Cutter's Rockcast

Where do I begin with Jacoby Shaddix? I first meet the Papa Roach lead singer probably around 2002 and I think it was at a bar. Since then it's hugs and catch ups everytime we see each other. Now instead of it being over some sort of bottle it's with microphones in hand, stories of our kids and loved ones, and talk of music. He's been sober for 7 years and is better than ever. Catching up with an old friend outside of the arena where I saw my first concert makes this conversation a special one.

I just got back from spending 8 days in Vegas, Kaytie just got back from spending 2 days in Vegas that was supposed to be 3 than only 1 and then...just listen to the story. Also huge thanks to the Contraband Company and CO5 for putting on the #happens conference. We had an incredible time.

After all the lead up, a number one song, and another top 15 song that's rising Badflower's debut full length album is here. OK, I'm sick is the long awaited doubt album by Badflower and it features a couple songs you already know like "Ghost" & "Heroin." We caught up them in Las Vegas before heading back to L.A. for a hometown album release show.

Long Beach, CA band Rival Sons just released their 6th album 'Feral Roots' and their first single from it "Do Your Worst" is now a top ten rock song. Catching up while in tour in Europe, lead singer Jay Buchanan gets on the phone with myself and Kaytie. We talk the new album, we talk touring with Black Sabbath, border delays, and new merch lines.

The title says it all. Needless to say we and many of us in the rock community were not happy after the 2019 Grammy Awards.

Maroon 5, rappers, Atlanta, all things represented during the halftime show at this year's big game in Atlanta between New England and LA. Was it good? Was it bad? Why can't Adam Levine afford better tattoos?

Ever wonder what the hell Active Rock or Top 40, or even easy listening means? Let us help you understand why each different type of radio station plays what they play and why it's defined as their particular format.

You may or may not know Mark Morton as the guitarist of the metal band Lamb of God, but I'm a huge fan. Mark has decided to expand his song writing chops and put out a solo album called 'Anesthetic' due out March 1st. The album features a lot of rock dream collaborations including the song "Cross Off" featuring deceased Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. Kaytie and I caught up with Mark to tell us about this amazing song and album.

Today (Jan. 18th) is release day for Papa Roach! Their tenth studio album is called 'Who Do You Trust?' and looks to be like another great record from a staple of rock. Jerry Horton joins me quick to talk about the new record and help celebrate today's release.

Why is it that we as rock fans hate everything? We hate bands when the become popular, we hate it when bands charge money for things...anything. It's time for Kaytie and I to vent and get a few things off our chest. This conversation is def not safe for work, unless you are wearing headphones, or work at a place where adult language is accepted. You know like that tire shop I go to where the mechanic still smokes in the waiting room.

Kicking off the new year chill and relaxed. Catch up on NYE and holiday fun and take a look back at our best and worst rock and roll moments of 2018. Then the wheels come off and anger happens to set up what we're going to do next week.

The Black Moods have actually been around for a number of years and even have two full length albums out, but until recently they have gone relatively unnoticed to the mainstream rock crowd. That has begun to change now that their new single "Bella Donna" is being played on various rock radio stations around the country and the road has called. This is a band to watch for 2019 and on this New Years Eve weekend I was able to hang out with them and get a great introduction in their home town of Phoenix, AZ.

Corbin Reiff has written for Rolling Stone Magazine, Spin, Uproxx, Billboard, Consequence of Sound and tons more. He was announced plans to write a biography about Chris Cornell set for 2020 release. We sat down to talk to him about that book, Chris Cornell and more. His first book, LIGHTERS IN THE SKY: The All-Time Greatest Concerts, 1960-2016 is out now.

Indio Downey and Ralph Alexander of the 2 peice rock band from Malibu, CA The Dose stopped by the studio. We chatted for a bit and then yes they brought some guitars. Enjoy an introduction to the band The Dose.

This isn't actually a reboot. The news broke about the reboot of the MTV stop motion show 'Celebrity Death Match' right before we got into the studio. A show who's theme music was written by none other than Marilyn Manson! That news spawned this conversation.

Nothing More played The Sylvee in Madison, WI on December 2nd. Cutter caught up with frontman Jonny Hawkins before the show. They talked gaming, the spark that pushed Jonny to music, his road from drummer to singer, and more.

P.O.D. which stands for Payable on Death having been kicking it around the rock and metal scene since the mid 90's. Based out of San Diego their music is unrecognizable. From giant hits like "Youth of the Nation" and "Boom" to their newest album 'Circles' we dive into it all with Sonny, Wuv, Traa, and Marcos of the legendary P.O.D.

After helping Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch do an amazing thing by donating sleeping bags to a homeless shelter, Kaytie and I decided it's high time to go down the list of charity organizations that are ran by, started by, or helped by rockstars.

For the 100th episode of the Rockcast, Kaytie and I went live via Facebook and took your questions. Plus I was still live on the air. Turns out we're OK at multitasking. Here's the audio, enjoy!

A few weeks ago the rock world lost one of it's great guitarists in Oli Herbert from the band All That Remains. Kaytie and I were both lucky enough to have met Oli and everyone from ATR on numerous occasions and I know for me personally they quickly become some of my favorite people in music. November 9th sees the release of the 9th studio album 'Victim of the New Disease.' Mike Martin is the other guitarist in All That Remains and in the middle of Kaytie and I talking about the band Mike and I had a fantastic conversation about Oli, about the new record, some good natured ribbing of Phil LeBonte, playing in the rain and more. Listen to this episode and you might learn something. After you listen to this, or before, do yourself a favor and listen to the new record. You won't be sorry.Cutter: @cuttermediaKaytie: @ktrgrocksAll That Remains: @ATRhqMike Martin: @mikemartinatr
