B.F. Raid Guitarist and Songwriter Bruce Owens to Appear Live

The Boston Chris Show is set to feature a live interview with Bruce Owens, the guitarist and primary songwriter for Massachusetts-based heavy metal band B.F. Raid. The broadcast is scheduled for Tuesday, June 17 at 8:00 PM Central Time and will stream live on both Twitch and Facebook.

Bruce Owens is known for his raw and aggressive guitar style and for shaping the sound and message of B.F. Raid, a band with deep roots in the underground heavy metal scene. Originally active in the early 1980s, B.F. Raid developed a reputation for high-energy shows and uncompromising songwriting before stepping away from the spotlight. After a long hiatus, the band reemerged in 2024 with the release of their new EP Raided Again, marking a significant return to the scene. The EP features the tracks "Becky," "Hollywood with Snakes," and "Angel," each reflecting the band's updated sound-gritty, loud, and unapologetically true to their roots.

During the live episode, Bruce will sit down with host Boston Chris to talk in detail about the band's reformation, the writing and recording process for Raided Again, and what it's been like reconnecting with old fans while finding new ones. He'll also discuss his songwriting approach, the influences that continue to shape his work, and how the music has evolved while staying grounded in the band's early ethos.

This appearance offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the driving creative forces behind B.F. Raid. Owens will speak not only about the music but also about the challenges of returning to a fast-changing music industry, the legacy of the band's early years, and the practical side of releasing and promoting heavy music in 2025.
