Cool stuff. They even talk “guitar geek” during the interview and about Sweet’s newest “Sunshine Lies” which is a pretty damn good major label release.
Recently described in SPIN magazine as “a high-energy cross between Brian Wilson, Paul Stanley, and Elton John,” Adam Marsland has had one of the more prolific and intriguing music careers of the last 10 years. He’s shared studio space with Weezer, and performed with legendary bands, The Wondermints and The Negro Problem. Most power pop fans are familar with his first band, Cockeyed Ghost and more recently Adam Marsland’s Chaos Band. I was pleased to get a long interview with him.

I just got finished with my interview with The Bellfuries. If you missed the review of the album “Palmyra” then I suggest you take a look – it’s up there for a 2008 top ten nomination. I wanted to learn a little more about the band, so I put together a few questions for band leader Joey Simeone. Check the artists interview button on the right side, or this direct link to the Bellfuries Interview here.
Enjoy it! More reviews coming up for October soon.
This is my exclusive interview with Robby Takac, bassist for the Goo Goo Dolls. Bobby was very gracious, despite the fact that I can’t pronounce his last name. After 20 years, the Goo Goo Dolls are considered the gold standard for melodic alternative rock and still going very strong. We talk about the new album they are recording in Buffalo, fame, stage gaffs, and the music business in the digital age.
