Today a dude in a Pest Control van cut me off, so I wrote the number down to the company and prank called them. After doing this, I don't think sales people even listen to you...they just want the sale haha. Have a listen.

Yesterday I was having a few beers at Kullys Original Sports Bar downtown St. Catharines and I heard this guy Dan Serre of Niagara Falls singing on Open Mic Night. He was playing a whole bunch of rock covers...and was pretty damn good so I invited him on the show to play this afternoon. He did a cover of Alexisonfire - Young Cardinals. Check it out.

Lead guitarist John-Angus MacDonald called in to talk up their free show coming up on Friday at the Supercrawl in Hamilton on a stage on James Street. John reveals that HE picks the song and tells us what goes into it. We also chat about the new Best-Of compilation coming out Friday: TIME CAPSULE and the four new songs that are added. If fans order the album in advance they automatically get a bonus album of out-takes and cover versions that won't be available in the near future. Go to...

Jag Tanna guitarist for I Mother Earth checks in and tells us about the band's reunion with Edwin, that first meeting and first rehersal and how it all feels now going into this weekend's show at Lakeside Park, St. Catharines at the Biggs&Barr-BQ. Later this fall IME will hook up with Our Lady Peace & The Standstills for a national tour. We talk about how that come to be. Plus the possibility of some new music with IME & Edwin.

9:30am is very early for a rock band, let alone a band from Vancouver, camping out in Toronto to do a round of promotions for their new album Positive Thinking. Performing in the cellar of the basement of The Whitehouse of Rock at that time also presents its own challenges but once Becky Black plugged in and knocked out “Skin This” and a cover song by The Thermals, it was suddenly Saturday night. After we sat down and talked about the new album (their 6th), which drummer Maya Miller suggests...

John of Nickel Brook Brewing stopped by The Whitehouse of Rock to talk about the beers that will be available at The BBBQ August 27th!

When we first saw the package with their music, we first thought, another Niagara band called after an adult entertainer. Unlike Alexisonfire, AMBER REIGNS, do not take their name from the blonde porn star. The Fort Erie band played a blazing set at Rocksearch 2016 and were crowned this year’s runner’s up! The four guys in Amber Reigns bring in countless influences, ranging from The Beatles to Alice In Chains to Lamb of God to Coheed & Cambria defying any convenient label. Its just great...

Ballroom Babies is a family band in the truest sense of the word. Brothers Mike, Steve & Nathan were weened on their father’s classic rock albums and Hammond B3 organ. It didn’t take long for the Mississauga band to start writing and cutting their own songs. They’ve got a brand new song out in “I Won’t Change” and will head into the studio by the end of summer to complete a new album. Their first album, by their own account was a sprawling effort and the goal this time is to record a more...

Nick Walsh, former lead vox for SLIK TOXIC is the singer for Classic Albums Live's Led Zeppelin 2 show at The Safari Niagara Amphitheatre on July 9th. Nick calls in to talk to Paulie about how he tackles Robert Plant's singing and how the band faithfully play the legendary album and ensure all it's nuances are duplicated, from the "ghost vocals" on "Whole Lotta Love" to the fade out-fade in ending on "Thank You".

Jesse Modz chatted with Ben from Billy Talent about touring, their new record, WTFest, opening up for Guns N Roses, their drummer situation and more. Check it out!

Adam Gontier of Saint Asonia talks with Jesse Modz of 97.7 HTZ-FM. Check Saint Asonia out at WTFest In Brantford June 25th w/ Billy Talent, Monster Truck, The Standstills and more.

My Son The Hurricane (MSTH) call themselves a “14 piece brass-hop beast” with the mantra “anything worth doing is worth overdoing”. My Son The Hurricane mixes Funk, jazz hip-hop & rock powered by a 7 piece horn ensemble with a more conventional 6 piece band & one charismatic MC in Jacob Bergsma. It seems audacious in theory, but on record and on stage it’s magic! My Son The Hurricane are based in Niagara but have members scattered all over the Golden Horseshow, first came to our attention...

Our Intern McCall left me a voicemail asking for dinner gift cards for him and his girlfriend cause he's in the dog house. Then he almost looses his girlfriend. Have a listen.

97.7 HTZ-FM won radio station of the year at the Canadian Music Awards this week, The Biggs and Barr Show won Morning Show of the Year and our boss Jeff won 'Radio Boss' of the year...I was feeling left out so I had my Grandma give me award! Have a listen.

first off - please excuse the sound quality - we're not sure what happened. But its a good chat with Adam Baldwin who's recorded is first full solo album while he waits to return to work with Matt Mays. The new album : No Telling When (Precisely Nineteen Eight-Five)is out on June 24th. In our scrum we go back a little bit to Matt Mays' tour and the sudden passing of a bandmate and its impact. We spent most of the time talking about Adam moving to Toronto to record the new album and how both...

I don't understand how McCall can be this gullible. I really don't. But after working McHappy Day with him today I called him to tell him a woman complained that he copied her phone number down from a ballot she filled out...and then he kind of admitted to doing it...even though it was originally a joke. Haha have a listen to this.
