You've been hearing them on the show for a while now,and hopefully remember them from their in-studio appearance from last year.

Here is my conversation with Eric Ganz,lead vocalist of the band Charlotte.
We chatted about their debut record,"Medusa Groove",which is available now on Eonian Records. We talked about some of the songs on the record,songwriting,and he told a story about his having actually done a gig up the road in Manchester,N.H. Hopefully he'll come our way again soon with Charlotte. The album is terrific and you should definitely give it a listen.

Ratt's first new album in almost 11 years has touched off waves of excitement as it "infests" the hard rock world. I first met Warren down at Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom where the band was about to wrap the tour with Extreme in August '09. That interview went great as did this one. Infestation is an amazing record that gets better every time I hear it. 5 stars,a 10 out of 10,etc..Hope you dig this interview and, as always,hit me up with your thoughts at jim@turnitupshow.com.

Here is my conversation with George Lynch. If you've listened to the show,you know what a huge fan of Dokken I am. The most recent Lynch Mob record was played a lot on the show as well. And I'm getting into Souls Of We because of this interview. This is probably the biggest interview for my show thus far. This is the interview where George mentions that he has been writing songs with Jeff Pilson and Don Dokken for a possible Dokken release in 2011. We also talked about Souls Of We,Lynch Mob,working with other artists,and his upcoming touring with Souls and Lynch Mob. Also included is a 13-minute post-interview discussion with my "metal colleague",fellow dj from "Blacknight Meditations",Mark Pruett.
