  • On this episode, we’re joined by Damian Kolodiy, Filmmaker & Founder of NYC ROCKS, a reality web series that follows people & bands active in today’s rock & metal scene. Damian, a NYC native currently residing in Germany, is promoting his new YouTube series covering the long history of the legendary NYC hard rock band, Riot: IMMORTAL SOUL: A RIOT TRIBUTE & CONCERT FILM.
    His 4-part documentary mini-series explores the history and archives of the different eras of the band, spotlighting specific live performances from each era. The film centers around the Keep It True festival (2022) in Germany, where interviews with Riot fans young and old illustrate this passion for the band. “Immortal Soul” also features interviews with longtime Riot members Don Van Stavern and Mike Flyntz, as well as “New York Rock” author/historian Steven Blush and Keep It True Festival founder Oliver Weinsheimer. The final chapter of the series tells the origin story of the current day formation of the band, Riot V, and how they are well suited to carry on the musical legacy of founder Mark Reale for a new generation of fans.
    In our dialogue with Damian, we learn just how he discovered this underappreciated band decades after their formation, what inspired him to make this film series, & how he set out to what would result in a massive undertaking of a project. Far more than just a chronicle & timeline of the bands career, his unique twist to their story comes to life with the amazing volume of archival content contained in the episodes. With vintage concert footage, 8mm personal film, concert advertisements plus hundreds of never seen before photos obtained from the family & estate of Mark Reale, as the Filmmaker states, “It’s a great story. My goal is so Riot is not forgotten”.
     Additionally, post-conversation with Damian, we caught up with Rick Ventura, Riot Guitarist from 1979 – 1983 & Founder of current & active band, Riot Act. In this exclusive conversation, we get Rick’s commentary on episodes 1 & 2, as well as his reflections from his time in the band, including some great stories from that era! As Rick tells us, this was a great time in his life & something that continues to motivate him to keep the legacy of Riot alive & well decades later.

     In the conversation Biff, is relaxed & in fine humor as he touches on the many historical subjects he captures on the songs & lyrics of the new album: The battle of good vs evil, a guillotine, Roswell, Kubla Khan, radio Pirates, Batlle of Hastings, the burning of the Salem witches & drag racing. In addition, we hear all about the transition from Paul Quinn to their newest member, Brian Tatler on Guitar & how Brian has been the perfect fit both on the road & during the songwriting & album recording. Biff also provides insight about his close friendship with iconic British Acor, Brian Blessed who guested on the album, talks in depth about the Amon Amarth “Saxons & Vikings” video shoot, & discloses the bands’ appreciation for Heavy Metal “Battle Jackets”. And of course, he provides a preview of what to expect for their Spring 2024 US tour with Uriah Heep.

  • Happy Holidays -
    For the last episode of the year we are presenting a 2023 year in review segment by highlighting and discussing some of the stand out and unique episodes from the past year.
    Vernomatic, Metal Walt, Ian O'Rourke and Southern Cal drive this fun reflection show, filled with stories from the road, impromptu interviews and run in with some elite metal talent.
    All bases have been covered in 2023- Authors, Musicians, Photographers, Film Makers and even promoters. We especially take pride in our in-house produced content such as The History Of Metal Series and The Roc N Roll Detention show. It's really amazing to look back and actually see how diverse the content really was.
    Thank you for a fantastic 2023 and we look forward to celebrating our 5 year anniversary with all of you in the spring of 2024.
