Rockcast 429 - Chris Daughtry...Again

September 25, 2025 • 13 mins
I'm not going to say no to hearing the words of Chris Daughtry, espicially when they are about great music. Earlier this year Daughtry released the EP Shock to the System (Part One) and now they have released Shock to the System (Part Two.) Another EP and the journey has already begun for another Daughtry song to get the absolute crap played out of it on North American rock radio with "The Bottom." But there's a special sound to th...

It can be distracting and maybe even a bit concerning when you hear a band you really like is losing one of it's singers. Luckily for I Prevail Eric Vanlerberghe has been there the whole time. Since the band's inception there have been two singers, one who holds down the clean vocals and Eric who handles the heavier and more intense parts. Now it's up to Eric and guitarist Dylan Bowman to handle all vocals and they do it better tha...

Rockcast 423 - Nils Goldschmidt of Velvet Chains

July 17, 2025 • 20 mins
Normally when a band starts to click with the mainstream its after they've been at it for a long time. That's not to say Velvet Chains haven't been grinding, but bassist and founder Nils Goldschmidt didn't even start the band until he was in his early 30s, and they started as cover band playing little bars in the Vegas area. Then inspiration struck and the Velvet Chains we now know was born.

Rockcast 421 - Dillon Jones of Nerv

June 26, 2025 • 21 mins
The band Nerv is a story as old as rock and roll itself. The lead singer has a band that implodes, another band needs a singer, and it's like they were soulmates. 8 years ago, Dillon and the rest of the band Nerv experienced that exact story. Then, a few years ago, their song "Bad Habits" blew up everywhere. But this band is doing it their way; they are writing their own story. A piece of that story gets told here on Cutter's Rockc...

What can I say about Johannes Eckerstrom that hasn't already been said? This guy is always a treat to talk to, from his introspection to his philosophy, to Avatar's incredible, if not sometimes frightful music, he always has something interesting to say. Avatar just put out a new song called "Captain Goat" from an as-of-yet unannounced new album. They have a headline tour coming to the States this fall, then opening dates booked wi...

June 5, 2025 • 32 mins
Before the release of their self-titled debut in early 2020, weeks before the pandemic struck, the band BRKN Love had been on the road doing what all new bands do. They were paying their dues and building a fan base, which included me. Since then, they have put out two more albums, each one doing just a bit better than the previous.

Rockcast 417 - Josh Katz of Badflower

May 29, 2025 • 17 mins
Over the past decade, it's been the band Badflower to take a torch once carried by bands like My Chemical Romance and carry it into the realms of modern rock. Lead singer Josh Katz wears his heart on his sleeve with lyrics that resonate with anyone, no matter what they might be going through. That has never been more evident than on their latest single, "Paws," all about the possibility of losing his dog and best friend. That song,...

Rockcast 416 - Dave Stephens of We Came As Romans

May 23, 2025 • 23 mins
Losing a band member is one thing, but losing a member to a tragic death is an entirely another thing. We Came As Romans lost their singer, Kyle Pavone, in 2018 to what was ruled an accidental overdose. That's a hard task to overcome, but not for this band. We Came as Romans have overcome everything thrown at them, and not only did they survive, but they've strived. Founding member and singer (the band with Kyle had two singers), D...

20 years is a long time to be in a band, but sometimes it takes that long to truly break through and become more than just underground heroes. The Devil Wears Prada is doing exactly that with a string of recent hits and a new song, "For You," that's poised to take the band to new heights. Plus, you'd be hard pressed to find a better live band than them. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Jeremy DePoyster joins me this week to break it all...

May 2, 2025 • 31 mins
The band Dinosaur Pile-Up just announced a new album and released two new songs. After kicking down the door of mainstream rock with the 2019 album Celebrity Mansions, we haven't really heard much from the band. There's a good reason for that, lead singer Matt Bigland was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a digestive disease that wrecks your insides.

Have you ever wondered what bands do during their off time? Like when they aren't on the road or in the middle of a new album. Well, artists do what artists do, and that is creative creation. In this case, that creation is music. While Theory of a Deadman should be on break, Tyler has been hard at work on some new tunes and making amazing fashion choices.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
