Song Spotlight: Taken Down Below By John Elefante’s Mastedon
Many rock music fans know singer/songwriter John Elefante primarily for his work with the band Kansas. Elefante fronted the band from 1982 to 1984. His role included lead vocalist, songwriter and keyboard player. I am a big fan of the two albums, Vinyl Confessions (1982) and Drastic Measures (1983), that he recorded with Kansas.

That distinction belongs to Fallen (2015). However, I am reserving my judgement. Only time will tell, so ask me in a year and … Continue reading Album Spotlight: God Damn Evil By Stryper
Album Spotlight: Where Moth And Rust Destroy By Tourniquet
Tourniquet is a heavy metal band much like Megadeth. Both bands began as thrash metal bands. Over the course of each band's career they rode the roller-coaster ride of the musical landscape. Both have navigated numerous band lineup changes and essentially retained their signature sound. At the heart of both bands is one constant member … Continue reading Album Spotlight: Where Moth And Rust Destroy By Tourniquet
