SKETCHES BY THE EDITOR

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to Issue #140 of Highwire Daze magazine. We are back on track and ready to explore whatever sonic adventures 2022 has in store for us all. We are only a few weeks in, and it’s already been an adventure in itself trying to put together this new issue in 2 weeks time. Very last minute interviews included a Zoom chat with Lord Ahriman of the legendary black metal band Dark Funeral, a phoner with Todd Kerns from Slash Ft. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, and an in person conversation and Jack Lue photo shoot with the amazing pop punk collective As It Is! Thank you to these bands and their hard working publicists for quickly turning these around! Read their interviews in this issue as they all have brand new albums to share with you!

Here’s hoping 2022 is the year Covid-19 is finally brought under control and we can all bring our lives back to enjoy the things we all love to do like we did before March 2020 hit us all. It will be interesting to look back on all of these pandemic age issues of Highwire Daze and recall how there was once a time that we had no live shows and remember how music kept us all semi-sane. Looking forward to this New Year and hope to see everyone very soon!
