CD Review: Nazareth – Big Dogz
I’m pleased to welcome longtime MusicTAP site editor Matt Rowe to ATV for a guest review of the new Nazareth album Big Dogz (which will also be available on vinyl). MusicTAP is a longtime favorite destination of mine for music reviews and release news, so it’s a pleasure to have Matt’s words here on the […]

The ATV Interview: Behind The Wall with Kipp Lennon of Venice
About a month ago, I spent some time talking with vocalist Kipp Lennon of Venice, the California based band of brothers and cousins (and longtime ATV favorites).

Pop Quiz Q&A: Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull
Say the name Ian Anderson and you’re likely to get a huge eyeroll from some rock fans.

Yeah, the same band that bested Metallica for a “Best Metal Performance” Grammy. And yeah, that […]

Rebuilding The Wall: Looking inside the new Roger Waters tour
It’s an event that ATV pal Peter Chakerian said was a really good idea….it just took a while for Roger Waters to see the light. Now with that light fully illuminated, Waters is putting The Wall back up with a 30th anniversary tour celebrating the classic album, a tour that opened earlier this week in […]
The ATV Interview: Rik Emmett
Rik Emmett is one of those guys that came along at an odd point in my path of musical discovery. I knew more about his solo work (because that’s where I encountered his music initially) and less about his glory days as the singer/guitarist for Canadian arena rockers Triumph in the ’70s and ’80s. This […]
