Marty McCoy Gets Us Tangled
Inside “Charlatan’s Web”
By Jim Santora
There are bands that go years never catching a break. Then there are bands that by pure luck or an act of god, have
everything handed to them on a silver platter. Then there is Bobaflex, probably one of the hardest working bands in hard
rock today.
Since 2005, Bobaflex has been a no-nonsense 5 piece rock machine from West Virginia that through hard work, extensive
touring and putting out some great music, looks to have things starting to go their way. Their 2011 release of “Hell In My
Heart” in many circles was considered one of the best rock records of the year and featured the tracks “Bury Me With My
Guns On”, “Chemical Valley” and the Simon and Garfunkle classic “The Sounds Of Silence”.
We spoke to guitarist Marty McCoy about their latest release “Charlatan’s Web”. At the time of the interview, the first single
“Bad Man” had been moving up the Rock Charts and was the bands highest charting song to date. However, this doesn’t
mean the band is slowing down for a second.
