Hailing from Charlotte, Unleashed delivers an electrifying live experience that captures the raw power, soaring vocals, and iconic twin-guitar attack that defined Judas Priest’s late ‘70s and early ‘80s era — from Sad Wings of Destiny to Screaming for Vengeance and British Steel.
In this episode of the Beyond the Stage series, hosts Mr. & Mrs. Wild sit down with band members including Jace Weddington (vocals), Gil Bush and Robbie Norris (guitars), and Owen Teague (bass) — with Joe Costa (drums) holding down the rhythm section, even if he’s missing from the conversation — to explore the band’s journey, musical influences, and the challenges of performing some of heavy metal’s most technically demanding songs.
They also discuss the passion behind tribute performance, the dynamics of playing as a band, favorite tracks, and what fans can expect from their upcoming shows across the East Coast. With razor-sharp musicianship and a high-energy stage presence, Unleashed keeps the spirit of classic metal alive for a new generation of fans.
Hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Wild — owners of The Lion & The Rose Bed & Breakfast and cohosts of Big Blend Radio’s Adventures in Asheville Podcast — this episode celebrates the enduring power of live music and tribute artistry.
