Hammercocks Beer and Bones Tour: Stop # 6 Columbus Ohio
Children of Reagan sparked the mosh pit, playing hard and fast old school punk while Sub X led a high energy, beer skating set featuring dirty rock songs like One Night Stand, Your Future, and Shotgun Hero.
Headliners Hammercocks’ rocked bodies all night with southern driven, heavy punk ‘n’ roll party tunes. They performed the bulk of their fire spitting selections from the Beer and Bones album however, did not end the night without tossing in some throwbacks for die-hard fans to enjoy.
Pledging their duty to serve communion at the altar of rock, Hammercocks combine elements early rock 'n roll, thrash metal and hell raisin country into whiskey drenched, punch you in the face punk rock. Always a good time!
Get the latest from Hammercocks here.

2011 WOODSHOCK: One Rockin' Weekend!
40 bands + 2 stages + Legend Valley = WOODSHOCK 2011!
2011 WOODSHOCK. August 5- 7th. Legend Valley Thornville, Ohio. Rock out for three days to the sounds of over 40 bands including favorite Ohio local and national touring acts like Bobaflex and Kottonmouth Kings. Tickets are $60 which is actually pretty good considering that fee includes camping, shower facilities, and more. This is one summer festival that you do not wanna miss!
The three must see up and coming Columbus bands during the festival in my opinion are Abstract Absence, 7th Cycle and SEVER.
Plain City, Ohio hard rockers Abstract Absence are currently working on a new album and will have some fresh tracks to serve at this year’s WOODSHOCK. No stranger to sharing the stage with heavy metal megastars, AA has opened for major label bands such as Cold, Kopek, and Mushroomhead.
Like Abstract Absence on Facebook!
For a some straight shooting rock n’ roll dipped in early 90’s nostalgia, one band to see during WOODSHOCK is definitely this year’s Rock on The Range, Battle of the Band champs 7th Cycle! Their well deserved success is exploding so it’s only right to see their added awesomeness to this schedule of good times.
Like 7th Cycle on Facebook!
Columbus metal outfit SEVER brings the BROOOTAL! Since the band’s inception in January 2010, SEVER continues to make big splashing waves amidst the Columbus metal music scene, opening for heavy hitters like SEVENDUST, All That Remains, Straight Line Stitch, Flaw and more! Guitarist Aaron Snyder wants you all to know: "SEVER is back by demand for WOODSHOCK 2011 and we have every intention of bringing you one CLASS A FACE MELTING PERFORMANCE! We played last year and it was an Amazing experience! We are looking forward to rocking WOODSHOCK 2011!”

Strong Women In Music Concert Interview Series: The Main Event, MC Lyte
Interviews with MC Lyte, Dr. E and musical director Ronnie Burrage.
Before she rocked Penn State fans with hits like "Cha Cha Cha", "Poor Georgie", "Ruffneck" and “Self Destruction”, I had the honor and pleasure of catching up with MC Lyte for an exclusive EAR CANDI interview.
Thank you again MC Lyte, meeting you was truly a dream come true! - Ebony Jeanette
EAR CANDI: While in the studio recording "Self Destruction" with Daddy-O and LL Cool J, why did you and LL decide to change the original lyrics for your part?
MC LYTE: I think what I did on that rhyme originally was put in statistics, like hard core numbers of how many kids were actually dying due to violence and it was a little too strong. You know I have always been the one to tell the truth so we just broke it down and LL and I wrote it together. We took it line by line and really thought about what was going to be most potent, but not give so much information that it becomes overbearing.
EAR CANDI: What does it mean to be a strong woman in music to you?
MC LYTE: Stand up for what it is you believe, never be taken advantage of and do what it is that makes you happy!
EAR CANDI: What is your favorite lyric of all time?
MC LYTE: Oh boy! Well, Chuck D said it best: Because I’m public enemy number ONE!
EAR CANDI: You’ve been all over the world, where is the one place aside from your stomping grounds, you feel most at home?
MC LYTE: Philly reminds me most of New York.
EAR CANDI: Just My Take is your first self published literary piece, can we expect any future pieces from you, will they also be self published?
MC LYTE: You know what, I don't know - it depends on whether they are fiction or non, because I really don't like to wait, you know?
EAR CANDI: Is that why you chose to self publish rather than go though an agency?
MC LYTE: Yes, I have a literary agent but giving it to them means that the shape or the mold in which i speak would be changed as a result of editing.
EAR CANDI: What advice do you give to young female emcees who are working to break into the industry without over-sexualizing themselves for attention?
MC LYTE: You just have to stay true to who you are, speak truth and ask a lot of questions so that you can be educated about the decisions you make.
EAR CANDI: And you’ve done so much already, where do you see yourself in the next 10 years?
MC LYTE: Oh I don't know, (chuckles) I go day by day!
EAR CANDI: Do you have a motto that you live by?
MC LYTE: Do whatever is necessary to be happy. So, whatever that means for you as an individual.
EAR CANDI: When you are on the road touring, what is the one item you can not be without?
MC LYTE: Probably my laptop or Ipod, something that gives me music - I really need that!
EAR CANDI: Artist receiving the most plays on your Ipod right now?
MC LYTE: Niki Minaj.
