  • Beyond the Steel City

    I have been listening to Iron City Rocks since the beginning. It has transformed from a local music show to a show that showcases the best music that Pittsburgh has to offer as well national touring acts making a stop in Pittsburgh. John has a very conversation style and has interviewed some amazing musicians such as George Lynch, Nick Catanese, Tony Iommi, just to name a few. If you love Hard Rock and Metal, and just good old Rock n' Roll, this is the Podcast for you.

    John and company do an excellent job at interviewing today's top hard rock/metal artists. Yes, there's a slant towards the Pittsburgh scene but don't let that stop you. The interviews are in-depth and informative.
