Wayland

Texas is freezing!!! The cold air makes it painful to step off the bus! WOW! Everyone always says that we should be used to cold weather, being from Michigan, but it's something I've never gotten used to. There's no coincidence in the fact that we route our tours down South in the winter! Ha ha!

Yesterday, we left Daytona Beach, Fla., and drove all the way to Jackson, Miss. We split up the drive between Tyler, Chip, and Mitch. I spent most of the day responding to emails and planning upcoming shows. Mitch and I are organizing the time we plan to spend in L.A. next week. We'll only have two or three days in a studio, and need to figure out how to make the most out of the time. We have a f

On Sunday, we ended up at a high-rise Super Bowl party that never turned on the game. Ha ha! The view of the Atlantic Ocean from up there was just amazing and most of us never even noticed that the game wasn't on until it was almost over; oops...

Last night was one of those loud, hot and sweaty shows where some people were kicked out before we played for being too drunk. Others were knocked out cold by security, and the stage had 15 floor monitors that didn't work! It was a rowdy night in Daytona Beach!  There was something in the air that brought the "crazy" out in everyone last night!! We had a great crowd of dedicated Wayland

Guitarist Phil Vilenski from Wayland agreed to become a touring contributor to WGRD.com. So, keep an eye out for more tour stories from the band! Last night, we played Orlando. Once again we showed up to a stage and PA system that were too small for our live show...

Hometown boys Wayland came to town a couple weeks ago and brought it to The Intersection! If you were there, you saw some awesome stuff go down. If you weren't, well, here is a gallery of pics from the show!

Last Saturday I raced in the Air Force Marathon, fantastic experience with some of my running friends!  I opened my email today to find some photos that were taken during the race.  When I look back to running I remember feeling really crappy but in these photos I just look like a goof ball!  Mile 9 I was flashing the ROCK ON sign... Mile 19 I decided to be a Wayland Warrior!  Then of course there

I had way too much fun at the Wayland/Jackyl show this past Friday at The Intersection. WAY too much fun. In retrospect I probably should have taken things a bit easier. Either way, Wayland put on a kick ass show as did Jackyl. Of course being the "selfie queen" I woke up to a plethora of pictures on my phone. Check them out, If you were at the show then I hope you had as much fun a

Wayland continue their winning ways in the GRD Rocktagon as they dominated challenger Killswitch Engage. They face a new opponent now in English heavy metal band Asking Alexandria.

After an epic battle with fellow West Michigan rockers Pop Evil over the weekend, Wayland have emerged as the current Rocktagon champion. They now face an equally tough challenge in the form of metal titans Killswitch Engage.

I like tonight's match... it's a good one, Pop Evil who got their start on GRD from right here in Grand Rapids, taking on some other Grand Rapids rockers... Wayland! Both bands have new songs out and I want you to vote for the one you like best. Tune in tonight around 8:30 when the Rocktagon is live on GRD.

Alright! This week is a special week, for one thing it's Thanksgiving week! WOOHOO! Who doesn't love Thanksgiving? Secondly I decided to do a special week for the Rocktagon. It'll be a week of themes! Day one I am calling, "local Legends" by that I mean bands that got there start here on GRD...
