We talk to Steevi Jaimz - Singer Songwriter and Vocalist for Tigertailz on their 1987 debut album 'Young & Crazy' which celebrates it's 35th Anniversary this year. Steevi's journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster and one that should cement him as one of the Hard Rock genre's most treasured survivors. In our hugely entertaining chat we try and cover as much as we can from his first introductions to Rock & Roll, meeting Tailz drummer Ace Finchum and their early adventures on the Sunset Strip to Steevi's arrival and departure from one of the UK's biggest Glam Rock Bands of the 80s. Brutally honest throughout, very little is left out or covered up in what is a great snapshot of a much missed rock and roll scene.

We talk to Stephen Pearcy - Singer and Frontman of legendary Hollywood Hard Rock band RATT. Stephen recalls his days of travelling from San Diego to the bright lights of Hollywood in the late 1970s after hearing tales of an amazing rock n roll band on the brink of super stardom. That band would be a young Van Halen who Stephen would befriend and their influence would be core to his attitude and approach to push RATT from the clubs to multi-platinum status and arena sized world tours. We talk about his on going passion and love for the music scene he helped kickstart and how he is putting it in the spotlight with his new multi-media project Backstage Past. Stephen Pearcy proves he can still hold his own and continues to flaunt his iconic persona and have his music and songs loved by millions to this very day.

We talk to Laurence R. Harvey - Actor & Voice Over Artist. Whilst most of the world first laid eyes on Laurence in his role of Martin Lomax in the notorious and perhaps even more stomach churning 2011 sequel to The Human Centipede, the well versed performer had long been treading the boards of TV and Theatre before claiming his spot in Horror's hallowed iconic hall of fame. Laurence takes us on his journey through moving from the north of England to London, landing an endless array of roles right through to his current work as a much in demand voice actor on classic horror stories of days gone by. A true British Horror Legend we can be proud of.

We talk to Adam Slack - Guitarist for rock and roll band The Struts. Adam takes us back to his early days growing up and his love of pop music before diving down the rock and punk path after being blown away seeing his first Green Day video - something that would later come full circle when his heroes would acknowledge his songwriting in the most amazing way possible. During his journey we learn of the incredible but bumpy path The Struts would have to take on their road to success and along the way hear about record shop instores with McFly, last minute calls to support The Rolling Stones, Motley Crue's Tommy Lee trying his best to understand a Welsh accent but most of all we learn that talent, drive and the most bizarre twists of fate and chance can lead to much deserved success and a lot of fun.
