Amanda Lyberg From Eva Under Fire On New Music, New Energy and Speaking Truth To Power Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

Eva Under Fire is a KILLER band and catching up with Eva front woman and powerhouse- Amanda Lyberg is always energizing for me as an interviewer.

Why? Because of her power. The band is releasing their new record "Villainous" on July 10th and it's a collection of hard hitting, Metal infused vignettes, each song painting a different picture and telling a different story.

We discuss how "AMANDA" is front and center and how truth rules the music AND the incredible title track that features another QUEEN- Maria Brink from In This Moment. Detroit grit, and how songwriting can be different when you are a licensed therapist. (Which Amanda is)

Don't miss Eva Under Fire out on the road beginning in July with Five Finger Death Punch (which we discuss and means so much to the band)

The perfect way to close out "Women's History Month" .

Mike Fitz and Tommy Skeoch From Bad Marriage on The Spirit Of Rock And Roll Mar 22, 2026

Show notes

Fun, Energy, Grit and Sleaze are back in rock! With the third release from Boston's "Bad Marriage" and in this edition of Carr Stereo, I catch up with guitarists Mike Fitz and Tommy Skeoch (formerly of Tesla) who discuss finding "their sound", how being a "Masshole" defines their vibe,, and putting together their new release "Match Made In Hell" on RFK Media. It's a killer party rock record where guitars are the main party guest, so it was incredible to have the axe team of Mike and Tommy together for this interview. There is a great chemistry within the band and you'll get the feel for why when you listen.

Generation Radio- Supergroup Vibes And New Tunes Mar 15, 2026

Show notes

SUPERGROUP ALERT! And this one is fantastic. Downtime during the Covid pandemic brought Jay DeMarcus from Rascal Flatts, Jason Scheff from Chicago together to put together a band that now consists of additional members Tom Yankton and Chris Rodriguez on Guitar and the amazing drum god Steve Ferrone who has played with everyone from Clapton to Duran Duran to Tom Petty.

The bands second release "Take 2" is arriving on April 17th on Frontiers music and I sat down with Jay and Jason to discuss "putting the band together" , we break down some tunes on the record, recruiting Steve (who replaced original GR drummer , Journey member Deen Castronovo), Jason's "Rush" moments with Alex Lifeson and the guys tell some fun stories during our chat.

Mega talent "warning" on this one....
