On Friday night time’s Loudwire Nights, the solid of AXS TV’s Power Hour joined Chuck Armstrong to dive into their present, their hopes for its future and what some of their favourite songs of 2023 are.
“We’re not here to shoot down or call people out on bad things, you know,” Matt Pinfield mentioned in regards to the objective of Power Hour. “There’s enough of that. There’s enough negativity. We want to keep things positive and have a great time while doing it.”
Power Hour simply wrapped its second season on AXS TV and the crew is worked up for its future.
“I just hope everybody watching is always having a good time,” Caity Babs mentioned. “We’re having a good time and I mean, I don’t try to think about the future too much. I’m here and now and I just try to do the best I can.”
Josh Bernstein equated Power Hour to a celebration and that is the vibe they’ve tried to convey to the tv display through the present’s first two seasons — and it is the vibe they will proceed bringing so long as individuals are watching.
“I always look at rock and roll as a cool party and I’m one of the people invited and I want to invite others to the party. That’s what we’re trying to do each week.”
The Power Hour Hosts Pick Their Favorite Songs of 2023
Josh Bernstein: “I think for me it’s either ‘Lux Æterna’ — it’s been such a Metallica year — or…’Another Celebration at the End of the World’ by [Mammoth WVH].”
Matt Pinfield: “It was such an incredible year. When Dave [Grohl] [wished me a happy] birthday at Sonic Temple and dedicated ‘My Hero’ to me, he surprised me. We were just so blown away by that whole thing and at the same time, [Foo Fighters’] ‘Rescued’ came out and became one of the biggest songs of the year. ‘Rescued’ is definitely one of my songs of the year. I agree with Josh also on ‘Lux Æterna,’ because I love that track. It’s been a pretty great year for rock and roll.”
Caity Babs: “I have a couple. One would probably be Falling In Reverse’s ‘Watch the World Burn’ because that song is just massively huge and it’s helping these younger artists [who are] looking up to Falling In Reverse. Another one is Ice Nine Kills’ ‘Meat & Greet.’ I like the heavy stuff and that sounds really heavy and the music video is just incredible. And then Spiritbox’s ‘Cellar Door.'”
As Chuck heard their picks, he needed to sneak his personal alternative into the dialog — and it simply so occurred that his favourite tune of 2023 was frequently on Power Hour‘s music video countdown: Tim Montana’s “Devil You Know.”

“Oh yeah, I’ll be honest, let me tell you, I want to tell you the truth,” Pinfield mentioned. “That’s my favorite song right now. That song is my favorite song right now. I love that song. He’s such an interesting guy … Huge Tim Montana fans here at the show.”
