Interview with Michael Fleischmann from VISION OF DISORDER (@vod_band); Playing @ECTsunami THIS WEEKEND!
Being in a band for 20 years is no easy task. Any act that manages to stay together this long will undoubtedly deal with hard times, fucked up situations with the music business, and ultimately question their ability and influence within a drastically flooded marketplace. The key things to remember in these circumstances are the bonds you have with your fellow musicians, and the magic you can make together if you remember why you got involved with music to begin with. Music is a curious art form and a vehicle for self-expression that can change with time, but don’t tell that to one-hit wonder lovers.

Interview with Collin McLoughlin; Auditioned for “The Voice” last night!
How about one for the ladies this time, huh? Pop music is the lifeblood of the music industry, and seemingly always has been. There are so many artists and groups striving for mainstream success that we often find ourselves inundated with a barrage of similar sounding, similar dressing, vain glorious divas (guys and girls) who think they have what it takes to conquer Billboard magazine. Most won’t, try as they might. But for the fans that like their pop sensibility with a strong dose of drive, ambition, and talent, be thankful you have cats like Collin McLoughlin out here making a go of it.
