Cutter's Rockcast

Kaytie and I got out to the Raisin' Hell in the Heartland Tour with A Day to Remember. Before one of the best concerts we've seen in a long time we caught up with singer Jeremy McKinnon and guitarist Neil Westfall. 7 records in what is now 16 years as a band and one of the most rabid fanbases in rock it's always amazing to talk to and see A Day To Remember. This tour just started so do yourself a favor and get to one of the shows. For updated tour information check www.adtr.com

Finally Kaytie and I are back at with a conversation between just the two of us and not one of those pesky rockstars. (joking of course.) From bands we've never seen, twitter conversations, poop and what's up with Apple, this is Cutter's Rockcast episode 135.

Architects man, this band...wow. Their latest album 'Holy Hell' is just a fantastic metal album that hits deep. Their show is intense and incredible to watch. Yes I'm a fan. Talking about this record, their music and of course their fallen brother was just an amazing conversation to have. Listen to the talk and make sure you listen to this album, and their old ones as well.

You know her as the guitar Goddess from Alice Cooper's band, as the performing guitarist at last year's WWE Wrestlemania, as the workout guru and as a solo artist. We know her as one of the most badass women in the music industry. Her name is Nita Struass. She is currently on tour in support of her debut solo album 'Controlled Chaos' which is available now. It truly is our pleasure to get to know Nita a little bit better.Facebook: @NitaStruassTwitter: @hirricanenitaInstagram: @hirricanenita

While at Sonic Temple Festival, Kaytie had a conversation with Bad Wolves frontman Tommy Vext. He told an hilarious story about meeting Metallica's Robert Trujillo and gave a small update on their sophomore album

Kaytie had the fun of hanging out at the largest 3 day rock music festival in the country, Sonic Temple in Columbus, OH. Here she is backstage with guitarist for Papa Roach, Jerry Horton.

Finishing their Collapse the World Tour with Parkway Drive I caught up with Jesse Leach, lead singer of Killswitch Engage, for a conversation about mental health. Also some info on new music and personal believes.

Funny story, Parkway Drive is one of the first bands that my girlfriend Luna Nicole and I bonded over, Ire will forever be our record. About 5 years ago I had the chance to meet Winston and have since taken every opportunity to say hi. Time for another backstage conversation (Luna is here as well,) with the amazing Winston Mccall of Parkway Drive. Video of this conversation can be found on my Youtube channel. @cuttermedia

Hellyeah! have had a year of heartbreak and loss. Really after the death of Vinnie Paul we all had to deal with heartbreak and loss. The band went into the studio and finished the record and now we have a taste. I caught up with lead singer Chad Gray on the day tickets went on sale for their summer tour and the release of their new song "Welcome Home."

Over 20 years of music and playing their 20th something show at infamous Rave/Eagle's Ballroom in Milwaukee it was time to catch up with great Sevendust. Lead singer Lajon Witherspoon reflects on the shows, the ghost hunting, the people and more. Plus tells about a Netflix movie that features some scenes with him and his family. Also he once again brings up those crazy barstools from a venue that we used to book Sevendust at. Oh and is there a new album? If so may we suggest a name? 'In Sevendust We Trust'

It's almost time for a new In This Moment record and that means it's time to catch up with guitarist and founding member of In This Moment, Chris Howorth. I met up with Chris who are currently doing a headline tour with the equally incredible Sevendust opening up. Visit www.inthismomentofficial.com for tour dates and more details. This conversation contains information on their perviously unannounced new album.

Ahh back home again. Backstage at the historic Eagle's Ballroom/The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. Bring Me The Horizon played one the best shows I've seen in sometime. The energy, the setlist, the sound, everything was amazing. No one left without a smile on their face that night. Before the took the stage on their 2nd Base tour, Luna Nicole and I went backstage to talk to Bring Me The Horizon songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jordan Fish.

You know Scott Stapp, you know who is, but do you? You know him as the lead singer of Creed. Maybe you heard about his issues? Maybe you're just a fan. No matter what we're getting into the mental health aspect of Scott Stapp, we're getting into his charity work via the With Arms Wide Open Foundation and we're getting into his new solo album due out July 19th.

Chris Motionless is the lead singer of Motionless in White. As the story goes we first met in Las Vegas at an industry dinner when we were both very new to the music industry. We've remained friends ever since and I personally couldn't be happier for him. With the help of Kaytie we dig deep into the music, into their very rabid fan base and into our own mental capacities. We're backstage with Chris from Motionless in White.

Atreyu just kicked off their tour doing direct support for Motionless in White. After the release of the album In Our Wake there has been a return to form for Atreyu. This audio was recorded in conjuction with a Facebook like from @razorwisconsin and @cuttermedia Dig into the conversation and go behind the scenes with Atreyu drummer/singer Brandon Saller

Profoundly.me is an app going around Facebook where you can ask a person anything and do anonymously. I posted it and let people ask me questions and I then applied at a conversation between Kaytie and I. So not only do I answer these Profoundly questions but so does Kaytie. Also opens up the conversation about commenting via social media and the negative effects it can have on bands. Like posting dildos pictures next to Taylor Momsen pictures, or only commenting about Mixi from Stitched Up Heart's boobs when they post a new song. This episode is definitely not safe for work.

Kaytie and I spoke with A Dead Desire's Moroni Silva about how the band formed, recovering from addiction, and his newly released cover of the Eurythmics’ “Here Comes the Rain Again" featuring late All That Remains guitarist Oli Herbert. It turns out that Moroni and Oli came up with the idea of covering the Eurythmics' song while having a few drinks one night. They recorded a small part of the song on Moroni's phone before eventually covering the track.

It's here! The highly anticipated 2nd full length album from I Prevail 'Trauma' is available now. Dylan and Eric from I Prevail joined me to dive into this record a bit. The picture for this episode of the Rockcast is me talking to the band in the studio while wearing a Unicorn shiting shooting star rainbows shirt. They appreciated that.

This is a conversation that Kaytie and I have been having since we started having conversations. Women rock, plain and simple. There is no difference between a male band and a female band and the idea that it's separate needs to go away. So you know girl power and stuff. We are all even, we are all one and on this episode of the Rockcast we turn our attention to the L.A. based Diamante and her debut album 'Coming in Hot.'
