Wailing City Spotlight: Interview With Steph Lussier of Victim Or Victor
Interview By Meghan Killimade
Tell us how Victim Or Victor got started and who are the members & instrumentation?
Victim Or Victor started as an acoustic act by front woman Steph Lussier -- that's me! I'd perform original music acoustic every Tuesday night at Strange Brew Pub for open mic night. Going there every week, performing every week, I made lots of new friends and eventually recruited band members when I was recording my first acoustic EP, "Choices". During the process, I had guest musicians play on a couple tracks and those musicians became my fellow band members. Since then, I've only had one lineup change -- we got a new lead guitarist. The band currently consist of myself, rhythm guitarist and lead singer, Steph Lussier, bassist Dan Jackson, lead guitarist Connor LeBlanc, and drummer Danny Fleet.

Wailing City Spotlight: Interview With Dwayne Eldredge of Mourn The Light
Interview by Meghan Killimade
Mourn The Light has been shredding metal riffs in the area and beyond for quite some time – what’s the history of the band and who are the members & instrumentation?
Mourn the Light is: Andrew Small - Vocals, Dwayne Eldredge - Lead guitars and Backing Vocals, Kieran Beaty - Guitars and Backing Vocals, Bill Herrick - Bass, Kyle Hebner - Drums, Autumn Night - Keys. We started back in 2017 when Greg Gates and I decided to put together something that was no compromise, just what we wanted to do. We went through some early lineup changes because Greg moved away and our early bassist's business took off. We are now a 6 piece with members spread across CT and MA. Kyle Hebner has been on drums since our debut show back in 2018, Bill Herrick on bass has been with us since the first full length, Kieran Beaty (guitars) has been with us since just after the recording of the first album, Andy Small (Vox) and Autumn Night (keys) are new to the band. We are firing on all cylinders now, lots to come.
Wailing City Spotlight: Interview With Sadplant
Interview by Meghan Killimade
You two have a great story – have been best friends since 1986 and have been playing as Sadplant for nearly 2 decades! Tell us the history of Sadplant and how it all began!
Amy: Ben was looking to form a band that was able to tour and was somewhat sober since he had just quit drinking. I had played in bands with him in the past but didn't know how to play the bass, but he felt I could learn. I got thrown into the fire and played my first show on bass a few weeks later. It was awful!
Ben: True story!
