Just ask uber scribe Mark Ashby who was lucky enough to catch up with the always charming singer/guitarist recently to find out all about the band's upcoming UK shows, their 'Live At The Mystic' live set, and what's happening regarding a follow up to the 'Facemelter' album. What he most certainly wasn't expecting was the answer to where that bloody robot off the cover of 'In Rock We Trust' now resides. Read on to find out more.....

 Is the work of John Sloman one of the best-kept secrets in classic rock? He may not be a household name, but the very mention of his name has those "in the know" grinning like fools. Crossing classic rock with elements of soul, funk, blues and jazz, Russ P was quick to take up the chance to chat with self-declared Earl of Grangetown to answer that very question.

 When we asked Tazz Stander to squeeze in as many interviews as she could at this year's High Voltage Festival we expected maybe one or two. What we actually got was two days of something jokingly referred to as 'speed interviewing'. So sit back and join Black Spiders, Glenn Hughes, Marillion, Joe Bonamassa and High On Fire as they all spend "Ten Minutes with Tazz".

Interviews 
Vinnie Stigma is a name synonymous with the New York Hardcore scene largely due to his 30 years spent playing guitar in scene godfathers Agnostic Front, a band Darrel Sutton has been a lifelong fan of. With this in mind it was something of a humbling experience to witness our scribe bumbling away over a cappuccino with Vinnie recently ahead of what would prove to be an explosive gig in Bristol's Fleece venue later that night. We obviously wanted to share this experience with you, so today URTV proudly presents 30 plus minutes of interview mayhem "Stigma-style".
