Artist Picks: Steve Haley (Haley)

Steve Haley (Haley)
(Former Trashlight Vision axeman Steve Haley has spent 2009 playing guitar-driven sleaze rock in his band, Haley, sharing stages with the like New York Dolls, The Dead Milkmen, and The Birthday Massacre.)

Duff McKagen’s Loaded – “Wasted Heart”
This song is a testament to the fact that the true heart n’ soul of G’N’R left with Slash and company. Great “raising Johnny Thunders” from the dead kinda vibe: honest and pure. This album is good but, man, this tune really stuck out for me.

Mongrel – “Bored to Death”
I was lucky enough to get a pre release of this song and love it. Great driving guitar and passionate vocals make this a definite fave of 2009. Watch out for Mongrel in the coming year.

Volbeat – “Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood”
Drive fast and listen to this song… that’s all. Just do it!
