  • The Ramones: Debut Album

    The Ramones: Debut Album
    Apr 23 2026
    In the mid-1970s, there was nothing about the rock n’ roll lifestyle that was relatable or obtainable for fans of the genre. The simple chord play and familiar song structure that dominated primitive rock music were things of the past. By the genre’s third decade, intricate and complicated instrumental play had fully taken a death grip on rock. During that same time, New York City had seen better days. The region was full of dilapidated buildings and sketchy characters. The era of The Rat Pack and Mickey Mantle running around the bright lights and big city was gone. It was now Travis Bickle’s Big Apple. And with the angst and frustration of New York literally and figuratively falling apart, a rocking revolution was taking place. Deep into the borough of Queens was the neighborhood of Forest Hills. And that is where a gang consisting of four guys donning leather jackets, tattered sneakers, and worn-out jeans formed to forever change what rock music could look and sound like. On April 23rd, 1976, The Ramones’ debut record was released to the masses. Their cover art was eye-popping, a black and white photo of the four guys leaning against a brick wall in their iconic punk rock garb. Inside the album sleeve contained 14 tracks that combined did not quite crack the half-hour threshold. But the foursome accomplished more in 29 minutes than some bands achieve in 29 years.

  • Metallica: Master of Puppets

    Metallica: Master of Puppets
    Mar 31 2026

    By the time Master of Puppets came out on March 3rd, 1986, Metallica was truly ready to make the jump to the big time. For 6 months that year, they were the opening act for Ozzy Osbourne. It would be the last time the band played second fiddle to anyone on tour.

    Metallica's third studio album grabbed mature concepts and meshed them perfectly with gripping, emotional, and vibrant instrumental play. The album sounded even more operatic and larger than live compared to the group's two previous records. Themes of war, the system, and losing hope were at the heart of one of the most important rock records of the 1980s.

    Metallica had been building to this for years, and it led to the band pushing themselves and the metal genre into untreaded water. But unfortunately, 1986 was also the year a tragic incident forever altered the band’s very foundation.

  • Recapping KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas/Show Update

    Recapping KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas/Show Update
    Mar 2 2026

    The first time I attended KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas, I arrived holding sweaty resumes while riddled with anxiety. Just two years later, the lead singer of The All-American Rejects was telling me he recognized my face from social media.

    This past December, I attended 106.7 KROQ's 34th annual Almost Acoustic Christmas as a member of the press. I was excited to see bands like Rise Against, Social Distortion, Third Eye Blind, and others on that bill in person. It was an experience I will never forget.

    This episode includes an update on the program, including what has been happening at the start of the year and what albums the show will discuss in 2026.
