Join Sherry for Just Push Play - A Music Podcast: Interview with John Allen of Charm City Devils.

Charm City Devils return to their bluesy, modern-edged and southern-tinged hard rock anthems. They can tell you about the desire to rock the masses, but you've heard all the puffery before.

Rather than bore you with the same old bio, they wanted to give it to you straight. They are Baltimore and Baltimore is in all of us! They have lived their entire lives in and around this city. Baltimore was once vibrant. The town had jobs, low crime, and was a place to truly call home. While it is tough to argue that Baltimore doesn’t have a myriad of issues, we still want to tell the story of what still thrives here, which is the music.

Real-life experiences are what they write about, what they sing about and what they care about.  

Baltimore to them is what Boston is to Aerosmith. It keeps them grounded, motivated, and inspired. It’s the main reason they chose this profession and why they will always pursue their dreams.

If nothing else, the return is a reminder that not all the news in Baltimore is bleak and in the face of adversity we have to “Roll on, Roll on, on like a Skipping Stone!”

Join Sherry for Just Push Play - A Music Podcast: Interview with Nathan Spades of Dark Station.

In the spring of 2018, five Southern California musicians came together, leaving their respective projects behind, to form a new band. A band with the ability to seamlessly transition from crushingly heavy riffs to unforgettably haunting melodies and lyrics. With inspiration drawing from the top late 90's and early 00's rock bands, there's a certain familiarity to the music that's refreshing and yet evolved into what can only be described as Dark Station. 

"Down in The Dark" is poised to cement the band's name as a commendable force in the rock world. With rock on the rise, Dark Station has risen to the challenge of aiding in rock's revival. This is the new age. This is Dark Station.

Join Sherry for Just Push Play - A Music Podcast: Interview with Anna-Marie O'Brien, author of Adventures of a Metalhead Librarian. Lonn Friend, former RIP magazine editor and all around great guy, penned the Foreword and joins us for the conversation.

In this heartfelt debut memoir, Anna-Marie O’Brien shares a poignant coming-of-age story about sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll and what it took for her to survive in the big city.


In 1990, Anna-Marie left her disappointing Midwestern childhood behind and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to pursue her heavy metal dreams on the Sunset Strip. Bands like Mötley Crüe, Megadeth, and Guns N’ Roses were at the height of their popularity, and she landed right in the middle of the heavy-metal music scene.

Welcomed by sunshine and possibilities, her California adventure began the very first day she arrived in magical Laurel Canyon.

Soon, she was working in the music industry, and then for Metal Blade Records. Working with her favorite bands and witnessing music history was a dream come true. But, things were not all as they seemed. Grunge music had arrived from Seattle, and it was taking over the metal scene. Los Angeles turned into a dark force, forcing her to make tough choices in order to survive.


This is a story of big magic, following your heart, and starting over. Anna-Marie is a real-life librarian, and a lifelong fan of heavy metal and rock music.


This is Adventures of a Metalhead Librarian.
