Forty years ago, a band burst onto the Sunset Strip scene with a sound that was raw, powerful, and undeniably metal. That band was Rough Cutt, and their self-titled debut album became an instant classic, produced by Tom Allom—the man behind the board for Judas Priest and Def Leppard and having the legendary Ronnie James and Wendy Dio co-writing the track "Take Her."

Fast forward to 2025, and founding drummer Dave Alford has put together Rockin' Dave's Rough Cutt to celebrate 40 years of amazing Rough Cutt music. He's surrounded himself with very talented musicians who deliver Rough Cutt music at the highest level—frontman Scott Board from No Love Lost with his incredible vocal range, a new twin-axe attack duo and Dave himself delivering the thunder.

Today we've got Dave and Scott right here to talk about the band's history, working with Dio, Scott stepping in for Paul Shortino, new music, and a possible 2026 tour and new music that's going to remind the world why Rough Cutt still matters.

So listen up, things are about to get ROUGH!

This is an INCREDIBLE interview with frontman Todd Poole of Roxy Blue.

Here's what we dive into:

🔥Todd talks about the recent passing of original Roxy Blue drummer Scott Trammell and how they remained close over the years, even working on projects outside of Roxy Blue.

🔥 The band's meteoric rise and sudden halt when grunge took over

🔥 How he helped form SALIVA (yeah, THAT Saliva!)

🔥 The time he almost became the lead singer of Warrant

🔥 The REAL story behind Jani Lane's over-the-top smile in the Cherry Pie video

🔥 Remembering original Roxy Blue drummer Scott Trammell

🔥 Why he refuses to play the band's iconic song "Rob The Cradle" anymore

🔥 What's coming next for Roxy Blue fans!

This conversation is RAW, HONEST, and full of nostaglia.

As a son of a Vietnam Veteran, I have witnessed first hand how Veterans don't get the recognition or benefits they need here in the our country. After everything they've sacrificed, too many struggle to access healthcare, housing, and the support they deserve.

Navy Veteran AJ Fratto is not only a former aviation rescue swimmer (AIRRS), but also a talented music performer with an impressive career. He's been involved with Queensryche and was a guest on the American Soldier album in 2009. AJ also operates a non-profit organization that helps rescue pitbulls, helps veterans receive benefits and supports women of sexual assault in the workplace.

Supporting veterans like my father and AJ means standing up for the people who stood up for us. We can and must do better for our veterans.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Happy Veterans Day!

Today, host Joe Augustine becomes a fan boy when he interviews special guest, Ron Freschi, guitarist from the band Babylon A.D. Now, if you remember their debut, you know they could throw down. But it was their sophomore album, 'Nothing Sacred,' that really showed what this band was made of.

This record gave us two top-ten metal singles—'Bad Blood' and 'So Savage the Heart'—tracks that should've been spinning in every tape deck and CD player from coast to coast. Heavily influenced by the rock gods we all worshipped—Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, UFO—Babylon A.D. delivered big melodies, bigger riffs, and pure rock 'n' roll swagger.

'Nothing Sacred' is what a lot of us call an underappreciated gem. It hit right when the grunge wave was crashing down, but the talent and the songs? They're still undeniable.

But here's the thing—Babylon A.D. isn't just living in the past. They're still out there doing what they do best: making music and hitting the road. Their new album, 'When The World Stops,' proves they've still got that fire, delivering the same high-energy rock 'n' roll that made us fall in love with them decades ago.

And that's what it's all about, folks—supporting the musicians who've given us the soundtrack to our lives, as Babylon A.D. did for host Joe Augustine during his senior year of high school. Also, our host finally finds out a burning question 35 years in the making, what does the A.D. in Babylon A.D. stand for?

We were having a sugar rush at the 'Wherever I May Roam Studio' with one of rock’s most legendary bands — The Sweet. From icons tracks like the “Ballroom Blitz” to “Fox on the Run,” their music defined a generation and still resonates today.

Join host Joe Augustine as he chatted with guitarist Jimmy Burkard and longtime drummer Richie Onori about the band’s incredible legacy, their unforgettable sound, a new lead singer, new material and what keeps that “sweet” magic alive.

We will be rewinding to the year 2001, rather than the 80's and 90's, as our guest David Lynam has built relationships with key players from the 80s and 90s hair metal scene, such as Tom Keifer of Cinderella and Steven Adler, formerly of Guns N' Roses, and in an unexpected turn of events, he has become close friends with Bon Jovi's priest, which is a distinctive aspect of his rock and roll journey.
