đź’Ą BIG NEWS: The Roger Miret Interview is on Blabbermouth! đź’Ą
Family, I am beyond stoked to share that Blabbermouth.net just featured my interview with the absolute legend and godfather of NYHC, Roger Miret (Agnostic Front)!
Roger is never one to pull punches, and in this sit-down, we got deep into some heavy topics—including why he feels Americans have become non-appreciative of the things we have. It’s a raw, honest, and perspective-shifting conversation that only a veteran like Roger can deliver.
Huge thanks to the team at Blabbermouth for picking this up and helping spread the word. This is exactly the kind of deep-dive content I love bringing to you all right here on Locals.

I want to hear from YOU: Roger mentions that people take too much for granted these days. Do you agree with him? Is the "hardcore" mentality of appreciation disappearing, or is it just evolving?

SickSense isn’t exactly interested in staying in its lane—and the new Funerals EP makes that painfully obvious.
Vicky Psarakis opens up about the band’s darker musical direction, the surprisingly personal story behind A Moment of Violence, and why chasing whatever happens to be commercially popular can be a fast track to sounding like everybody else.
Then the conversation gets downright nasty when AI music enters the picture. Suno, Spotify, musicians skipping the hard work, endless AI-generated albums and the question nobody seems to want to answer: what happens to music when the humans stop being necessary?
Add a new North American tour and a completely DIY approach to keeping the band alive, and this interview goes a hell of a lot deeper than simply talking about a new EP.

Walking into Asia as the new vocalist means stepping directly into the crosshairs of fans who know every note, every lyric and every inflection.
Harry Whitley doesn't shy away from that pressure. He talks about the John Wetton comparison, the challenge of performing the classic songs, and what changed when he finally got the chance to help create brand-new Asia music with Geoff Downes.
Then there's Indigo — the album that puts his own stamp on the band and forces the obvious question: can a new era of Asia actually satisfy fans who grew up with the classics?
Harry also gets into working with some seriously intimidating musicians, the band's chemistry behind the scenes, touring plans, fan reaction and why buying the music still matters in the streaming era.
There's a lot more going on here than just another new album interview.
