The Mad Caps: Ray Jamison Talks D&D Campaign Turned Into A Comic Series.
Geek Network had the opportunity to speak to Ray Jamison about his mini-series The Mad Caps. The Mad Caps is based on an original tabletop homebrew D&D campaign. One that Raymond Jamison created himself.
The story has amazing and captivating art to keep the reader highly involved in the story but not only that, the story does hit you in the heart. Without giving away too much it ties into real-life situations especially when it comes to playing D&D.
It’s about the nostalgia and also the difficult times of trying to get your crew together and how your timelines don’t align making scheduling hard. These characters are humanized because they have their time to shine and all stand out in one way or another. You can find The Madcaps #1 on Kickstarter right now! -
Mac Sabbath: The Masters of "Drive Thru Metal"
Geek Network recently ventured to the Rialto in Tucson, AZ, to experience another mesmerizing performance by one of their favorites, Mac Sabbath. This time, they were joined by the all-grrrrl rock group, The Darts.
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Mac Sabbath is a heavy metal tribute band that emerged in 2014. Dubbed the pioneers of "Drive Thru Metal," the band humorously parodies the style of the heavy metal group Black Sabbath, infusing their lyricism and imagery with fast food motifs.

Profiler: A Digital Nowhere - Nu-Metal Reawakening
Profiler is a Nu-Metal band reawakening from the creative mind of vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans. Together with bassist Joe Johnson and drummer Brad Ratcliffe, the band draws inspiration from pioneers who have instigated change across various genres, arts, and theories. This weight of legacy is something Profiler embraces, finding support with SharpTone Records, their home since 2020.
Originally conceived as a solo project in Bristol, UK, Profiler evolved as Mike stepped from the studio to the stage, enlisting bassist/vocalist Joe Johnson and drummer Oscar Hocking. In early 2023, Oscar made way for Brad Ratcliffe, solidifying the lineup that would craft the debut album, "A Digital Nowhere," released in 2024.
Profiler's music, a fusion of nu-metal, grunge, and alt-rock, creates an abrasive, distorted soundscape that pays homage to the heydays of these genres. Their sound resonates with anyone nostalgic for the contagious nineties Seattle grunge movement or the dominance of nu-metal in the 2000s, and the trailblazing bands that emerged during this era.
The highly anticipated debut album, "A Digital Nowhere," will be released on February 16th by SharpTone Records. -

Great show for Bern Outs
Hola! I was a recent guest on the podcast and it was pretty, pretty, pretty güd! Thomas was a hilarious host as he regaled us in is infant alcoholism stories which made me feel like a young lad listening to my grandmother spins yarns about a spectral locomotive that would rocket past the farm where she grew up (ghostbusters). Really had a great time! Great podcast! 5/5
