Pariah Burke sat down with BlackRain frontman Swan Hellion in the latter's first North American interview to talk about the band's history, crazy touring stories, and how the new album, Untamed, is finally the sound Swan and BlackRain sought for ...

Priya Panda, the talented, sexy forever untamed singer and frontwoman of melodic Hard Rock and Metal band Diemonds, and recently solo Pop singer, sits down with the Hard, Heavy & Hair Show’s Pariah Burke to talk about her solo music, that time the band literally crashed the Rocklahoma Festival, how Napalm Records failed Diemonds, and her surprising answer about whether Diemonds is gone forever.

Sam Bam Koltun, arguably the most exciting Rock guitarist under 30, sits down with the Hard, Heavy & Hair Show's Pariah Burke to talk about his work with Faster Pussycat, Dorothy, Budderside, and how a broken finger doesn't stop him being a guitar badass.

Topics include:

There once was a talented Melodic Thrash and Power Metal band from Southern Oregon that was cutting their own path to success. Unfortunately, they stepped off the path, and they've been lost in the woods for 25 years. This year, they found their way back to the trail, and now they're poised to pick up where they left off.

Taking a quarter-century-old demo tape of songs so good it became a fascination for collectors as far away from...

Steven St. James has a soulful singing voice that has taken him from Motown's Hard Rock band Kagny and the Dirty Rats with a pre-BulletBoys Marq Torien, to the band Sarge where he cowrote some of what would become Rough Cutt's hits with guitarist Chris Hager, to, finally, just in the last couple of years, reuniting with Hager and fronting ...

Cassidy Paris is a teenager with a voice--and mind--more mature than her years. From Melbourne, Australia, Cassidy has reached across the globe with a Rock N' Roll signing voice evocative of Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and Lzzy Hale. She's also a spokesperson for Metalheads Against Bullying and a woman with a heart almost as big as her amazing voice.

Cassidy has been mentored by her father, Wicked Smile guitarist Stevie Janevski, and D...

Britain's Chez Kane is an 80s Rock songstress who studied at the feet of Vixen and Pat Benatar, but who, through a terrible twist of fate, was frozen in her early 20s in a cryogenic sleep chamber for the last 35 years. In 2020 her long lost cryo tube was discovered, and Chez was defrosted and awoken by the lead singer of Crazy Lixx just in time to bring the world an album full of much needed hopeful, energetic, totally fun 80s Hard...

George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob, The End Machine, KXM), one of the most prolific, successful, and influential Hard Rock and Metal guitarists of all time, is also a deep thinker and activist. George played for me some of the riffs and chords from the brand new The End Machine Phase 2 album while we talked about:

• That second album
• The creative choices he and co-writer Jeff Pilson made
• Exactly why it sounds more like Dokken

From his home in Stockholm, Sweden, Conny Bloom of the Electric Boys and Hanoi Rocks talked with me about his music, the new Electric Boys album out April 30th, touring--past and future--the secret to staying young, whether the global pandemic was his fault, and the scariest moment in his life--that time he played Led Zeppelin in front of Led Zeppelin and thought Jimmy Page was going to knock him out.
