Joe Driscoll Interview
10,000 hours of diligent work. That is the number recently theorized as necessary to consider oneself a master of his/her craft. How many of you can say that you have spent a total of at least 416.7 cumulative days practicing your instrument? What we are basically discussing here is a dedication that supercedes most people’s interest in their working career, but that is exactly what you need to consider your art form if you wish to succeed in the music industry… A full-time job, with mandatory overtime.

Henry Rollins Interview
Singer, writer, publisher, actor, journalist, activist, disc jockey… That’s 7, but I’m sure there are many other titles one can bestow upon Henry Rollins. You would be hard pressed to find a performer who has created and disseminated as much profound output as the former Black Flag singer, and it doesn’t look like he will be slowing down anytime soon. Mighty good work for a punker from D.C.
A Life Once Lost Interview with Bob Meadows
Philadelphia’s A Life Once Lost are frickin’ heavy… Think Meshuggah with a slightly more Hardcore tinge. Since 1999, the quartet has been bulldozing their crowds with a sick blend of punctuated rhythm, technical riffage, and tortured vocals. It’s really fun to watch in concert.
Municipal Waste Interview with Tony Foresta
I frickin’ love Municipal Waste! This is the second time I’ve interviewed these guys in about 3 months, and they haven’t left the road yet. Upon finishing up an opening slot for Gwar and taking a very brief time apart (so members could go on other tours with other bands), the group promptly found themselves right back on the road to continue touring in support of their latest release, “The Fatal Feast.”
Reel Big Fish Interview with Johnny Christmas and Derek Gibbs
The 3rd Wave of Ska Music came and went in a mighty rush. Due in large part to MTV and the formation of Warped Tour in 1995, Ska was thrust into a spotlight it had never before seen, and hasn’t seen since. It always intrigues me when I hear people say that they “used to like Ska” music. What was it that turned you off from it, and why can’t you appreciate it anymore? Growing up shouldn’t mean leaving old friends behind.
