Ahoy Mateys! Ahead be a quick interview I conducted with Swashbuckle, the best shanty core band this side of the Mason-Dixon. The Admiral and Co. put on one of the best sets of the show and made it clear that even though they dress up and talk like jackasses, their shtick is legit.

Interview: Swashbuckle

Dick and I drove all the way to Massachusetts on Sunday to attend LOCOFEST 07. We were blown away by a few bands and completely and utterly under whelmed by even more. Among the best bands there were NJ’s Swashbuckle and of course Ron Thal. Alice Cooper put everyone to shame and I think I put it best while waiting for Heaven and Hell when I said “How could you possibly feel like you’re putting on a legitimate rock show going on after Alice Cooper”. Special thanks to Ron Scalzo for arranging these interviews for us. Our interview with Bumblefoot follows.
