This week, we're scratching The Itch to recommend some recent releases with a Fall Rock Roundup! Join us as we each recommend a new album from an artist that represents our own favorite slice of The Itch's musical pie: KC's blues rock swagger with Blacktop Mojo's self-titled, Dan's hard rock angst with Ded's "School of Thought", and Aaron's high-energy genre hopping with Des Roc's "A Real Good Person in a Real Bad Place". And stay tuned to the end, when the guys go fully off the rails with ideas...

This week, we're scratching The Itch to talk about a festival we didn't (but also did) see! Welcome to Rockville took place a few weeks back in Daytona, Florida.

A couple weeks back, Aaron chose violence by suggesting that the Fall Out Boy/John Mayer cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was better than the new one by From Ashes to New.
