Interviews

Matt DiRito and Leigh Kakaty from Pop Evil debuted the band's new song "Footsteps" Monday on WGRD! On break from touring, the guys have been been back home in West Michigan for a few weeks and were awesome enough to stop by and let GRD be the first to share their new song with the world! The guys talked about Pop Evil's upcoming album and also revealed the band's next show in Grand Rapid

Halestorm has released their brand new album Into the Wild this past week and from what we hear, it kicks a lot of ass. If you listen to WGRD, you are no stranger to Halestorm. Last time they were here, we went go karting, hit the batting cages, and enjoyed their awesome show at Fifth Third Ballpark. Arejay figured it was a good idea to call into WGRD and see what's up.
