Interview with Rupa and the April Fishes
By World Music Director | Published October 30th, 2012Yesterday, I had the privilege of interviewing Rupa Marya, lead vocalist of the world fusion group Rupa & the April Fishes.

By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published April 21st, 2012Your favorite metal guru, Bröötalisk (me), interviewed one of the biggest names in “punk metal” back on March 27th: Black Tusk.

That man, for me, is Devin Townsend. I recently saw him play in San Francisco and got the great opportunity to interview him after the show. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to spend…
