Rock N Roll....now that we've got your attention.

Used to be a time, not too long ago, when radio was very radio friendly to up and coming and well known local bands and artists. Then came the dreaded corporate ownership monopoly, and too many big and small city stations only paid attention to paying clients. Tap into to every episode of Local loft and bands and artists get top billing.

Over a 22-year run, A.D.D. (Analog Digital Disorder) always has commanded the full attention spans of everyone who gets an earful of their hard driving melodic rock. The Lockport based five-piece band releases their first new single in ten years, Blame, this Friday, April 11th. They introduced the new tune on stage, a week before its premiere, in a roof ripping blazing set at The Forge in Joliet. I talk with guitarists and co-founders Dave Adams and Jeremy Sparta, drummer Ron Bailey and new bassist George. We also catch up with fiery singer Margaret Young (Matilda Moon). They first captured the complete attention of The Kat 105.5 listener nation 14 years ago this week with an unplugged aet in our on-air studio. We rock back and re capture it again.

One time drummer of A.D.D., Jason Delismon found greater attention with his own melodic hard rock band Frontline, and in recent individual music projects. He's getting ready to release a fourth new timely solo single. I have the scoop on it. Plus, a four of a Kind current and vintage crackling set of vinyl LP cuts to honor Record Store Day this Saturday, April 12th.

Not an attention deficit, but a complete and full attention grabber is likely as you focus in on and mosh along with the original Chicagoland metal, punk, alternative rock and power pop soundtrack of:
