Wilson lead singer Chad Nicefield returns to the show to talk about Wilson calling it day. They catch up on all sorts of stuff that has happened since the 2018 release of their album Tasty Nasty leading up to what will be their final show Dec. 28 at the Crofoot complex in Pontiac. All sorts of Fuckery. http://houseoffuckery.com/ After almost a decade long of global fuckery, Wilson has done the opposite of what every other band seems to do—they stopped taking shit so seriously! In the process of their, “personal awakening” they forged a new path for themselves and their sound by combining their brand of in-your-face rock n roll with the influence of Hip-Hop and all things 90s. Tasty Nasty is fresh, exciting, and most importantly fun! And it all started with a hit of acid. Wilson's vocalist, Chad Nicefield, took a trip to Asia with his friends to pursue happiness. Once he experimented with acid he had a revelation about his life and his outlook on the band’s music changed everything. “I just kind of realized who we are as people and our DNA was that of a bunch of lovable, silly dudes, that love to make music," says Nicefield. "The world needs to know that about us. That needs to be in transparent our music.” Now with no worries or inhibitions holding them back, the guys in Wilson embark on a journey through nostalgia and endearing nonsense on eleven brand new tracks. The opening track, “Dumptruck” is a sonic punch to the face as it kicks in with gang vocals chanting, “This shit bumps, this shit fucks, this shit dumps like a dump truck.” Followed by roaring guitar riffs and a chorus that really does “fuck”, the opener is a perfect dose to set your mind up for the next 35 some-odd-minutes. “Wrong Side of History” follows a Bizkit-ish path, leading you straight into the fever. From that moment on you’re on their ride. With hints of the decade that shaped their musical tastes, combined with slick production and big singalong choruses, Tasty Nasty is equal parts self-deprecating and hilarious. This acid is one hell of a drug, as the fever dream truly kicks in, songs such as “Like A Baller” “My Hustle” and “Summertime Treat” are there to prove it! It’s not until track ten do you get a throwback to the old, heavier side of Wilson with, “House of Fuckery.” But that’s not what this record is about. It’s about looking ahead, not staring in the rearview mirror. And that, my friends, is Tasty Nasty.

“I happen to like Rock & Roll and feel sorry for anyone who only listens to one form of music.” Ice-T is a national treasure and has always had a rock n’ rebel attitude, sampling War Pigs on the first track of his debut rap album to forming the hardcore punk/metal band Body Count influenced by Suicidal Tendencies and Black Sabbath. On this Ep, we give you the full Iceberg, not just the tip. Ice-T started a new genre as the OG of gangsta rap, collaborated with Slayer and Motörhead, on the lineup of the first Lolapalooza (91), starred in the ridiculous Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo and the ambitious New Jack City, and gone from fighting Tipper Gore/PMRC, and vilified by George Bush with the controversial track “Cop Killer” to as mainstream as being on a Geico commercial and Law & Order SVU for two decades. Love him or hate him, join two middle class Caucasians (LC & Joey Haynie) as we cover a truly unique and fascinating American success story. Note. This Ep has more references to Journey and Color Me Badd then one would expect. $10 Cobras & Fire T-Shirt - FREE SHIPPING COBRA STORE: https://cobrasandfire.com/product/rocknpod-expo-bots/

RACHEL BOLAN Rachel Bolan is the co-founder and songwriter for the band SKID ROW. Rachel realized that he wanted to be a performer at a very young age when he went to see Liberace with his parents and Grandmother. "I was only 5 years old, but was taken aback by the energy that filled the venue" Rachel said. It was after that moment he began listening to all the records that his brother and sisters owned. The first record he purchased was The Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers. It changed his life. After that he was turned on to the likes of Alice Cooper, Kiss, Sex Pistols and Ramones to name a few. His first gig was in 1978 at Manasquan high school in Manasquan, NJ. In 1986 Rachel met Snake and the rest is history. Outside of Skid Row, Rachel produces other bands and writes songs for other artists, sports teams and with Snake writes music for ESPN.
