Up Close & Personal with Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet

By Contributing writer and photographer Song River

The land of Michigan has given the world a deluge of multiple necessities and sheer pleasures outside of what at one time was the auto industry mecca. Like its heart and soul of the blue collared working person that breeds an indelible, almost pioneer spirit, the music from here reflects its surroundings as once again this 26th state, added to the Union in January of 1837, is having a rebirth. The possibility of this land known warmly for its industrial explosion in the region of the Great Lakes is now standing at possibly a new dawn... the creation of being a strong contender for the music scene, much like Nashville is today.

With this in mind, the resonating rock and blues plus more yet to be revealed have begun with the band, Greta Van Fleet. They are poised and ready to bring the elements of rock n' roll up to the next level.

Recently bassist Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet took some time out while they are on tour to give their …

Review of Pride Before the Fall by Iron Age Mystics

By Octavio Ramos Jr.

Founded in 2010, Canada’s Iron Age Mystics plays hard rock that the band describes as spiced “with punk, funk, and fun.” The band’s full-length studio CD, collectively titled Pride Before the Fall, lives up to the band’s description. It’s obvious that this band walks its own path, wearing its political ideology with pride with frontman Kevin Connelly’s lyrics right up front, but there’s more to this band than its political beliefs. For one, get ready to get down with some catchy yet hardened rock and roll, and approach that is accessible yet fresh and cool. And second, the band is not releasing Pride Before the Fall in the usual way. For a debut, the band is releasing it as four EPs with the following dates: EP 1 already out as February 19, EP 2 slated for March 20, EP 3 scheduled for April 22, and EP 4 unleashed on May 19.

EP 1 consists of three songs. The first one is the self-titled track, the lyrics addressing the destructive nature of blind patriotism, with gui…

Interview with Disciples of Verity

By Octavio Ramos Jr.

What happens when members of Living Colour and Second Skyn join with members and ex-
members of God Forbid and Negative Sky? You get Disciples of Verity, a new breed of
crossover metal. The band’s opening salvo is titled “Worthy,” for which they created a lyric
video that features Arch Enemy’s Jeff Loomis on guitar. The song is taken from the band’s debut
full-length studio CD, titled Pragmatic Sanction, scheduled for release by The Label
Group/Ingrooves later this winter. Bangs! caught up with bassist George Pond, who gave us
some insight into the band’s formation and the meaning behind their moniker.

Bangs!: What was it that led to the formation of Disciples of Verity?

George Pond: “I was writing a bunch of material with a few friends and really didn’t have a
drummer or a singer in mind. We had compiled a bunch of songs that I programmed drums to
and I was thinking of asking a bunch of friends to—well, I guess—just guest on the record.
“I had a bunch of ideas running around…
