Monday March 19th Toxic Exclusive with Xander Demos

Xander Demos

Xander Demos is a high-energy rock and metal guitar player from Pittsburgh, PA. He currently fronts his own solo band, as well as playing lead guitar for Pittsburgh's favorite party rock outfit, Into The Arena. Xander performs in excess of 100 times a year, and he is active in recording collaborations with artists all over the world. Xander plays guitars from Suhr, McNaught and Conklin, with whom he has endorsement deals. His endorsement from these guitar companies is a testament to his impressive skills and his deep commitment to playing the best guitars in the world.

Growing up in the decade of decadence, Xander has been a big fan of everything from pop-metal, Top-40, thrash metal, progressive rock and even dance-related music. As long as there was a hook or a melody, he picked up on it. Xander's main influences are Shawn Lane, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker, Neal Schon, Michael Romeo and John Sykes.

Xander's style ranges from the beautifully melodic to the jaw-droppingly insane. His playing encompasses much of what he has learned and absorbed from other players over the years. One constant in his music is a focus on strong guitar melodies. On February 29, 2012, Xander is releasing full-length follow-up to his EP "Road To Guitarcadia,” which is being mixed by CJ Snare of Firehouse. The album is simply titled, “Guitarcadia,” and it contains 10 incredible tracks of pure guitar heaven. This release will be followed by an instructional DVD, while performing with his two live bands every week and passing on his passion for guitar by giving in person and online instructions to eager students.

In addition to these accomplishments, Xander is an avid animal lover. Always looking for projects that will aid these beautiful creatures, Xander donated a portion of his EP sales to various animal charities.

March 7th Jimmy Allen & Abducted Records

Sic Boy Casey along with Raine & Laine Banks had an exclusive interview with the GREAT and very talented, Jimmy Allen from Against All Will.

Against All Will was formed by guitarist and principal songwriter, Jimmy Allen, an original member of the band Puddle of Mudd (1992–1996) and (2005–2006). He is an award winning songwriter for “Blurry,” “Drift and Die,” and “She Hates Me,” off the ‘Come Clean‘ album, which was responsible for breaking Puddle of Mudd into the mainstream music scene.

The band also features former Soulfly bassist, Cello Dias, whose collaboration on that band’s first 3 albums, Soulfly, Primitive, and Soulfly 3, earned him certified RIAA Gold records in the US, as well as overseas - selling more than 2 millions copies world wide. The other half of this hard hitting rhythm section is former Instinct of Aggression drummer, Phillip Gonyea. Lastly, AAW is powered by the vocals of frontman Jeff Current, formerly of Seven Story Drop.

Against All Will has had one of two tracks (“All About You” and “The Drug I Need”) in the national Active Rock Top 100 songs for nearly a year. Both hit the upper levels of Mediabase Active Rock rankings for independent label releases, right up there with independent rock powerhouse labels like Eleven Seven (Papa Roach, Buck Cherry, Nikki Sixx, etc).

Sirius XM Octane has had “The Drug I Need” in regular airplay rotation for over six months, and the song is currently in their Top 15!
