Loudguns Recruits New Vocalist

Finland's very own hard rock six-piece Loudguns today announces new singer Olli Kärki into the line-up almost a year following the departure of the group's previous vocalist. Loudguns comments:

"We are super excited to have Olli as our new singer. Olli is without a doubt one of the greatest rock singers ever to come out of Finland and he is very charismatic frontman. His tone is similar to Sammy Hagar and I was just blown away when I heard his voice for the first time.

"When we auditioned him the poor guy had just survived a very tough cold and still he sang like a true warrior! Both the band and Olli are very excited to make the 3rd Loudguns album the best there is and the new songs are pure hit circus, so we can't wait to hit the studio." More...

Sunday Old School: Y&T

It's never a happy introduction to an edition of Sunday Old School when we need to kick things off with a tribute. However, following the sad passing of Leonard Haze at the age of 61, it feels appropriate to finally look back at his work with one of America's most underrated heavy metal groups, whose influence has been cited by many but overlooked by more. Of course, I am referring to Yesterday & Today, who would become better known as Y&T.

The band was formed in Oakland, California by Haze, along with Bob Gardner and Wayne Stitzer, who performed bass and keyboards respectively in 1982. Following a brief stint with Robin Irons on guitar and vocals, they replaced him with a guitarist named Dave Meniketti, who also handled vocal duties. Shortly afterwards, they were invited to perform their first gig, which consisted entirely of cover songs and was one of the few, if not only, performance with Wayne Stitzer, who quit a little while later, leading Gardner to take over on keyboards and a new bass player named Phil Kennemore, though Gardner himself would leave in 1974, to be replaced by Joey Alves.
