Charles says that "the beginnings of songwriting for this album started in May 2019...we were in Australia for an Australian tour and we kind of spent a week just kind of coming up with some initial ideas. The ones for these original songs, I mean some of them were even earlier than that."Listeners who crave long, epic storytelling will be incredibly satisfied by Exul. "I'm always looking for every sng to take the listener on a journey. That's what I enjoy about writing music for NeObliviscaris," Charles said.With epic violin lines, clean and guttural vocals, and multiple part songs, there is never a dull moment on the new Ne Obliviscaris album Exul. Check out all this and more in a WSOU 89.5 FM exclusive interview with Tim Charles from Ne Obliviscaris!

Guitar legend Steve Vai talks about his latest album Vai/Gash in an exclusive WSOU interview!The album does not feature what many would expect from a Steve Vai record. It is a tribute to his fascination with motorcycle culture and the associated "classic rock" sound of the 70s. Vaisaid that he "was never really into cars or exotic old guitars or anything. But I was into studio gear and Harleys."The album features late friend of Vai Johnny "Gash" Sombrotto. "Gash didn't know how to do anything else but be entirely himself. No pretention, no placating a genre or a radio station or a record company...nothing!" Vai said. The two made the album so that Vai would have something to listen to when riding his motorcycle. However, the album ended up sitting on the shelf for almost 30 years...until 2023.Listeners can now explore the classic rock side of Vai on the album Vai/Gash and absorb the creative force of Johnny "Gash" Sombrotto. "This record transcends Steve Vai as a guitar player, artist, whatever," Vai remarks. "I'm a contributor...it's geared towards listening pleasure for people that love that old kind of 70s-80s straight ahead rock." Check out all of this and more in Steve Vai's exclusive interview with WSOU 89.5 FM.
