Update! White Wizzard in the studio.29-10-09

John Leon, bass guitarist tells us that him and the boys from White Wizzard have been holed up in the studio of late grafting over the new material.

John "we been in the studio all this week recording bonus tracks. We got a cover of the Judas Priest track 'Heading out to the highway'. Wyatt's vocals sound fucking amazing . Also we got a cover of this obscure British underground band called Clovenhoof. The song is called 'The gates of gehenna'. It's a fucking badass song and we are nailing it!"

Pray tell John, who's the first to chuck out of you White Wizzard lot?

"No one has yet actually...we're all pretty hardcore. Hey that can be a project for when we come over to the U.K!"

Oh It's fucking on my friend!

A catch up with SSS. 28-10-09.

Dave, the drummer from SSS on what's ahead for them this Winter: "Our U.S tour which we were playing support on fell through, which is a shame. The band we were supporting split up. On the upside, because of that we have had more time to spend on writing and have about 30 songs put together, been working really hard on the third album, look forward to playing the new stuff live."

Who's the first to chuck eh?

Dave: "Erm .... Marco, he's got weak guts! Ha!"

Liam, guitarist from The Boy Will Drown has time for only 3 questions!

Liam, guitarist of The Boy Will Drown, what did you have for your tea tonight pet?

" Vegan burritos and nachos. "

Other than falling leaves and sunny cold days, what is the month of September about for you eh?

"I am back at Uni for my last and most important year".

Ouch. Good luck with that, rather you than me. Where does the band fit in with all that malarky then?

"Looks like we have a few tours getting booked up so we should be back out on the road this year and so we are just rehearsing for now."

Well, sounds like it's all go, shall bid you farewell young Padawan.

Cauldron. A snipet from life on the road. Genius. 14-09-09

Monday's eh...who'd have 'em. Me if they were just like Cauldron's!

"I woke up to the vision of Jonas completely naked, throwing up over the balcony of our hotel. I think he threw up in his sleeping bag too because something never smelled quite right whenever he was carrying it around for the rest of the tour.

It was a pretty nice overcast day and we all hit muscle beach for an hour instead of showering.

We drove to Winter Park outside of Orlando today. Another interesting bar in some kind of shopping complex. Our three rabid fans led by Andrew came out to the show, it was nice to finally meet them. The bar was owned by some military guy who was on leave from Iraq. He gave us all shots and Iraqi smokes. A pretty cool guy!"

Bonded by blood update. Alex Lee. Guitarist. Bonded By Blood.

The long haired lothario of Bonded By Blood, better known as their filth-meister guitar shredder,  Alex Lee lets us know what time it is in L.A Thrash land -

"So I'm here up late hahaha working on the new band material. I've been recording a lot of short riffs here and there to bring to the band table so we could finish up the rest of the album. I get a lot of writers block so I practice guitar stuff until something comes up. If all else fails I just take a break and talk to my girlfriend - sometimes she ends up being my inspiration, and then I've been able to come up with ideas for guitar riffs. I work out a lot now too since I'm on my own new diet, and results are looking sweet hahaha" .

Diets to help clear the mental obstacles of creating sick new thrash riffs?  Oh how very L.A!

So Alex, your body is a temple, being in L.A, which is a given I guess. Also a given, you got better weather than us so what's the weather like over there? Are you in Pomona?

"Well I've always lived in Chino which is 5 min away from Pomona it's pretty hot but at night it's not so much". Right. Good to know.

When are you hoping to record the new album? And what's the band like post Ruben?

"We're trying to get into the studio late October / November and well, the bands doing great still. The new bassist is a great guy he has a lot of great ideas for songs and Juan likes his ideas a lot."

Any more covers of 80's cartoon themes?

"Well, were still trying to figure out what were going to work on!"
