Dischordia drummer Josh Fallin and guitarist Keeno — “I just go by Keeno, mostly. I’m kinda like Prince in that sense. Or Cher, maybe” — have been making metal long enough to weather the demise of four or five different bands, by their estimation. “Everybody’s cycled through, but we’ve always stayed,” said Keeno. So when […]

Dear Diaries
It takes a pretty confident band to tour before it’s even released a record. It takes an even more confident band to do so in a foreign country. Modern Rock Diaries is that band. The Oklahoma City act’s confidence comes from the painstaking effort put into its debut EP and the overwhelming light show that […]

Nutrocker
Trans-Siberian Orchestra guitarist Al Pitrelli has been a good boy this year. But for the guy who’s been the prog-rock Santa Claus to more than 8 million concert attendees since 1999, his gifts come in the forms of fan art, charity and the inseparable intertwining with American holiday culture that powers TSO’s merry sleigh of […]
