Lock 'n Load is Denis Leary's second album, co-written with Chris Philips and released in 1997. It features material by Adam Roth, Janeane Garofalo and Jeff Garlin, and music by Greg Dulli. It was also an HBO television special directed by Ted Demme. The album features clips of Leary's onstage stand-up monologues mixed with various skits and songs. It is designed to sound as though the listener is listening to the radio, with frequent cuts as though the station is being changed.
Edward Kern Demme was an American director, producer, and actor.
The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio. They were active from 1986 to 2001 and have since reformed as a band. The group – with core members Greg Dulli, Rick McCollum, and John Curley (bass) – rose up around the grunge movement, evolving from a garage band in the vein of the Replacements to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into their sound and image. After releasing their first album independently in 1988, the band signed to the Seattle-based label Sub Pop. They released their major-label debut and fourth album, Gentlemen, in 1993. Pitchfork described them as "one of the few alt-bands to flourish on a major label" in the 1990s.
