After finishing a brutal 17 date tour of Europe and a series of American dates I caught up with Todd a couple of days into his break before the band heads to Japan and Australia for a series of shows.

Queensryche have landed in Australia and their tour starts tonight in Brisbane. Check out my chat with Todd as we discuss touring, writing and the simple things in life !! (more…)

Queensryche is back with a new vocalist, new material, and a live show full of blood, sweat and guitars!  The naysayer that said this band could not survive the departure of vocalist Geoff Tate had never met Todd La Torre.  They also had no idea how much fight was left in this band.

This group of musicians had something to prove.  Four years down the road, they have not only proven they belong, they are gaining respect and new fans.  Tate is gone and the band not only survived… they thrived.  Queensryche is rocking as hard as they did on Rage for Order.  This is band on fire!
