 inches of snowfall), and they still drew a decent crowd, which says something about both the band and [...]

Dissent And Revolt "The Absorption" – Live @ The High Noon Saloon

Coming from a metal background myself, it really makes me smile when I see a good metal show in Madison. Seems to be a rare thing these days (maybe I’m not looking in the right places)! That’s where Dissent And Revolt come in. One of the heaviest acts in Madison, these guys are a [...]

Shallows – Live @ The High Noon Saloon

Hailing from Appleton, WI, SHALLOWS brings to the table good old-fashioned dirge and grind, with some terrific modern hard-core metal vocals to round the sound out.

Once Again, Erebus Destroys!

One more from Erebus live at The Annex. This show really blew me away and I think set a precedent for quality metal coming out of Madison. From what I hear, these guys will be in the studio this summer recording a new full-length album, so be on the lookout for that. If you see [...]

Lords Of The Trident: WTF!?!

Lords Of The Trident: WTF!?!

Wow. This band is the most genius thing I’ve seen in a very long time. Lords Of The Trident are basically a throwback to the late 70′s-early 80′s scrotum squeezing metal acts such as Judas Priest, but the music is actually a bit more modern than that and believe it or not the music is [...]
