Cutter's RockCast Cutter

You may remember a band called Sleep Signals, if not that's OK, they broke up last year. But, lead singer Robert Cosgrove is back with a new project called Eyes Like Midnight. It's a completely different take on the kind of music Robert loves to create and with no rules in place, they are set to make their mark on the unsuspecting rock world. This band is so new they haven't even played a major concert yet. That changes at this year's Rockfest in Cadott, WI which is only 30 minutes from where Robert grew up. Yes, that means we are both Wisconsin boys, so you know I had to shed some homestate love. Don't sleep (no pun intended) on this new band. It's time for some new music discovery with Robert Cosgrove of Eyes Like Midnight. 

You may know Keith as the guitar player and backing singer for Breaking Benjamin. Keith is also a prolific solo artist having just released his new solo album called Infinity Now. Keith Wallen sits down for a conversation about songwriting, swinging both bands and to complain about TikTok and Spotify. Ok, we both kind of become crotchety old men with that conversation. Honestly though, we're music heads in our 40s so what would you expect? 

The Ghost Inside is a SoCal hardcore band who amassed a following doing what any great band does, tour your asses off. In 2015 that was put on hold when the band was involved in a bus accident that caused serious injuries for some in the band and killed their bus driver. Then in 2020, they were back after years of healing only to be stuck because of the Pandemic. Now in 2024 they just put out what might be their best album Searching For Solace featuring their first true radio hit "Wash it Away." I'm stoked to welcome lead singer Jonathan Vigil to the Rockcast. 

This conversation with the Nashville songwriter turned hard rocker Tim Montana took place backstage at the Epic Event Center on May 8th before Tim opened up for the band Saint Asonia on a one-off show to get ready for some big festivals he's been playing. Tim's story is one big middle finger to the man and about that country-rock thing? Yeah, he's been a hard rocker the whole time. 

P.O.D. jumped into the rap-metal/hardcore scene at about the same time Rage Against the Machine did, but adding their own influences of hip-hop, reggae, and Latin beats to their brand of hardcore immediately set them apart from the pack in the '90s. During the nu-metal explosion, they had number-one songs and platinum-selling albums. Now, it's been over 30 years and P.O.D. may have just put out one of their heaviest and well-put-together albums yet in Veritas. They are still out there grinding and joining us from the road is lead singer Sonny Sandoval. 

The band Nothing More ten years ago exploded on the modern rock world with their self-titled album. Since then they have put out some of their best work and it looks like that journey will continue with their new album Carnal due out on June 28th. Joining from their current tour with Wage War we get into the details of the songs and the raw emotion that has inspired this new album.
