    Interview by Horace Cordier and Ian Jane.

    The Rods, who have recently released their latest album Brotherhood Of Metal, have been around since the early eighties and are rightly considered American heavy metal royalty at this point in their career. Drummer Carl Canedy was cool enough to answer a few questions about the band’s past, present and future as well as a few unique side projects he’s been involved with over the years.

    So without further ado…

    Rock! Shock! Pop! - Congratulations on the excellent new album!

    Carl Canedy - Thank you for the kind words. We are happy it’s finally out for the fans to hear!

    When it come to low budget filmmaking, Bill Rebane really has done it all: writer, director, producer, cinematographer, editor, cameraman – you name it, Bill’s done it. Responsible for cult classics like Monster-A-Go-Go, The Giant Spider Invasion and the infamous Blood Harvest, Bill was gracious enough to talk to R!S!P! about his work.

    For a few months now, Titan Comics has been publishing Peepland, a crime story set in the Times Square of the 1980’s. Co-authors Christa Faust and Gary Phillips took the time to talk to us about what went into writing this series, the inspiration behind much of what we see on the pages and more.

    Rock! Shock! Pop!: Christa, the brief biography on your website says that you worked in a Times Square peepshow booth and also as a professional dominatrix. Obviously it’s no coincidence then that Roxy, the heroine in your Peepland series for Titan Comics, works in a peepshow. How many of the elements that are in this series are autobiographical?

    German thrash pioneers Sodom are pretty much legendary at this point in their career. They’ve been playing old school thrash metal for over thirty-five. Tom Angelripper has been the man upfront since day one and, along with of Bernd Kost and Markus Freiwald, has recently released their latest album, Decision Day. Tom took the time to talk to us about the new album, the band’s legacy and more!

    Since March of this year, Image Comics has been publishing The Discipline, a series written by Peter Milligan and illustrated by Leandro Fernandez. The story follows a woman named Melissa, unhappy in her marriage, who “falls in lust with a stranger who's an awful lot more than he seems.” Clearly geared towards an adult audience, the book does not hold back on the sex and violence inherent in its story, but it does so with plenty of style and substance.

    This October, Image will be releasing a trade paperback edition collecting the first six issues of the book (which make up the first storyline. Milligan and Fernandez were good enough to talk to us about their work on this series, and what the future holds.

    Venom Inc. Live At Saint Vitus, Brooklyn NY 6-1-2016
    By Ian Jane and Horace Cordier

    Ian Says…

    Venom Inc., are Venom. At least in a sense. Tony ‘Abaddon’ Bray and Jeff ‘Mantas’ Dunn may not plays drums and guitars with Conrad ‘Cronos’ Lant anymore, but it almost doesn’t matter because these days, they’ve got Tony ‘The Demolition Man’ Dolan on vocals and bass. While Dolan’s work filling in for Venom (not Venom Inc.) in the late eighties and early nineties isn’t as well known as the earlier stuff (thanks in no small part to the fact that most of it has been out of print for years), the guy knows the material and he fits in perfectly.

    And so we have Venom Inc., and the trio is now embarking on their second US tour in a year which kicked off earlier this week with two shows at St. Vitus in Brooklyn, NY. We were lucky     ...

    Ok, so at the New York Comic Con this weekend, Staz had a big promotional thing going on to hype the debut of Ash Verus The Evil Dead later this month. It was kind of neat the way they did it - they setup a life size replica of 'Ash's Trailer' outside on the inner road way. Basically you got to stand in line for the chance to wander through.... a trailer. But it was still fun. Some pictures from that.

    Let’s start in the main hall – here’s where most of the bigger publishers setup shop – they’ll sell you exclusives and hold signings and sometimes Q&A sessions too. There are also a bunch of comic vendors selling back issues, variants, supplies and more.

    Check out the displays from Valiant, Dark Horse, IDW, Archie, Oni and Avatar (selling CGC graded perfect ‘10’ copies of some of their own books?)…




















    …along with booths for Image, Titan and Dynamite.












    J. Scott Campbell even sets up his own booth at the con!




    The vendors are always interesting to see – a lot of the same guys and gals exhibit here every year but there are sometimes some new ones too. Original artwork, vintage comics from     ...

    Following yesterday’s gallery of the show, today we take a look at the cosplay element of the 2015 edition of the New York City Comic Con. Love it or hate it, cosplay has become a HUGE part of what makes conventions like this so popular and it has managed to draw in a whole new crowd of convention goers who attend to show off their work and admire that of others.

    And the conventions, NYCC in particular, encourage this. Given that some of the costumes can and do get a little risqué, the people at ReedPOP (the company that organizes the convention) have rightfully instituted a zero tolerance policy in regards to harassment     ...

    It's pretty safe to say that NYC's Mike Gallo lives and breathes hardcore. As a member of premier NYHC group Agnostic Front for well over ten years, Mike has laid down the heavy bass groove found on all of their albums since 2001's "Dead Yuppies". With the band's newly-released album, "The American Dream Died" receiving solid reviews worldwide, it seemed like a good time for Rock! Shock! Pop! to have a chat with Mike and get his take on the band, the album, the tours, and the state of hardcore.

    Rock! Shock! Pop! - So Shake Electric is out now, Spiders’ second album. How would you say this differs from the first record, Flash Point?

    Ann-Sofie Hoyles -     I think you can hear elements that are similar to some tracks from Flash Point but after Flash Point we started to work more together with the songs so you can hear all of Spiders members in the new album. I think we also got more influences from the late 70's like Heart, T-Rex and David     ...
