Eric Jerardi Leaves This Game to Chance - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s the day before September 11, 2026, the 25th anniversary of the devastating terrorist attacks on the United States. Singer/guitarist Eric Jerardi is Zooming from what looks like a dimly lit underground bunker. But is actually a storage room, surrounded by various wooden bottle crates in the Dayton, Ohio gourmet food/wine shop that he owns and operates (more on that later). Jerardi has only got a certain amount of time to talk about his upcoming new album, The Game, though. He’s got to make a
A Rock and Roll History Unlike Any Other - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most oft-quoted adage about the Velvet Underground—usually credited to musician/producer Brian Eno—is “the first album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band.” Their dark themes, experimental music, sullen imagery, and drug-fueled short life span has made them—in this real world—the ultimate cult band.

Read excerpt

But the genre had a lot more to it—a lot more. In terms of musical styles, diversity, lesser-known players and bands, and a host of behind-the-scenes producers, record company execs, and even scribblers who all had hands
Dave Mustaine Fought Cancer. Guess Who Won? - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After releasing what is likely their final studio album, thrash metal titans Megadeth are crisscrossing the world on their farewell tour. But a few years ago, Dave Mustaine—the band’s co-founder and creative force—almost experienced another goodbye. To his life. In the summer 2019, the singer/guitarist was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma at the back of his tongue. The Big C. But through treatment, radiation, chemotherapy, a little Brazilian jujitsu, and the sheer dogged determination th
