Like A Storm guitarist Matt Brooks
InterviewMatt Brooks – Guitarist of Like A Storm. Not only have Like A Storm shared the stage with Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Korn, Steel Panther, Gojira, Godsmack and Black Stone Cherry among others, their single "Love the Way You Hate Me" was #1 on Sirius XM Octane in North America for 5 weeks. Like A Storm’s stateside success makes the band the highest-charting New Zealand rock act in US radio history. Pulled from the KFS archives this interview finds Matt discussing the band producing their own records, what possessed them to use a didgeridoo in metal songs, Kasey’s lacklustre kiwi accent attempt (and possible future as an extra in Oliver Twist), the blues influence on “Wish You Hell”, the struggle that led to the song “Ordinary”, Noel and Liam Gallagher’s sibling rivalry and more. MusicDope – Now Or NeverRev Theory – Light It UpDark New Day - BrotherSkillet – RebirthingSilverchair – One Way MuleDrain STH – Enter My MindLike A Storm – Wish You Hell, Ordinary PLUS: Kasey is beyond grateful that his show is being syndicated all over the world but because he’s the lone Canadian on many overseas stations he decides to clear up some common misconceptions “aboot” his home and native land of Canada for the international listeners. He’ll set the record straight on toques, wrestling polar bears, “free” Health Care, igloos, ice fishing and more. Meteorologist Miri chimes in with a winter weather report and Motel Ferguson loses power after a snow storm. Was it the storm? Was it the gunfire in Kasey’s dumpster fire of a building? Did the landlord just decide that poor folk don’t deserve NOT to freeze to death? Kasey weighs theories in an effort to explain “the night the heat went out in hell”. The Shortlist : Kasey has compiled a list of things he’d rather have than snow including, (but not limited to) : a game of Scrabble with Dog The Bounty Hunter, an Andy Griffith marathon, gout, a beard of bees, a prosthetic head, a collection of Ricky Martin cassettes, a salad and date night with Honey Boo Boo.
