About All Access Live with Kevin Rankin

I started All Access Live because I believe every artist has a tale worth telling—and the richest, most revealing moments happen off-camera. As someone who has spent life touring and recording in the music industry, I know that the best stories aren’t in the press releases—they’re in the moments of spontaneity. That’s why my promise is simple: no filters, no fluff, just genuine in–depth conversations that bring you closer to the creative minds behind your favorite music, films, and other creative endeavours.

   THE ESCAPE CLUB’S TREVOR STEEL JOINS ALL ACCESS LIVE WITH KEVIN RANKIN

   What better place to talk to one of the voices of the MTV era than backstage at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio, during the Totally Tubular Festival! I caught up with Trevor Steel, lead singer, guitarist and founding member of The Escape Club, for a great conversation about the band’s incredible journey — from their early days in London to becoming one of the biggest crossover success stories of the late ’80s. If you remember “Wild, Wild West,” you remember one of the defining songs of the era. The 1988 smash reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning The Escape Club a Grammy nomination and making the band an international sensation. Their follow-up hits “Shake for the Sheik” and “I’ll Be There” also made the Billboard Top 30. But there’s a whole lot more to Trevor Steel’s story. Trev’s dealt with some heavy losses over the past few years, having lost bandmates Johnny Christoforou after an extended bout of cancer and an unexpected passing from drummer Red Van Broad. Recorded LIVE at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio, during the Totally Tubular Festival, surrounded by some of the artists who helped define the sound of the ’80s. This is another great trip down the musical rabbit hole on ALL ACCESS LIVE!

   ALL ACCESS LIVE WITH DRUMMER ADRIAN WHITE (MEN WITHOUT HATS, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD)

   Get ready for a great conversation with one of the most versatile and accomplished drummers to come out of the Canadian music scene — Adrian White, the powerhouse behind the kit for Men Without Hats! Adrian’s musical journey is anything but ordinary. His resume spans some seriously influential names in rock, metal, industrial and electronic music, including Strapping Young Lad, Front Line Assembly, Delerium, Conjure One, SNFU, Reset and now Men Without Hats! White played drums on Strapping Young Lad’s groundbreaking debut, Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing, contributed to the development of material that became City, and went on to tour extensively with industrial pioneers Front Line Assembly, including the Hard Wired era and the Live Wired release. He also toured North America with Delerium and Conjure One before continuing his work across the Canadian punk, metal and alternative scenes. Since 2018, Adrian has been bringing his powerful, rock-solid drumming to Men Without Hats, helping drive the band's live sound alongside Ivan Doroschuk, Sho Murray and Sahara Sloan. From industrial metal to synth-pop… from Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing to “The Safety Dance” — Adrian White has covered a LOT of musical ground! We'll talk about his incredible career, the evolution of his drumming, working with some of the most innovative artists in alternative music, life on the road, and what it's like to be part of the current Men Without Hats lineup.
