In their own words, "just say no to gingivitis."

If you're familiar with the Minnesota metal and rock scene, you just might recognize a few of these faces.

It was sure as hell better than anything you would've seen at the Grammys! Mainly because they refuse to acknowledge the rock and metal genres, but I digress...

Let's be honest? Did any of rock and metal fans even watch the 2018 Grammys last night? I sure as hell didn't, and I have my reasons.

Ladies and gentleman, let me first disclose that I don't trust the Grammys at all. This year, however, that has changed.

For the week of November 6th, we were introduced to some new music from icons in both hard rock and metal.

For the week of October 23rd, 2017, things got real!

This Rochester band will really melt your face with original tunes, and definitely provide some seriously heavy grooves when they dive into their own Metallica tribute at North Star Bar.

We're featuring them in this week's edition of Minnesota Brutal, your home for local metal on Z-ROCK 107.7!

Quite literally, these guys from the Twin Cities are brand spanking new - and you need to know them.
