In the music business, there are the normies, there are the crazies, and there are the in-betweens. There also happens to be an unspoken netherworld that aligns with something a little stranger and sits outside the boundaries of pretty much everything you know. My guest today, Tommy Meehan, dislikes the comparisons to the influences of his youth, but it's hard not to hear the tones that built the man. His absurdist venom-spouting new act, Squid Pisser, is nothing I've ever heard before.. and that means something extra extra to me. The man is already a guitar god of the underworld who also just happens to be an incredibly warm human which seriously belies his altered state of a stage personality. Squid Pisser's new EP, 'Vaporize a Neighbor' and it's big brother, 'Vaporize a Tadpole,' is out on Bandcamp now and requires listening of a most scrutinous level. It's also recommended that you are looking for something a little confounding, a lot distorted, and that which oozes a bit from a two week old wound. It's disgusting, yet somehow, some way... once you pick the scab off, it's perfect.  Welcome to the new world order of Squid Pisser. This is Rockstar Superhero.  Time Codes:  2:00 The insane vitality of the band 4:00 Hanging out with GWAR 6:30 Tommy's creative projects 9:40 What if there were 3 Tommy's? 13:15 Tommy will never be bored  16:10 Being in a band is like polyamory 18:20 How far is Tommy willing to go? 21:00 Turned on by new sounds and the risk it takes 23:40 Tommy isn't worried about the plan  26:45 When did Tommy become possessed by the magic of music 29:30 Tobi Vail started Riot Grrrl 32:25 New record available via Skin Graft or Squid Pisser Bandcamp pages  35:00 Ambitious metal punk Use of 'Liquified Remains' is provided by Squid Pisser and Skin Graft records, copyright 2023, All Rights Reserved.  The Rockstar Superhero Podcast examines the personal lives and creative careers of your favorite classic rock artists.

Recently, an email arrived from a trusted promotional source in the UK, and much to my surprise it was to let me know about a new band that had risen from the ashes of a legendary metallic hardcore act. I was surprised that a favorite band of mine, Above All, had gone into indefinite haitus. However, the same musical pause had birthed a new project that excited me because my buddy, Tony Maddocks, of the aforementioned Above All, had a new thing and he was fronting it. We had to get together to chat about it, so here we are. Gratefully, we were also joined by Ron D, a monster guitarist and songwriter who has partnered with Tony to create this new metal monster and breaker of souls. I'm happy to be one of the limited few that get to announce the splash of this coming release! This, ladies and gentlemen, is Fates Messenger, and you're listening to Rockstar Superhero. Time Codes: 1:00 What is happening with Tony Maddocks? 3:00 After the reunion show 5:00 The legend that preceeded him 8:00 Production and technology has improved music 11:30 The confidence in playing the material live 14:20 Fates Messenger - SCARS - part 1 17:20 Ron's musical story and future legend 20:20 Driving around and screaming 24:00 Everyone contributes to the songwriting 27:00 Being distracted while recording 29:20 Fates Messenger - SCARS - Part 2 30:00 Tony's voice has matured over the years 33:30 The purpose of others 36:45 Stepping away from music only to come back around 39:40 How do you explain what you sound like these days SCARS' provided for use by Ron D., Tony Maddocks, Fates Messenger, and All Rights Reserved.

Graham Russell is a true musical icon. He and his musical partner of 46 years, Russell Hitchcock, formed Air Supply, the song writing super duo, in the early 70's and really never looked back. Graham's childhood was anything but normal, leaving him without a mother at a very early age. However, these stark beginnings formed in him in a sort of poetry that eventually found its way into the hearts of millions of fans, as Air Supply became a genre unto itself. He is, and will always be, a passionate man, loving his friends and family and especially his fans, with the deepest sense of love and commitment. This is my interview with a sweetheart of a guy, and the writer of songs that make men and women fall in love over and over again. Please enjoy this very special conversation with Graham Russell, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast. Time Codes: Time Codes: 1:00 The early days in the UK 2:30 Becoming mute 5:10 Air Supply is a rock and roll band 8:00 How to be a professional entertainer 10:15 How Graham got to Australia 14:30 Air Supply is quite sincere 18:00 The beautiful moments with his music 21:30 Graham loves his role in the band 24:50 How Russell and Graham met 28:00 The band that makes babies happen 31:30 Celebrity is a weird thing 34:30 Being on the road forever 37:00 Lunch with Princess Diana 40:45 Another album in the future? 43:30 Never quit.

I might say this more than I'd like to admit, but this time I'm 100% positive that UK based trapmetal band, Swarm6ix, is new, inspiring, and confrontational.

Liam O'Connell is the vocalist and guitarist of My Octopus Mind, a Bristol based experimental rock band and one I've become a fan of in recent weeks. Liam is a kind and transparent guest, which makes him a perfect fit for our show. At times, our conversation was challenging, which made it worth the time to connect. Liam was openly candid about his life within the structure of music, the desire to overcome that which is seen as confusing or odd to an audience, and his complete satisfaction with playing to a small room of strangers taking a chance on his band. I hope you enjoy our conversation! My Octopus Mind is a high-energy experimental psych-rock four-piece comprised of drums, guitar, vocals and heavily effected double bass. Since their conception in 2017, the band has developed a wild form of experimental rock, taking a tongue in cheek ride through post-punk swagger and dysfunction, wonky riffs, balkan rhythms and moments of haunting grace. That last word means more than you know. Listen to our chat to learn why. 'Trying To Be Normal,' the third studio album from Bristol's experimental psych-rockers My Octopus Mind is out now on vinyl via Drongo Records. This is Liam O'Connell of My Octopus Mind and you're listening to Sentimental Illness. 1:00 Snippets of influence, especially Jeff Buckley 3:30 Being introduced to Buckley and Radiohead at the same time 6:20 Plumbing the depths of obsession 9:00 Parts of Europe have great musical support 12:00 A package of disparate influences 15:00 Mystery White Boy 17:10 My Octopus Mind - 'Sabertooth Monkey' 18:40 The madness of being a creative 21:20 Parents were eccentric musicians themselves 24:50 The programming of success 27:30 Listening through your own personal lens 29:11 My Octopus Mind - 'Made Outta Gold' 29:45 The ultimate sophomore album is... 32:50 Falling in love with albums you hated originally 34:39 My Octopus Mind - 'Minor Celebrities' 35:40 Dan Reed before the grunge era 38:30 Getting lost in a global market 41:00 Connecting with an audience that is actually listening 'Sabertooth Monkey,' 'Made Outta Gold,' and 'Minor Celebrities' are written and performed by Liam O'Connell and My Octopus Mind and are property of My Octopus Mind.

Harry Springer may compose, produce and perform all of Moon Walker's music in his bedroom, but the electrifying and eclectic sounds feel more fitting for a stadium. It's just that good. That immediate. When Harry formed Moon Walker at the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic, he was looking for a way to pass time and maybe make some extra money selling songs to music libraries. It turns out a lot of things were going to change. Quickly. I am thrilled that Harry shared so much about today about his history and what he believes to be his future. I'm sure you'll have questions, and I am positive Harry will answer them for you. Personally, I think it's so cool that you get to witness this moment in time where Harry is on the cusp of greatness. I hope you'll remember that you heard him here first.

When I think of all the people I've interviewed over the years, very few fall into that short list of people I not only admire as a creative, but one in which I genuinely feel connected to on a cellular level. New York state's own Charles Cure, singer for the legendary hardcore band, Hush, has a new project that is way more than just another new idea. 'Spiritkiller,' which may be the best name for a band ever, is that which Charles is a part of, and who's music you are listening to at this very minute. Spiritkiller embodies all that which rocks and crushes and the music speaks to an era sadly long discarded, but also one of which has never been forgotten. It's musical bliss and takes your humble host all the way back to that first moment when hardcore meant something. On top of all this, Charles and I connect in a rare way, on a wavelength few are willing to straddle. I can't wait for you to hear what we chat about in this show. So, dig it. This is my conversation on the latest and the greatest from Charles Cure of the monstrously talented Spiritkiller, and this is THE Rockstar Superhero podcast. Time codes: 2:30 Finding common ground and respect with my brother, Charles Cure 6:30 We go on stage to put it out there 10:30 Compartmentalizing creative moments 14:40 Working out a licensing deal 19:00 Approaching bands in a new way 23:15 Social media isolates and destroys 28:10 Trying to be a part of a tribe 32:40 The city life vs the rural farm life 37:35 Opinion pieces vs news 42:15 Failing to connect with those you don't agree with 46:45 Falling off the cliff of value 51:00 Defining the singular vs the totality 55:00 Most people don't care and that sucks 59:00 Being good to each other for once 1:03:20 Receiving the best version of oneself Subscribe to both shows here: https://bit.ly/3airCvh Wanna be on the show?

Vojta Pačesný is such a kind and interesting guy. I don't get to talk to many musicians from the former Eastern Bloc in Europe, so learning more about who they are, and what makes their culture and music different, is a really fun process. As it worked out, I was able to get a good 40 minutes with Vojta, talking about his awesome band, Seeing Things, and chatting about life as a musician and local influencer. The best part of these kinds of interviews are the discovery of a new band, a new sound, and a new human who deserves recognition. Make sure you check out the new Seeing Things single, "Soulkiller," because of cours, it is. It's been out for a few weeks now, so what are you waiting for? I should also say that I'm forever grateful for James Illsley at Saviour Management for making these opportunities happen. What a blessed journey this has been. So, thanks for making the time to listen today and make sure you follow Seeing Things wherever you are listening to great metal, rock and roll, or electronica. They are worth your time, for sure. This is my interview with Vojta Pačesný of Seeing Things, and this is the new Rockstar Superhero. Thanks for listening!

Chris Hathcock is known as creative mind and songwriter for the progressive metal band, The Reticent. Chris is also known as a Grammy nominated music educator, and is one of the most interesting, and challenging, humans I've met over my years as a performing artist. I've known Chris for awhile now, and in that time, I've fallen in love with his musical projects. I've also witnessed him suffer traumatic loss at an almost legendary scale. Like all of us, Chris has lost family members and friends over the years, including his father, whom Chris was incredibly close. His father's passing has resulted in Chris creating a new album project where he lays his life and feelings bare in the rarest of ways. You want to reach through his songs to help him heal, but wildly enough, the very reason you want to do that IS because his words and theme touch your aching heart as well. It's quite something to experience. So, this said, I can only warn you that today is not your typical light conversation about an upcoming band or a cautionary tale of celebrity. This is Chris Hathcock, uncompromisingly authentic and desperately seeking anything or anyone that will bring him out of the deep dark hole he's been trapped in as far back as he can remember. This is a conversation about mental illness, surviving it, and admitting that thriving within it doesn't just seem hopeless, but impossible. This is a conversation about the most ugly truths. This is a real life deep dive with my friend, Chris Hathcock, on a very important Rockstar Superhero.

Wowashwow is a foray into a relatively unknown world for me. Growing up, I fancied myself a listener of all types of music... I was open to all genres, but I never really gave those deep soul grooves a chance, because I didn't understand where they were coming from or what they were saying... I don't think I was trying too hard, either. Today, when I hear a new soul groove or delve into certain hip hop singles, I hear aspects that pop, but don't capture me too much. That is until I heard Wow's new single, "Class Enrollment," and well... I was sold. This was a new thing. A new sound. A new world and a heck of a vibe. My conversation with Wow was short, but still all the things. She's an exciting talent with world changing destiny on her mind. She is going to will it into existence and doing what she does, with these beats, pretty much assures you she's correct. So, spend the next 30 minutes catching up with this exciting voice and utterly inspiring woman. She's gonna be hard to beat, and I know of what I speak. This is Wowashwow on your Rockstar Superhero.

On the show today, I spoke to a guitarist who's band is coming up so fast that their legend in the progressive hard rock world seems assured. My chat today with Paul Visser from the supremely talented London based trio, Black Orchid Empire, was an utter joy. When I was growing up, I struggled to find musicians like Paul, because they are so rare. He has his own voice, truly his own style and sound, and he's found 2 other musicians, who, in turn, have made Black Orchid Empire into a must listen. You must listen to them now. You must buy their new record. They are truly special and they make guys like me very happy. You'll see it and hear it today. Hold on, blessed ones, for this is the truth and the power behind the most surprising new band I've heard in years. This is Paul Visser of Black Orchid Empire and this is your boy, Rob Leland, bringing you an "all new for 2023," Rockstar Superhero.

There aren't many surviving old school punk musicians. Many of them have gone on to that great gig in the sky, but those that have survived the last 45 years are the true legacy artists of a long gone generation. Mention Johnny Rotten, Siouxsie Sioux, Nina Hagen, or Henry Rollins and you know they changed the musical landscape forever, and their influence is far reaching. Of all the surviving punks, John Robb is a truly influential human, known not only as a founding member of the legendary Membranes, but as a writer, a commentator, a pundit, and an industry insider for over 30 years. Our conversation today was everything I had hoped it'd be. As you can imagine, this is a man with too many stories, but we got to a few, and most importantly took the opportunity to talk about his AMAZING new book, "The Art of Darkness, the History of Goth." So, to quote Marty DiBergi from Spinal Tap, "enough of my yakkin'.... let's boogie." This is my hour long chat with the legend that is John Robb and this, as always, is your Rockstar Superhero.
