Now back with their second record 'Flawed Design' and a top ten song that features Sully Erna of Godsmack it's time to catch up with Adam.

I honestly can't remember why this episode is titled Grammys and Sex. We def go through the grammy nominations for the 4 rock categories that came out this week. It's Kaytie and I so I'm sure there's also some sort of sexual commentary. Cutter: @cuttermediaKaytie: @KTRGrocks

You know Clint Lowery as the guitarist for the band Sevendust and also maybe from Dark New Day and even his work with Seether. After writing and working on it for a few years, Clint is about to release his first solo album, 'God Bless the Renegades' due out on January 31st. The first single is out now called "Kings" and if you know or have been a fan Clint's previous work you'll immediately fall in love with it. Clint gives us the breakdown on the album, why now was the time and his up coming tour with Alter Bridge. Plus listen to the end for an update on Sevendust.Clint Lowery: @clintlowerynetCutter: @cuttermediaKaytie: @ktrgrocks

With Kaytie being on vacation I decided to invite some friends to co-host this week's episode of Cutter's Rockcast. I wanted to get into metal-core, death-core and whatever other sub genre name you want to come up with. Plus of course the art of the "blegh."Luna Nicole is yes my girlfriend, she is also an accomplished pole dancer/model who's been in Inked Magazine and has now starred in two music videos. Find her everywhere @luunamoonaaDylan Greenhill is a very close friend of ours and is the lead singer of the up and coming progressive death core band Immortallis. Check them out @immortaliswi

Eric Vanlerberghe is one of the singers for the band I Prevail. I caught up with Eric backstage in Chicago during the Degenerates Tour. The tour that features A Day To Remember headlining, I Prevail, Beartooth and Can't Swim. We dig into their latest album 'Trauma,' what our favorite songs are, the intense theme of the album and why Eric thinks it has resonated with so many people. Plus of course some thoughts on this incredible tour.I Prevail: @iprevailbandEric Vanlerberghe: @DickVanbergCutter: @cuttermedia

Two major bands that we love reunite, one smaller band who we love breaks up, the ultimate co-headlining package tours and how Kaytie and I's show is now apparently called 'The Taint & Butter Show.' Welcome to our world of rock and roll crazy. Cutter: @cuttermediaKaytie: @KTRGrocks

Today the Las Vegas based band Otherwise joined me live on Razor 94.7/104.7 to promote their show with Blacktop Mojo. We talked about their new record 'Defy' which comes out next Friday November 8th. They also played 2 songs acoustic including a cover of the 80's pop song "Everyone Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears. I'm posting this as it was heard on the air. Enjoy!

Kaytie and I are back with a host episode of the rockcast! Kaytie found this article from vividseats.com about which state have the most rock shows per capita. Also which states have the most rock bands from them and even which rock and/or metal bands play the most rock shows in the United States.

Tommy Vext is no stranger to the Rockcast but on the day that Bad Wolves' 2nd album N.A.T.I.O.N. comes out it's high time to talk again. We dig into the record, the success, the experience of the band, what does N.A.T.I.O.N. stand for and even Tommy's work out routines. We love Tommy and the rest of the band and we're stoked to have him back on the Rockcast.

Kaytie and I caught up with Josh Katz, the lead singer of Badflower backstage once again at the historic Rave/Eagle's Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI. Everything from Josh being a child actor in commercials to this headlining tour they are currently on. This conversation even happened on a pile of pillows. You just never know what's going to happen when you get Kaytie and I in the same room with a rockstar, especially one we've been following since the beginning.

Lead singer of Godsmack Sully Erna caught up with Kaytie and I after they kicked off their current tour with Halestorm and Monster Truck in my hometown. Drum battles, the stage crew and why we don't f*** with the truck. Also digging into Sully's Scars Foundation and how Lady Gaga was part of the influence for the song "Under Your Scars."

Every so often Kaytie and I are going to pick a rock news website and talk about the first few stories, or as many as time allows. For our first episodes of these we randomly chose The PRP. The PRP is website that generally leans a little more heavy and underground for the music they cover. We find stories about Rob Zombie and Hellyeah, but also about Aaron from Underoath's new band and even a story about Chimaira. It's been awhile since we've a done an episode of the Rockcast between just Kaytie and I. Enjoy! Check out more metal and hard rock news here ----> www.theprp.com

What could I possibly say about GWAR that hasn't already been said. I will admit flat out that I was not prepared for this conversation. It wasn't scheduled, it was just their publicist who I've known for years coming up to me at the festival and simply asking, "you wanna talk to GWAR?" I mean who says no to that? No one. So here's my short and sweat yet kind of awkward conversation with the Intergalactic war dogs, GWAR.

Went backstage at Riot Fest in Chicago to catch up and talk old school punk rock with the bassist of Chicago based punk band, Joe Principe of Rise Against.
