This Ohio one man show, Paul Linville, specializes in metal and industrial but has been known to throw left field curves with country, bluegrass, and even pop touches – though the latter is no surprise as his songs are always catchy. In 2011, he contributed a pair of tracks to our compilation album Neighborhood Classics before moving on to other projects. In more recent times, he has continued work under the All Pain No Gain moniker, such as the excellent single below, “Don’t Be So Hard On Me.”
He’s also a member of the group Rosenedge, who have steadily rocked the Midwest and beyond for years. Prior to that, he had performed with outfits such as Bedlam, and also received some acclaim for the project Black Element (a CD that was programmed, a la Prince, so that the tracks were unskippable – you had to listen straight through, just the way nature intended!). And to this day, continues cranking out the jams from his home studio, and performing live in a multitude of capacities.
