CGCM Album Review: Find here all of the album reviews written by the CGCM Podcast hosts since the launch of their brand new website. The CGCM Podcast co-hosts are music passionate individuals who began their blogging carreers at Decibel Geek.

Both Wallygator and The Meister are still involved with Decibel Geek as writers. And Meister is even still the editing director there. Therefore we encourage our readers to check out all the articles, past and present! As always, if you like it, BUY it!
For the past 10 years, a Melodic Rock/AOR festival has resided in the smaller German town of Ludwigsburg. Many fantastic acts have graced the stage there over this decade. After a few friends, namely Swiss Thomas, spoke persuasively and praising the event, it was time to check it out. In 2018 CGCM‘s Rich “The Meister” […]
Gwar came to Glasgow from the frozen wastes of Antarctica bringing the weather with them! A bitter cold night outside of the venue but hot and sticky (as well as drenched) inside, the fans were treated to the usual (or unusual depending on your knowledge of the band) crazy antics with a set that actually […]
Sweet are a band that should really need no introduction to UK readers of CGCM Podcast pages. Although they had 5 top 10 singles stateside they were never as big as here. Known for a huge string of hits in the UK in the 70s, they were seen as teen rock/pop band. The joy was […]
Shawn “Animalize” Irwin of CGCM Podcast was proud to be a part of Lindsay Schoolcraft‘s CD release party live in Toronto on Friday, December 6th, 2019. Here’s his blog of LINDSAY SCHOOLCRAFT – Live in Toronto. Oshawa’s own Lindsay Schoolcraft recently released her debut album Martyr. Now the time has come for her to play […]
CGCM is proud to present The Wild in Toronto. On Friday, November 15, 2019, Canada’s most notorious Hard Rock band rolled into Toronto for a sold-out show at The Bovine Sex Club. CGCM Members, Rich “The Meister” Dillon and Shawn “Animalize” Irwin were on hand for the experience. Here we deliver a whole compliment of content […]
Background To Article: Interview with INFECTED RAIN – Lena Scissorhands, singer and songwriter of the Moldovan metal band. In a very honest and interesting interview held at the Garage in Glasgow, she chats about her lyrics, the English language, substance abuse, being on a major label, passport problems and singer Pink! Fascinating, charming and always interesting, […]
At the somewhat almost silly time of 6:20pm, Infected Rain took to the stage of the Garage in Glasgow. Performing their first-ever show in Scotland and only their second ever in the UK! Being on so early (the venue has a curfew and it was a 3 band bill) meant that the room was a […]
Why? WHY? A million words have been written about how good Y&T are live in concert and that’s because every one of them is true. Witnessing Dave Menketti and the guys at the final show of their UK tour was a true privilege. One of the great mysteries of our time is why Y&T never became true megastars. That question still […]
The band D.A.D once sang that the best damned parties are thrown at “The Rim Of Hell”. After Sunday night I think there is a very good chance that Royal Republic are the house band! They created a fun party atmosphere with people dancing, singing, swaying and rowing imaginary boats at points! Almost a normal […]
Seeing that Finnish band Battle Beast signed on to tour North America with Kamelot and Sonata Arctica both Shawn and I were interested. To be honest, my band out of those three is the stage setters of Battle Beast. Personally, I’m not much into Kamelot or Sonata Arctica. But is it worth the ticket cost […]
