Episode 194 - Steevi Jaimz
Straight To Video
07/01/22 • 52 min
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.

Episode 79 - Stephen Pearcy
Straight To Video
04/13/21 • 22 min
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.

Episode 308 - Laurence R. Harvey
Straight To Video
11/22/24 • 30 min
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.

Episode 82 - Adam Slack
Straight To Video
04/23/21 • 53 min
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.

Episode 307 - Reeve Stimpson
Straight To Video
10/25/24 • 41 min
We talk to Reeve Stimpson - Singer Songwriter. Whilst many people try, few capture the vibe, energy and magic of the 80s in a genuine way. There are many bands and artists flying the flag of arguably the greatest pop culture decade of all time but few seem to do it as well as Reeve Stimpson has proved with his recent singles. We chat about the influences which have surrounded him from an early age that have contributed to his career along with the effect of films and their defining characters which continue to shape him into the artist he is today.

Episode 183 - Jack J Hutchinson
Straight To Video
05/10/22 • 37 min
We talk to Jack J Hutchinson - British Blues Rock Guitarist & Songwriter. Growing up on a heady rock diet of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and a love of John Carpenter Horror Movies led to fuelling the fire of an already impressive career of recording, touring and making his name all over the UK and Europe. We chat all about his early music discoveries, earning his gig stripes by completing European Tours with an entire band in his old Renault Clio and how he finds working as a full time DIY musician in today's unpredicatable world. Jack also earns bonus points for using the great terms 'Bollocked' and 'Kopped Off' during our talk. Much respect!
