Victoria Fire is a female-fronted alternative hard rock band from
Pittsburgh, PA. The band strives to deliver a varietal sound, blending delicate vocals with fiery screams and riff-focused instrumentals.

Founding members Kaitlyn Washko (Vocals) and Andy Oddo (Guitar)
crossed paths in late 2018 and found that they had a shared vision for a new project. After eventually rounding out the lineup with Oddo’s longtime bandmate Cory Schuster on bass and Dan Moore (2019-2022) on drums, the pieces were in place. The band quickly started writing material and playing shows all over their hometown of Pittsburgh, eventually welcoming new drummer Dean Burlon Jr. into the group to replace the departing Moore in late 2022. Victoria Fire has since shared the stage with national acts such as Elisium, 3 Years Hollow, Madame Mayhem, Actor/Observer, Convey, and Fame on Fire.

The band has been working hard in the studio, putting the final touches on their debut EP and will be announcing the EP title and release date in spring 2023. The debut single and music video for their song “Fire” was released on August 26th, 2022. The second single “Let You Go” was released Feb 10th, 2023. Both of these early tracks should give fans a solid glimpse of what they should expect to hear from Victoria Fire going forward.

Pittsburgh’s art-rock four-piece Working Breed, presumably the city’s only band to prominently feature both trombone and musical saw, returns in May of 2023 with its first full-length since 2019, Gaslighter.

Kristian from Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill band joins Bill on episode 667 to discuss his new release “Lower County Outlaw“

A Side Note from Bill: This episode number 666 has been asked about, by many bands throughout the years because of it’s relationship in the lore of metal. A few months back, Utah messaged me to see if this episode was still available because he wanted to be on it… and now time for a Utah/Bill background story.

Back in 2004, I had an idea to start a website that supported the local Alle-Kiski Music Scene. I didn’t really have a budget for it or even a name. Enter Utah who not only came up with the name but paid for the domain to get me underway… akmusicscene.com was born. Utah (and a large group of others) has been a huge supporter over the years of what I’ve been doing and I’m extremely excited that he ended up with the show that was in-demand by so many people in the scene.
