AUGUST 24,
2010 - No band from the aughts personified pre-9/11 innocence like the
power pop progenitors AMERICAN HI-FI. When they released their
self-titled debut CD and it's lead-off single FLAVOR OF THE WEAK in the
early, better-half of 2001, their brash, power
chord-charged pop moment was a welcome change to the teen pop and
rap-metal that one had come to expect from pop radio at that time.
Little did these lads know that they had come up with the template for
other power pop acts to follow in the turbulent decade to come. The
world is a much different place now then it was when AMERICAN HI-FI
made their debut onto the music scene and after having been bounced
from label to label for subsequent releases, the band has chosen to
forego major label acceptance and come out fighting on their latest
release FIGHT THE FREQUENCY. YOU CAN

ABOUT THE HOST: BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn’t
looked back
since.
From January 2005 to March 2009, LUSH was the host of the weekly
internet radio
show ROCKWIRED LIVE. He produced the program for the AMERICAN RADIO
NETWORK. As
the editor-in-chief for ROCKWiRED MAGAZiNE, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED’s
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE (but to a significantly lesser
degree).
“Those were the days before the internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable.” says LUSH “But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I’d be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I’m the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions.”
