Wrestling Baddie to Rock Goddess: A Tale of the Goldy LockS Band
Wrestling Baddie to Rock Goddess: A Tale of the Goldy LockS Band
If you are a child of the ‘90s or early 2000s, like myself, then chances are you grew up watching wrestling with your dad. It was the one night of the week you were allowed to stay up late because—well—wrestling was coming on. Everyone piled into the living room, surrounding the TV, you and your siblings studying every move to try and recreate later. The sheer excitement when your favorite wrestler's theme song started to play, hyping the crowd all the way to the ring! This was true family time for us growing up, and you don’t realize the lasting impact until you're an adult reminiscing about watching wrestling.
For me, the ladies of wrestling were my favorite, and not just for their beauty. I was amazed by their strength! Seeing a woman that beautiful have the power to take on absolutely shredded men or women was mind-blowing to me. Speaking of beautiful baddies in the wrestling world, let’s talk about the blonde bombshell—Goldy Locks!
From Headlocks to Rock Riffs
Goldy Locks, the beautiful, fierce, and unstoppable former pro wrestling personality, manager, and wrestler from the early 2000s, was always a crowd favorite! With her unbreakable, unapologetic, and sharp tongue, Goldy was a force of nature—the blonde bombshell who could walk into a room and command attention like she owned it! This wrestling baddie did it all, from managing pro wrestlers to interviewing and even wrestling herself for Total Nonstop Action (TNA) IMPACT Wrestling.
I asked Goldy how she got involved in the world of wrestling, and she said:
“My entertainment lawyer at the time was helping the Jarretts start up the promotion. We had a lot of meetings. I would go to Hendersonville, TN, many times to try and get the job. I thought I got it on my own merit, but I’m sure it was her iron fist that secured the deal.”
Some of her biggest accomplishments in wrestling include handling everything they threw her way while keeping her head on straight.
“I’ve had the privilege of being many different characters, all because they believed in my talent and abilities enough to do it. I’m so grateful for those opportunities.”
Another one of her proudest accomplishments has been maintaining friendships with some of the biggest names in wrestling.
“Being in their lives, watching them become parents, and them wanting to attend our band shows—that’s the biggest thing to me ever.”
Goldy is still very much involved in the wrestling industry today. She currently hosts a podcast called Goldy’s Closet under Vince Russo’s The Brand and has been doing it for over seven years. She still makes guest appearances and is actively trying to get back into wrestling. She also has a musical show titled Rain & Riffs featuring her wrestling friend and colleague Mickie James.
The Goldy LockS Band: A Musical Powerhouse
Goldy LockS Band
The Goldy Locks Band is a trio of musical talent! The band is fronted by lead singer Goldy Locks—IMPACT Wrestling’s original knockout. This musical powerhouse also features drummer Rod Saylor and guitarist Johnny Oro, both from Orlando, Florida. Their latest single, Just Say Yes, has already achieved 21 “Best Music Video” awards on the Indie Circuit. This single has become an instant anthem, earning its way onto hundreds of playlists.
Rod Saylor earned a record deal at a very early age, setting the foundation for his career as a seasoned musician. He is the heartbeat of the Goldy Locks Band, bringing his percussive stylings to life. Guitarist Johnny Oro brings a fresh perspective to the band, contributing through his songwriting and delivering face-melting rock riffs that get every crowd on their feet. With musical influences such as Queen, Prince, Elton John, WHAM, and Peter, Paul, & Mary, it’s impossible not to be jolted from your seat!
The Goldy Locks Band has opened for numerous iconic acts, including Stevie Nicks, Saliva, Pink, Pat Benatar, Maroon 5, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Ted Nugent, and many more. When asked if they had a favorite song to perform, they said:
“Any song people love and respond well to is our favorite.”
Giving Back Through Music
The Goldy Locks Band is known for their philanthropic efforts. Their single All to You (released in 2021) aided in suicide prevention. Their cover of Pearl Jam’s Black raised awareness for child abuse prevention, and their hit Today I Won’t Be Afraid has helped raise thousands for organizations like the YWCA (Women’s Domestic Violence Prevention and Aid) and Soles4Souls, which provides shoes and clothing to those in crisis.
Currently, the band is working on I Didn’t Know featuring Mickie James and The Lacs, and their upcoming single Talking to Myself will be released soon. On Mother’s Day, they plan to release You Will Be Remembered, a special song with a music video featuring loved ones of their fans and contributors to their GoFundMe efforts.

Facing Challenges as a Woman in Music
I asked Goldy about the challenges she has faced in the music industry, and her response was, unfortunately, one I’ve heard from many women in the industry:
“Many people that could help us out don’t. They would rather suggest having a ‘sexy time,’ and when you don’t give it to them, they pass you by. When you see them giving all their less talented, less motivated ‘buddies’ the rub, sometimes it hurts. I use this to work harder!”
This is the unfortunate reality for many women in the industry, and Goldy’s resilience in the face of it is inspiring.
Goldy’s Wisdom: Staying Positive Through It All
Goldy has achieved so much in her lifetime, but what makes her truly remarkable is her genuine care for others. When I asked her about life’s greatest accomplishments, she didn’t mention fame or fortune. Instead, she said:
“Staying positive no matter what life dishes out. My mother was terminally ill and always saw the glass overflowing. Out of everything I have done, I’d hope God sees the kindness I’ve shown to some people. I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but all we can do is move forward, fix the blips, and do better next time. My greatest accomplishment is learning from past mistakes.”
Goldy also wants the world to know that sometimes she feels like an alien—like even as an adult, she doesn’t quite fit in. But she’s learned to own it.
“It’s okay to feel that way! Many people feel like weirdos. Always cut yourself some slack when life starts creeping up on you.”
I always ask my interviewees if they have a favorite quote or saying they live by, and Goldy’s response was golden:
“Thanks for giving a shit! I am always excited and surprised when people sincerely care. I think it’s beautiful, and I will always remember it!”
A Personal Reflection
Writing this blog brought back so many childhood memories—fake wrestling rings in the backyard, family time, and the joy of watching wrestling together. These moments feel so lacking in today’s society, and I’m reminded to cherish extra time with my children.
Like Goldy, I was taught from an early age to walk into a room with my head held high and own it. Recently, I was told that my “look-at-me attitude” is too much. For half a second, I considered toning it down—until I remembered that jealousy and self-doubt are often projected onto others. Goldy reminded me that I am a badass at what I do, and I will never again allow someone else's negativity to dull my shine.
Goldy Locks is more than a rock goddess—she is an inspiration to millions of women slaying every day. She builds up others, gives back, and never stops pushing forward. It has been an honor to write this blog and gain a lifelong friend in the process. In her words: I too will burn it all down to protect what’s mine!

Hindsight Hero Releases “More to Life!”
Who are the “Hero’s” behind this new rock anthem?
Hindsight Hero is a female fronted four piece hard rock band based in vibrant, musical Nashville, Tennessee. This hard rock powerhouse is composed of seasoned musicians. Each musician brings their own unique sound, and musical influences with them to which can be heard through their music. Their combined sound and vocal stylings will leave you mesmerized and a fan for life, or in my case “fan girling.” No one could have anticipated that a simple friend request on Facebook, and a fly by the seat of your pants chance meeting up in Nashville, Tennessee, would lead to a meeting of an iconic band such as Hindsight Hero!
The front woman Kelly Nichole, who should be wearing a cape is originally from Butler, Pennsylvania. She was born in Torrance, California. Kelly was previously a member of the rock band known as “Highway 4.” She would stay with this band for around seven years (2010-2017.) Some of Kelly’s musical influences are mostly vocal related include Haley Williams, Chris Cornell, Adam Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and even Nickelback, just to name a few. All of these artists are all vocal geniuses in their own right. Kelly’s voice brings a sense of balance, but do not be fooled she can most certainly dig down deep and let it fiercely roar.
The man in all his honor and clad Jordan Foster, is the guitarist as well as the Vox, and is a songwriter behind the band. Jordan was born and raised in West, Tennessee, and now resides in Nashville. The experienced guitarist has played and toured within numerous projects. The projects would include notorious bands such as Kings Avail, Within Reason, Crash Pilot, and many more. Jordan’s influences are absolute rock giants. Some of these rock giants are Stevie Ray Vaughn, Angus Young, Ian Thornley, Alter Bridge, Sevendust, and Shinedown.
You can catch Nick Yates, strumming it up on the bass guitar. Yates, who was born in Houston, Texas settled his roots in Lexington, Tennessee. Nick would begin playing guitar at the age of nine. He has written songs as well as played in several bands before transitioning to bass, and exclusively did so for Hindsight Hero. Nick made this transition in mid- 2023. Nick also has some very notable musical influences such as the rock legends Pantera, John Mayer, Slash, Foo Fighters, and Korn.
The one that packs an absolute punch with every beat of his drum, is none other than Rob Mead. Mead who is originally from Paris, Tennessee, was born in Norwich, New York. Rob is no stranger when it comes to playing in heavy hitting bands. Some of his previous bands include Kings Avail, and was the drummer from 2013- 2023. Rob, was also the singer for Echoes in Silence from 2011-2013. Mead’s musical influences are absolutely some of the best with bands like Red, Matchbox Twenty, Rain City Drive, Dark New Day, and even country star Luke Combs.
The Mad Men/ Engineers behind this single.
The single “More to Life,” was recorded and produced by Dave Cowell, at Supernova Sound in Memphis, Tennessee. Super Nova Sound was created by Matt Montgomery and Dave Cowell, in the year of 2019. With the ambition and tenacity to create a studio that focused primarily on the client, and the actual art of recording/ producing than making money. This studio puts as much thought and care being the projects as you would. David, has been in the recording scene for years. Cowell, is one of the most demanded producers in the Memphis area. He received The Tennessee Music award for Producer/ Engineer of the year in 2019. An accomplished singer and guitarist himself. David, knows the ins and outs of this industry.
Matt Montgomery, has been playing guitars for years, and much too modest to divulge the exact number of years. Most of the gear that is at Supernova, actually comes from Matt’s personal collection. In fact he is the owner of another business called Backline Rentals, where he rents out musical gear.
The master and music giant Colt Capparrune! Colt is the one that mastered “More to Life.” Capparrune of Nashville, Tennessee, is Billboards top 40’s Mix Engineer, Producer, Session Guitarist, Mastering Engineer, and gear junky in Nashville, Tennessee. Capparrune, has multiple Billboard singles and multiple number one’s on iTunes, and many other radio charts. Colt, provides a one stop shop that can provide artists high quality, radio ready singles.
“More to Life” and the breakdown you have been waiting for.
This single “More to Life” is an intense, intricately crafted journey through existential questioning. The absolute raw and all too relatable lyrics is layered with out of this world instrumentation. The track packs an absolute punch, and will leave a lasting impact. Hindsight Hero has made their stance and will not back down when it comes to having a powerful new rock voice. When asked if there is a story behind the song, Front woman Kelly, says “While there is no actual story behind it, the song acts as a positive message.” “A message that any listener can apply to their own story.” This single is intended to be a source of light to it’s listeners, no matter what level of darkness they are currently under. Everyone has experienced existential questioning, and will absolutely think back on that time in their life.
The single comes off the cusp of two other singles that Hindsight Hero has released in the past year. The debut single “Fade Away,” is a single that focuses on introspective thoughts, where distractions can and often times will block the path to greatness. The second hard hitting single released by these hero’s was one called “Years Before.” This song is described as being retrospective, where diving into the past can provide growth and improvement while on your journey to self discovery. With “More to Life” being the lament. It’s an awareness of spiraling negative thought patterns, and guilt surrounding bad decisions that you know shaped your experience. “More to Life,” has an alt-rock feel that any millennial will be singing along to and blaring as if it’s the new rock anthem that we had been waiting for. You can hear every musical influence and every bit of heart and soul that went into intricately crafting this sucker punch of a song. It catches you off guard in a way that you cannot get it out of your head, and will be singing it randomly throughout the day.
The band Hindsight Hero, has become some of the best at pioneering hype videos and creating reels in promotion to a single drop. I know Kelly, has some of the most quirky and hilarious reels on Youtube. I am sure it helps to have the fellow band mates eagerly participate in the promotion of this track. I am confident that the release of this song will garner the attention that is so deserves. This single is sure to make it’s lasting stance in the world of rock.
The New Force Behind the Music Scene
Meet Kalyn "The Rock Queen" Farmer: The New Force Behind the Music Scene
You may not have heard the name Kalyn "The Rock Queen" Farmer—yet. But if you’re tapped into the pulse of social media, rock, and metal music, it's time to pay attention. The Mississippi native has been making waves with her fierce, unapologetic approach to managing social media for bands, and she's just getting started. Known by her fitting moniker, rOcK qUeEn, Kalyn brings a blend of southern grit, artistic vision, and pure rock passion to everything she touches.
From Small-Town Roots to Big-Time Dreams
Kalyn's story starts in Yazoo City, Mississippi, a town with a deep history and a lot of heart. But life wasn’t easy. Following the tragic passing of her stepfather, her mother uprooted the family and moved them to Pelahatchie in search of better opportunities. It was there, at Pisgah High School, that Kalyn graduated in 2009. But she wasn’t just another small-town girl; she was the oldest of six kids, and from a young age, she learned the hard truths about life—survival, sacrifice, and the hustle.
“Music was my lifeline,” she says, crediting her love of rock to her mother, Mrs. Tracy, who was always the first to encourage her children to follow their passions. In a household where the boombox blared, creativity thrived. And that love for music? It's woven into Kalyn’s DNA.
The Rock Queen
A Rockin' Mom with a Mission
Kalyn isn't just a rock queen; she’s a queen to three kids of her own—her son Kael Harris and two daughters, Dixie Magnolia and Motley Wylde. (Yes, you read those names right—her love for rock even inspired her children’s names!) Her role as a mom is paramount, but it doesn’t hold her back—it fuels her. “I’m showing my kids that chasing dreams is not only possible, it’s necessary,” she says. “Nothing is handed to you; you have to earn your place.”
The Dark Side of Art and Music
But what really makes Kalyn unique? It’s her eye for the macabre, the eerie, and the darkly beautiful. “Even in the dark, there is always light,” she says. A self-professed horror movie fanatic, she’s drawn to the old-school classics and campy B-rated films that most people wouldn’t give a second look. That aesthetic carries over into her personal style—Kalyn's home is filled with “creepy” vintage decor she curates from antique shops, blending her love for the dark with a Southern twist.
And that same eclectic energy seeps into her love for rock and metal. Kalyn doesn’t just listen to music—she feels it. Literally. She experiences musical frisson—those spine-tingling moments when music hits you so hard, it’s like electricity surging through your veins. Whether it's a guitar riff or a haunting vocal, she tunes into the smallest details of a track, connecting to it on a cosmic level. “Rock and metal artists usually have a dark story to tell, and that’s what speaks to me,” she explains.
Social Media Queen & Rock's New Best Friend
When it comes to social media, Kalyn is a master. As the social media manager for Massive Media, she’s already proving herself as a major player. She’s not just creating posts; she’s building entire campaigns, promoting bands, and helping them grow their following with razor-sharp precision. “Consistency is key in the social media age,” she insists, guiding artists on how to build their brands and engage with fans in an authentic, meaningful way.
And that’s not all—Kalyn is diving headfirst into booking bands, learning the ropes from none other than her mentor, Dawn McIntyre. For someone who thrives on chaos and creation, it’s no surprise that Kalyn is taking this new challenge head-on. Her ability to connect with bands on a personal and professional level gives her a unique edge.
The Rock Queen Is Here to Stay
Kalyn Farmer is more than just a social media expert or a fan of rock—she's a force of nature. With her deep love for music, her eye for the dark and unusual, and her unrelenting drive, she’s quickly becoming someone you need to know in the industry. She’s the kind of person who turns passion into purpose, and it’s clear she’s only just begun her reign.
The Rock Queen has arrived—and she’s here to stay.

Musically, "Vampire" showcases the band's skillful interplay between instruments. The song opens with a captivating guitar riff by Cole Nations, setting a foreboding tone that is soon joined by Alex Holbrook’s thunderous drumming and sime intricate bass lines. The rhythm guitar adds depth and texture, while powerful vocals bring the lyrics to life with raw emotion and intensity.
The production of "Vampire" highlights the band's ability to balance heavy, aggressive elements with melodic and atmospheric passages. The chorus is particularly memorable, featuring soaring vocal lines and anthemic guitar work that create an infectious energy. The lyrics explore the metaphor of a "vampire" as a symbol of inner demons and destructive desires, making the song both relatable and introspective.
"Vampire" is a testament to Ashes Fall's talent and their commitment to creating music that resonates deeply with their audience. It serves as a perfect introduction to their sound for new listeners and a powerful addition to their catalog for longtime fans.

THEM GUYS
THEM GUYS: A Journey Through Music, Friendship, and Passion
In the heart of South Louisiana, four lifelong friends united by a shared musical vision came together to form THEM GUYS in 2019. What initially started as a tribute band project dedicated to the iconic Chevelle took an unexpected turn when the global pandemic forced a shift in their creative focus. In the face of adversity, THEM GUYS emerged stronger than ever, embracing the opportunity to write and produce their own music.
The Studio Journey: "All A Dream" "Insomnious" and “Delusions”
With the country in lockdown during 2020, THEM GUYS delved into songwriting, and the result was their debut studio album, "All A Dream," brought to life with the expertise of OCD Recording and Productions. The album marked a significant chapter in their musical journey, showcasing their versatility and passion for creating original content.
In 2022, THEM GUYS returned to the studio for their second studio album, "Insomnious," continuing their partnership with OCD. This release solidified their commitment to artistic growth and cemented their presence in the rock music scene.
In their latest sonic odyssey, THEM GUYS, unleash the powerhouse that is "Delusions." This album, bursting at the seams with unadulterated rock'n'roll energy, catapults beyond the boundaries of regional expectations. Picture this: "I'm Home" kicks things off with an explosive homage to Tool's intricate openings, setting the stage for a wild ride. "Only Drug I Need" emerges as a lyrical rollercoaster, ingeniously navigating the realms of irony and musical mastery. Brace yourself for "Push Away," a revelation featuring a riff that pays homage to the glory days of metal music. "Sick Of Misery" introduces a fresh sonic palette, and the eponymous track, "Delusions," serves up a sonic feast of guitar wizardry. No Beuno my friends!
Shifting Focus to Fans
However, for THEM GUYS, it's not just about the music; it's about the fans. Recognizing the vital role their supporters play, the band redirected their energy towards providing an unparalleled live music experience. Their dedication to the audience has become a cornerstone of their identity, making every performance an unforgettable event.
Partnerships and Collaborations
The year 2022 brought significant collaborations into THEM GUYS' world. Joining forces with Pro Audio Video Security added a new dimension to their performances. The genius of Mr. Ross J Johnson, a world-class sound engineer, brought an unparalleled level of production to the band. His 30-40 years of music experience and, most importantly, his friendship made him an invaluable addition to THEM GUYS' production team.
In November 2022, THEM GUYS took another step forward by partnering with Massive Media MS, enhancing their reach and impact in the music industry. In 2023, THEM GUYS took another step dominating the gulf coast by teaming up with Full Circle Entertainment.
