The Kerri Edelmans Show presents Hard Rock Band New Theory

Formed in 2004, the Hard Rock Band New Theory was developed with the intent of creating a heave melodic sound.  The band consists Steven Miller (Vocals), Karl Myiow (Guitar), Tom Fitzgibbons (Drums) and Sean Murray (Bass).  Their heavy melodic sound is accomplished with Steven’s powerful and compelling vocals along with Sean’s intense bass playing and with Tom’s profound drumming to complete the intricate rhythm section while Karl’s dark, driving guitars provide the edge.  This Jersey Shore based group has a sound that has been compared to A Perfect Circle, Nickelback and Staind!  Each song is composed in such a way that it will take the listener on their own distinct journey.   New Theory is in many words...self-made!  Their hard work and determination demonstrate that they have proven they have what it takes to make it on their own terms by having a heavy new album, endless touring and a prime spot in the Battle of the Bands Competition.  New Theory has played with national touring bands such as Biohazard, GG Allen, The Murder Junkies and Flogging Molly.  Their album ‘Premonition’ succeeds in powerfully exuding their angst and criticisms of society without cynicism or regrets.  Music will be featured off of their album, ‘Third World Album,’ on the show.

The Kerri Edelman Show - Adam Mansbach, Sponsors & Plugs

Unfortunately, Author Adam Mansbach's interview will be rescheduled to a new date as his plane was delayed. The show tonight featured information about Adam Mansbach as well as plugged the sponosors of the show and many exciting upcoming interviews! I will be interviewing Author Adam Mansbach about his most recent children’s book titled ‘Go the F@ck to Sleep.’ I came across this book when I heard it mentioned on The Howard Stern Show as Adam was doing an interview about it with The Howard 100 News Team. ‘Go the F@ck to Sleep’ is a bedtime book written for parents who live in the ‘real world,’ where nursery rhymes and other cute childish tactics do not always blissfully send children off to dreamland. The language used in the book is profane, affection yet radically honest as it captures the familiar and often ‘unspoken’ tribulations of putting your child down for the night. Also described as beautiful, subversive and pant-wettingly funny, this book is meant for new, old and expectant parents. It should probably not be read to your child! Adam Mansbach is a well-known published author and New Voices of Professor at Rutger’s University. Adam attended Columbia University and received a Master’s of Fine Arts in Fiction Writing. He has authored many books including ‘The End of the Jews’ (Spiegel & Grau), ‘Angry Black White Boy’ (Crown), Shackling Water’ (Doubleday, 2002) as well as a poetry collection titled ‘genius b-boy cynics getting weeded in the garden of delights’ (Subway & Elevated, 2002) and an anthology of original short stories which he co-edited with T Cooper titled ‘A Fictional History of the United States With Huge Chunks Missing’ (Akashic, 2006).
