Announcing a new partnership with Ripple Music, helmed by two of the most righteous brothers in the music world to bring you “Unearthed Metal by Ray Van Horn, Jr.” The first installment being a side interview I did with Lita Ford in 2012 following my 2009 chat with her for Dee Snider’s House of Hair Online. Here, Lita dished me a generous portion of her memories as a Runaway.

In my time covering music, I interviewed hundreds of musicians. Yet I have an archive of lost footage for projects that fell through the cracks or other writers beat me to the punch on my ideas. I owe it to those people who generously gave me their time to let their voices be heard.

Todd and John are two of my longest friends in the industry, and what they’ve done with their label, website and one-time podcast has been the go-to example of how you do it indie-style. Todd approached me with this idea and I’m delighted to bring you some rad interviews I know you’ll dig.
