Most of us grew up loving her song "Hasta Siempre" honoring the revolutionary Argentinian man "Che Guevara" !!

She is definitely a legend in her own way. I admire the fact that her parents come from different backgrounds yet they taught Nathalie to always have ONE voice.

I had a really great discussion with Nathalie about that special song - her theory on real beauty of a woman & revolution of the earth! + her upcoming project!

REVOLT RADIO INTERVIEWS: LAZZY LUNG













Started by front man Allan, Lazzy Lung started as a solo project that consisted of no lyrics. Allan moved to Lebanon and eventually found musicians who he felt could fit nicely into this project.

The band is now a Four Piece based and gigin' in Beirut and around Lebanon. They move back and forth between Lebanon and Canada like every other day. So in a way, they're like always in tour mode! But kind of like wearing Cowboy boots to a beach party. They are in the studio working on an official release..But they do have a live album that will do you good.

REVOLT RADIO called up Allan & had an interesting discussion, Patrik (The Guitarist) joined us at the end.
This is a band that really gives you that smooth alternative sound - check them out.

REVOLT RADIO INTERVIEWS : DIABOLIC



Diabolic is a truly underground rapper residing in New York City. He is truly not your regular rapper - he specializes in Battle rap where of course only the strong survives.

but then Diabolic isn't your average underground battle emcee, Diabolic speaks to the disillusioned rap fan who is embittered by the state of the mainstream and unsatisfied with the alternatives offered by the underground.

Diabolic's debut album “Liar and a Thief” is set to be released April 6th, 2010 !
The album includes collaboration with long time collaborate & comrade Immortal Technique & other rappers.

The album has been a long time coming, with Diabolic constantly making improvements to the track list with new recordings, but the perfectionist is finally happy and the album is ready for release.

Revolt called up Diabolic & had the below interview/conversation with him PLUS an amazing LIVE FREESTYLE Performed by this unmerciful rapper !
Make sure you check & follow Diabolic; he is definitely coming up strong.
Big shout out to Dennis from Public Wizard for setting this up.
