“Everyday Life, Everyday People” Slightly Stoopid Album Review
Everyday Life, Everyday People by Slightly Stoopid
Dance Your Face Off was honored to have the opportunity to review Slightly Stoopid’s 9th full length studio album, “Everyday life, Everyday People”. The album will be released later this week, on July 13th courtesy of Stoopid Records and Silverback Music. We were stoked to sit down and listen to it, especially after their last album “Meanwhile…Back at the Lab” (2015) deservingly hit number 37 on the US Billboard top 200 chart. One thing long time fans of the band (passionately referred to as Stoopidheads) already know is their ability to bring together great artist from all kinds of genres. This album is no different with appearances from Don Carlos, Alborosie, Yellowman, Chali 2na, Ali Campbell, and G Love.

Interview: Emmy Winner Jeff Whitcher
I had the chance to interview Emmy-winning sound designer Jeff Whitcher. Jeff was nice enough to give us some insight into his musical history and how he got to be where he is today in the industry – and I’ll tell you one thing, it sounds like a lot of hard work.
Interview:
I’ve always been nose-deep in music. I personally started my music path with the saxophone way back in elementary school, but have been playing guitar for a good thirteen years since then after seeing a buddy of mine nail the ‘Crazy Train’ solo when we were about fourteen years old. This inspired me more than any artist I was listening to at the time, and I decided I wanted to devote myself to an instrument.
Can you tell me a bit about what the inspiration behind your work consists of? What was it that made you get into music when you were young? Walk me through your process a little bit.
Interview: Chris Kessaris of Parasitic Extirpation
Chris Kessaris, guitarist of Massachusetts death metal band Parasitic Extirpation sat down with us to share some of his musical experiences and to enlighten us with the many projects in which he is involved.
As a young man in his early 30’s, Chris (second from left in band photograph above) has quite the number of achievements under his belt. From his band Parasitic Extirpation, a number of SoundCloud accounts and projects in which he does his own renditions of classic Nintendo Entertainment System and WWE songs, Chris is an extremely busy man. At one point in time a guitar instructor, Chris has a knack for learning and teaching. Graduating several years ago with a degree in music, Chris remains a student of music. He told us that he will never be where he wants to be with his music, and ever since the day he heard guitarist Chris Broderick (Megadeth, Nevermore) many years ago, the talents expressed by Broderick pissed him off (in admiration for his skills) so much that this became the leading cause in his drive to constantly be improving upon his own talents.
