10 Years is an American alternative metal band, formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2000. The band features members frontman Jesse Hasek, guitarist Ryan "Tater" Johnson, guitarist Matt Wantland, bassist Lewis "Big Lew" Cosby, and drummer Brian Vodinh. The band was signed to Universal Republic in 2005 and soon after released their major label debut, 'The Autumn Effect' which featured the smash singles "Wasteland" and "Through the Iris." Their sophomore effort, 'Division' was released on May 13, 2008.
Guitarist Matt Wantland of the band 10 Years was kind enough to call in to CleveRock Music Portal headquarters after their kickass performance at Rock on the Range in Columbus the previous weekend to talk about that show, the band's brand new album release, 'Division' (released just eight days before the interview on 5.13.08), the pressures of living up to high standards on their follow up album and avoiding the "sophomore slump," why 10 Years choses to "go deep" with their lyrics in an industry full of generic and meaningless jabber, the success of their debut single "Wasteland," the band's upcoming summer on Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution Tour, and much more. Enjoy!

Billy Howerdel is the founding member, guitarist, songwriter, and producer for the band A Perfect Circle. Howerdel functioned as a guitar technician for Tool during the tour and recording of 'Ćnima,' working with Maynard James Keenan, whom he met in 1992. During this time, Howerdel played Keenan some of his songs, and Keenan offered his vocals if Howerdel ever decided to form a band. Despite originally considering a female singer, Howerdel would eventually accept Keenan's offer. In 1999, Howerdel founded A Perfect Circle, and invited Keenan to join in as the singer.
Billy Howerdel's new band Ashes Divide have officially inked a deal with Island Records and released 'their' debut album on April 8, 2008. Howerdel handled nearly all the instruments in the studio for the release, sans the drums for which he recruited session-man Josh Freese.
Ashes Divide lone band member Billy Howerdel calls in to the CleveRock Music Portal hotline to discuss his recent appearance at Rock on the Range, his new album, 'Keeping Telling Myself It's Alright,' the challenges of stepping up into the spotlight as a solo artist, his other project, A Perfect Circle, his recording process, and the challenge of spreading the word about a new act today.

Sevendust is an alternative metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. They formed in late 1994 under the name Crawlspace but later were forced to change their name to Sevendust when a group from the West Coast claimed rights to Crawlspace. They were originally signed to TVT Records, but then released their fifth album with Winedark Records (through Universal Music) in the US, and Roadrunner Records overseas. Currently, they are signed to their own label 7 Bros. Records in conjuction with Asylum Records.
Sevendust quickly returned to the studio at the end of November 2007 to finish up their 7th studio album, titled 'Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow.' The record was originally slated for a release of March 4, 2008. However, the release date was changed to April 1. The album debuted at #19 on the Billboard 200. Chris Daughtry makes an appearance on Hope and Sorrow along with Alter Bridge members Myles Kennedy and [/b]Mark Tremonti.[/b] Sevendust toured Australia in March 2008, opening for Ozzy Osbourne.
On March 26, 2008, Sevendust announced that Clint Lowery, former guitarist and vocalist for the band, has quit his duties as guitarist for Dark New Day and will be returning to the Sevendust lineup in place of Sonny Mayo. On Lowery's return, Morgan Rose stated "This was extremely tough considering Sonny is our brother and has been amazing to work with. [Sonny] didn't do anything wrong at all; we just owe it to ourselves and all the folks that grew up with us to put our original band back together."
Sevendust's lead guitarist John Connolly takes some time out to talk to CleveRock Music Portal's T. Patrick Fenner backstage at Rock on the Range 2008. Connolly discusses what it means to have guitarist Clint Lowery back in the fold, the excitement and challenges of pulling double duty as musician and producer on a record, the band's recording process, their quick turnaround time between albums, why he wants to give the band's music away, the band's new record, 'Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow,' and his advice to new musicians about getting a record deal.
