Now you can watch the second of four exclusive video interviews that Noisecreep conducted with Michigan art-rockers Chiodos, who graciously granted us the very first interview since announcing new singer Brandon Bolmer. They're currently recording their new album in New Jersey and talk about Bolmer standing out from other job applicants as a "fresh new voice," as opposed to a carbon copy of departed singer Craig Owens.

The band, mostly Bradley Bell, also addresses the differences and progress that occurred with the membership change. Bolmer also speaks about his past history with Chiodos.

Shadows Fall vocalist Brian Fair has a new hobby. He's taken up golf and while he admits he is no Tiger Woods -- and we mean on the golf course and driving range -- but that he has become addicted tot he sport. "M Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold is also a golfer. A few of the Two Cents guys are golfers, too. We should start the Alice Cooper golf league," Fair told Noisecreep.

Fair picked up the sport from his grandfather and his brother, both of whom are "big golfers" according to the dreadlocked singer. Fair said that his thoroughly metallic look does cause some of the older gents on the golf course to raise their eyebrows. At first.

You may not have the coin to fly down for any of the dates on Guns N' Roses' upcoming South American trek, but the good news is you'll be able to see footage from the concerts, at some point, as Axl Rose has hired music video director Dale "Rage" Resteghini to document the tour.

Resteghini, who has worked with the likes of Madball, Suffocation, and Trivium, will also be shooting stills during the tour. According to a press release, Resteghini has not had the time to focus on anything other than music videos and that still photography has been a long-awaited career swing for Resteghini.

For some musicians, interviews are old hat, especially the acts that have been around 20-plus years. This is the case for Tom Keifer, lead singer and guitarist for the multi-platinum-selling Cinderella. Hailed as a hybrid of hard rock and blues, Cinderella remain one of the most successful bands to emerge from the '80s scene.

All this success means every member of the band has been interviewed a slew of times and sometimes the rockers just want to play games. This is why Noisecreep did wordplay with Tom Keifer instead. The rules? Noisecreep throws out three words or phrases, and the rock star says whatever he wants.

Canadian quartet Social Code, who lay claim to playing "honest, high energy rock 'n' roll," are a resourceful bunch. This throng of rockers gutted bassist Logan Jacobs' basement and transformed it into a home studio, where they recorded their latest album, 'Rock 'n' Roll.' They renovated a Greyhound bus themselves, and use it as their tour vehicle. And guitarist Morgan Gies is a poker player who participates in tournaments whenever and wherever he can, often against his bandmates.

"Yeah you could call it 'resourceful,'" vocalist Travis Nesbitt laughed to Noisecreep. "You could also call it 'crazy.' We tend to get a bit in over our heads, but always dig our way out. When I started playing music, I would have never thought it would involve dry walling and framing. You'd be amazed what you can learn from typing 'how to build your own studio?' in Google."

3 Inches of Blood are true heavy metal road warriors. The Canadian combo spent the last year out on tour, supporting 'Here Waits Thy Doom,' their fourth overall album and debut release for Century Media. Though their New Wave of British of Heavy Metal informed songwriting style has won the group plenty of critical and fan praise, it's 3 Inches of Blood's balls-to-the-wall live show that makes their inclusion on this year's upcoming Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival so thrilling. Noisecreep spoke with guitarist Shane Clark about 3 Inches of Blood's appearance on the tour.

What bands are you looking forward to seeing?

I'm looking forward to seeing Lamb of God, and Hatebreed. LOG is a band that I've listened to a lot over the years, and we had the pleasure of touring with them in 2007. They are also a great bunch of guys, and a powerful live band too. Hatebreed is a group that puts on a great show as well, plus I've gotten to know them well over the years of our bands playing shows together. Good times have always been the focal point when both bands get together.

February was one of the snowiest months ever -- with record snowfall dumping on much of the East Coast and the Midwest. For touring bands, those that drive their own vans like Janus, touring can become a treacherous endeavor. But Janus are from Chicago, one of the chilliest, snowiest cities. So they don't fear the white stuff.

"We were in Tennessee, and they don't salt or do anything to the roads because they are not used to it," vocalist David Scotney told Noisecreep. "There was ice, snow and tractor trailers piled up everywhere. We drive in a foot of snow in Chicago and can be on the highway in the matter of a few hours since we're used to it!"
