Join us in the Electric Fishbowl for the first episode of 2024 with our guest Thom Hazaert, acclaimed musician, author/writer, and music executive. He was co-founder and president of Corporate Punishment Records and currently runs THC: MUSIC, a management firm and label. With David Ellefson, he relaunched legendary metal label Combat Records, as part of EMP Label Group.[1][2][3] Hazaert's work was also influential in the early advent of lifestyle street and viral marketing among rock acts,[4] as an independent consultant for record labels including Flip Records, Interscope Records, Warner Bros. Records, Hollywood Records, Jive Records, and as co-founder of Total Assault Street Teams. Coupled with Thom's big personality and opinions we talk all things rock and metal, then and now including Dave Mustaine's controversial comment about ticket prices. We reflect a bit on FishFest Iv in 2023 and look on to overcoming the stigma of mental health challenges in the music industry. We introduce two new band on the Nashville metal scene - Glasswalker, Weapon of Choice and Dead Runes Iron Song.
Date: July 12, 2023Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioEpisode title and number: S5: E1 - Russ Dwarf - Killer Dwarfs - The Pride of the Canadian SideArtist Bio -Killer Dwarfs (stylized as KiLLeR DWaRfS) is a Canadian hard rock band that formed in late 1981 in Oshawa, Ontario, and enjoyed moderate success in their native Canada in the 1980s. The band is known for its offbeat sense of humor (all band members adopted the surname "Dwarf") and was nominated for two Juno Awards during its career. Killer Dwarfs were sometimes compared to NWOBHM acts such as Iron Maiden and SaxonBefore The Killer Dwarfs formed, the band consisted of Darrell Millar, Bryce Trewin, and Ange Fodero in a group called Sphinx. After Sphinx, Russ Graham entered the picture and they became The Killer Dwarfs. The original line-up consisted of Russ Graham (vocals) and Darrell Millar (drums), along with Bryce Trewin (guitar) and Ange Fodero (bass). Their self-titled 1983 debut album was nominated for a Juno Award and radio stations in the US, particularly in Texas, started to play the album.Trewin and Fodero left the band shortly afterward and were replaced by guitarist Mike Hall and bassist Ron Mayer. This line-up released the band's breakthrough 1986 album Stand Tall, followed by Big Deal in 1988 and Dirty Weapons in 1990. The band received much recognition in Canada and the United States during the 80's, and its videos were in regular rotation at MuchMusic and on the MTV program Headbangers Ball. Gerry Finn replaced Hall in 1992, and the album Method to the Madness was released later that year.The band toured for several years but then parted ways. During the mid-to-late 1990s, the band members pursued other projects. Graham formed a band called PennyBlack, and Hall and Finn both became members of the Canadian metal band Helix. Millar went on to drum for the southern rock band Laidlaw before forming his own Bon Scott era AC/DC tribute band Autobon, which went on to become Automan.ca, which provided Millar with a vehicle for recording original material. On January 5, 2018, it was announced that Killer Dwarfs had signed to Megadeth bassist David Ellefson's EMP Label Group, which would release a Killer Dwarfs' live album called NO GUFF. EMP also announced that it would reissue the band's independently released START@ONE and vocalist Graham's solo debut Wireless, plus new 2019 studio albums from Killer Dwarfs and Russ Dwarf.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist Media Handles:Website - www.killerdwarfsband.comCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

Brand new epsoide out now Dead By Wednesday New Single SOS out Now DEAD BY WEDNESDAY is: Steve Alvarez - Vocals Opus - Drums Mike Modeste - Bass Dave Sharpe - Guitar Connecticut-based metal band DEAD BY WEDNESDAY has revealed a video for the crushing new track “S.O.S.,” the first single to feature new vocalist Steve Alvarez. The video, directed by Alex Vazquez/AVArtdigital, is available today, exclusively via Metal Insider at https://www.metalinsider.net/video/video-premiere-dead-by-wednesday-s-o-s. The single is also available now at DEAD BY WEDNESDAY's Bandcamp page at https://deadbywednesday.bandcamp.com/track/s-o-s. “S.O.S” is a throwback to the angst-ridden roots of early DEAD BY WEDNESDAY releases like Democracy is Dead and The Killing Project while channeling the today's frustration with the state of the world. “We are legitimately pissed,” says drummer Opus. “Frustrations are high for musicians, as well as most people around the world, and we use our music as an outlet. That's why it really sounds angry - because we are! We've also come to realize who we are as a band during this unwanted time off, so we went deep and heavy! It's fast, lean and mean - perfect for the times.” With the current struggles as not only Americans but as humans of this world, the message of “S.O.S.” encapsulates the general outcry for help from all people. With both money and the media running the world, DEAD BY WEDNESDAY felt a message needed to be sent to the people that this is a turning point in history. “'S.O.S.' also shows brotherhood among different races,” Opus says. “It has a strong message. I believe this tune will not only attract a whole new audience, but I also feel like this will please some of the old school DEAD BY WEDNESDAY fans as well.” “S.O.S.” was produced and mastered by Nick Bellmore (Dee Snider, Jasta) at Dexter's Lab Studios, Milford, CT. Established in 2006, DEAD BY WEDNESDAY quickly caught the attention of Hatebreed's Jamey Jasta, who went on to release their debut through his Stillborn Records label. The band has released one EP and four full-length albums, including Darkest of Angels (EMP Label Group), which featured an impressive list of guest vocalists. The quartet's latest release, the self-titled Dead By Wednesday, was released last year via the newly revamped Combat Records, a division of EMP. Opus and guitarist Dave Sharpe, who also serve as touring members of Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson's solo band, will once again join forces with Ellefson for three “End of Days 2020” festival dates with Saliva, A Killer's Confession, The Crowned and many more. End of Days 2020 dates: Friday, October 30 – San Antonio, TX @ Sunset Station Saturday, October 31 – Slidell, LA @ Brown's Village Plaza Sunday, November 1 – Seabrook, TX @ Barge 295 DEAD BY WEDNESDAY online: www.deadbywednesday.com www.facebook.com/deadbywednesday www.twitter.com/deadbywednesday www.instagram.com/deadbywednesday www.youtube.com/DBWtv I really enjoyed SOS I feel that it has a Five Finger Death Punch , Bad Wolves meets Sepultura Vibe.
