I recently caught up with Jessie May and Jim Clegg, the powerhouse duo behind Connecticut’s own TURKEY VULTURE. Known for their ferocious blend of punk, doom metal, and stoner rock, Turkey Vulture has been making waves in the heavy music scene with their raw and unpolished sound. Their latest EP, “On The List,” set to release on October 25, 2024, promises to be their most intense work yet, featuring gritty anthems and a unique blend of influences1. Jessie May, with her aggressive vocals and melodic basslines, and Jim Clegg, with his freight-train drumming, bring a dynamic energy that’s hard to match. We dive into their creative process, the stories behind their new tracks, and what it’s like balancing life as musicians and parents.

The Bloody Legends & Alien Ant Farm Terry Corso

Saturday Aug 24, 2024
The Bloody Legends catch up with Alien Ant Farm Guitarist and Riff Lord Terry Corso to discuss the latest album mANTras, the upcoming Australian 2025 tour with CKY, and all things Alien Ant Farm. Two decades after ALIEN ANT FARM topped the charts worldwide with their singles Movies and Smooth Criminal (#3 and #1 on Australian Charts, respectively), you still cannot visit a rock club or turn on rock radio without hearing those songs blasted; evoking joyful memories of a better time when rock music ruled the world and auto-tuned garbage was far off in the distant future. As great as chart success may be, however, Alien Ant Farm's enduring legacy derives from the seemingly endless catalog of incredibly crafted and equally worthy alt metal anthems such as Yellow Pages, Homage, Godlike, Glow, Forgive & Forget, Last dAntz, etc. and of course, the energy, ferocity and dedication with which they deliver those songs in a live setting. 2025 will see Alien Ant farm make their very long-awaited return to Australia for a co-headline tour with the equally iconic CKY, fresh off of their successful North American and European "CKY 25 Years" celebration touring.

I recently caught up with Nathan and James from Canadian Blackened Metal Band Hell Is Other People to discuss the latest upcoming album Moirae, due out on October 11th via Transcending Obscurity Records and all things Hell Is Other People. About HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE: Based out of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE produces blackened hardcore with a surprisingly emotional edge. Their music delivers an eerie ambiance across guitar-driven tracks, contrasting instrumental layers, and evocative moods. Initially starting as a post-hardcore act in 2014, the band gradually incorporated more black metal influences, evolving into a post-black style with atmospheric flourishes.
