Gary Angelo is a staunch supporter of the Youngstown music scene and knows more about all types of music than anyone I’ve ever met. I used to think my tastes were underground or fairly off the radar until I met Gary. Not only did he know every single band I mentioned to him, he gave me about 50 others in the same relative genre that I had never heard of. Sometimes his reference points are so obscure you would swear he was making it up. Then you do a quick Google search, and sure enough an entire discography of some unknown gem of a band comes up and you can’t help but research them for yo...
Radio personality Viking Jim has championed the Youngstown rock scene for years. He’s had to remain fairly quiet in the public eye about what he really thinks. Until now. Ed. note: This article first appeared in the winter 2010 Youngstown Pulse. By B.J. LISKO Youngstown Pulse Magazine Editor I don’t clearly remember the first time I met Viking Jim. It was probably at a Hellvis gig some years back at The Nyabinghi. I’m sure the conversation was blurry and me trying to recollect the details now would be even blurrier. What I do know, is that Vike is one of the good ones. He’s...
Charred Walls of the Damned is not your average metal band. The supergroup explodes onto the stage at Peabody's in Cleveland, with lightning-fast bass plucking, earth-shaking drumming and clear, ear-piercing vocals from Tim "Ripper" Owens, a living legend among metal fans. For those that don't know, Owens, an Akron-native, started out in a Judas Priest cover band called British Steel, named after the Priest album. After lead singer Rob Halford left Judas Priest, Owens' childhood heroes asked him to take Halford's place in 1996, a true Cinderella story that inspired the movie "Rock Star," wi...
It’s tempting to divide books into two categories: those you think you ought to read, and those you actually do. It’s a phenom even Mark Twain commented on (“A classic is a book which people praise and don’t read”), and it’s why Borders usually relegates “Literature” off in some far-from-the-coffee-shop corner and piles all of the other stuff—the stuff you actually read, from Nicholas Sparks to James Patterson to Twilight—in the middle. Now, meet David Sedaris, an author nebulous, intelligent, and funny enough to confuse the categories of what you should read and wha...
