[Bill’s Review of the Book] Featuring Music from: Corners of Sanctuary, Illusions of Grandeur, & The Nied’s Hotel Band How quickly did the chapter titles come to you? My dad is a fan of Jay Leno’s Garage, is his garage really like that? I really enjoyed reading about the interactions that you had with the band members. I didn’t expect there to be so much of a back and forth between them and the crews. How often did that happen? I ask this question of bands all the time, and it seems fitting since you talked about how the crew and band didn’t want to hear the band played on off days, what kind of music did the bands listen to when they weren’t on stage? There’s a story where you played the same song 10 times on the jukebox… How many times have you seen “This is Spinal Tap” on the bus? What was the oddest rider item that you were aware of? …What happened in Rio? Why don’t you mention all the bands that you worked with as a roadie? You did some work in the film industry, do you want to touch on that? What was the hardest thing about being on tour? What was your favorite city to go to and why? Were there any moments out on the road where you were thinking I can’t believe I’m here and this is happening? You mentioned you were an art dealer now… Where did writing come from?

Current Members: Brett Anspach, 20, Guitar/Vocals Avery Levan, 20, Bass/Vocals Danny Koury, 22, Guitar Brandon Babcock, 21, Drums Formed in September 2014, UltraViolent had a goal in mind to create music they love and share their message with the world as young upcoming artists. UltraViolent started out by performing covers locally to earn the respect of their small hometown. Once UltraViolent knew their direction was taking a more original and heavier turn, they decided to play in cities that catered more to their style of music. In 2016 the band recorded, mixed, and mastered their first EP, “Five”, all by themselves at the age of 16. The band then branched out into cities such as Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Reading to perform their original music. Eventually they were to expand to the surrounding states to perform their captivating live show. By earning the respect of fans with explosive performances and anthem-like riffs, UltraViolent was a name that quickly became recognizable throughout their local scene. In late 2018 the band released their first music video for the song “Insult to Injury”, the first single from their full length release, “Eviction”. The video gathered over 32k views and 200 shares on Facebook within two weeks. UltraViolent followed up their hit with a lyric video for the next single from Eviction, “Hay in the Needlestack (feat. Merritt Frownfelter)”, their first release of 2019. This video gathered over 15k views on Facebook. UltraViolent released their debut album “Eviction” on June 20th, 2019. Eviction is a concept album that describes the timeline between the inception of humanity, our current state of society, and its inevitable end, ultimately done by our own hand. As a result of the album’s successful reception, UltraViolent signed with DI Records in early June of 2020.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoXnqAVEOH8

  Erik Winger on 3 Questions and a Song #40 With KISS being in the headlines again about Tommy and Eric wearing Ace and Peter’s make up, what are you thoughts on that and what line up do you think was the best KISS line up? Can you tell us a little bit about your musical history? How many times do you get asked if you’re related to Kip Winger? – asked by Bobby C of Royal Honey on Episode 39 About the Song: Ballerina was a song I wrote about not one girl, but kind of an amalgamation of girls I was dating at the time. One girl was probably the main inspiration – she played “Belle” in the Live Stage Show of Beauty and the Beast at Walt Disney World, and the title of the song kind of sprung from that stage environment of singers and dancers. About Erik Winger Genre: Pop Rock Location: Orlando, FL, USA Erik Winger is a singer/songwriter/guitarist from Western PA. For the past 22 years, he’s called Orlando, FL his home. Erik describes his sound as rock/pop with a strong sense of melody and harmony.
