New Salem Witch Hunters/New Planet Trampoline

Cleveland heavy metal band Boulder once asked the existential hypothetical in the song "Who Care, Baby?" off of their 1999 debut The Rage of It All, "How much rock do you have to live to really live rock?" You can look at any one of the New Salem Witch Hunters at any point in time during the last 30-plus years and find your answer. The New Salem Witch Hunters live rock. Period. And every time that that they play a gig, it's a gathering of the faithful — band and fans, true believers in rock 'n' roll as art form and rock and roll as way of life. (C.J. Klassa)
