It’s a Friday the 13th edition of Amplified, and this one has a lot to get into.

I talk about new releases from The Black Crowes, Lamb of God, Kim Gordon, Bound in Fear, Sweet Pill, Monstrosity, Witchcraft, and more, plus the records and songs that stood out right away.

On the news side, I get into the Live Nation/Ticketmaster legal fallout, the upcoming Alice Cooper autobiography, a new Judas Priest documentary, a possible Bon Jovi biopic, and updates from Devin Townsend, Corrosion of Conformity, Puscifer, Extreme, Geoff Tate, Six Feet Under, and ’68.

I also go down a 90s alt-rock rabbit hole and talk about bands like Unwound, Slint, Galaxy 500, Neutral Milk Hotel, Dinosaur Jr., and Meat Puppets.

New rock releases, metal news, and whatever else comes to mind.
