Interview with Blake Harrison from PIG DESTROYER (@pigdestroyer); Playing CMJ 10/18
And now for one of the most intense bands I’ve ever encountered. I don’t know where some people get the ideas or ambition to write this stuff, but I’m sure glad bands like Pig Destroyer are out there. Tantamount to sonic genocide, this 4-piece Baltimore/DC based grindcore group is one of the spazziest, heaviest, and down right brutal bands on the extreme metal circuit today. Simply crushing.
Interview with John Wren from BOTTOMFEEDER; Played @ectsunami Fest
As a 4-year old child with a terrible babysitter, nothing traumatized me more than watching an arrowhead pierce and carve out the neck of Kevin Bacon in the first Friday The 13th. I swear I was afraid of the dark until I was 15 or so, but hey… We all have our qualms. Odd as it may seem, I’ll always have a sentimental weakness for hockey mask clad psychos with homicidal tendencies, at least in movies. So, when I saw Bottomfeeder’s demo 7” at East Coast Tsunami, sporting the classic era yet personalized movie cover, I could not resist.
Interview with Wesley Powell from BELIEVERS; New EP out NOW!
Believers are a 5-piece indie band hailing from Columbia, MO, and the first song on their new self-titled EP release features flowing water during the open. This nature theme runs through the remaining 5 songs, and everything about that band seems to be rooted in a very natural, flowing, atmospheric vibe. It’s great to listen to when you’re writing up interview for bands you just heard about. But seriously, it’s also very good, and should have fans of mellow indie-rock tapping their toes.
