Interview with Ricky from BACKTRACK @backtracknyhc @reaperrecords
Long Island, NY’s Backtrack (Reaper Records) has been blazing up the hardcore ranks in recent months. With their near constant touring schedule, youthful energy, and riot-inducing performances, Backtrack’s name is spreading like wildfire across the hardcore community.
And why not? Already given the nod by some of the elite in the game right now (Terror, anyone?), the quintet seems to have more problems sitting still than a young child on Christmas morning. These guys are ALWAYS on tour, and that is exactly the attitude you need to have to build a name for yourself, especially in the underground hardcore music scene.
Drummer Spotlight with Nick Jett from TERROR @terrorhardcore @victoryrecords @nickgodie
What do you call a drummer that breaks up with his girlfriend?
Homeless.
Drummers always get a bum rap. Why is that? Ever seen a good band with a shitty drummer? No. Know why? BECAUSE THEY DON’T FUCKING EXIST (with exception for The Beatles.)
Drummers rule! We hit stuff, get peoples’ butts shaking, and ultimately determine whether or not the band is going to perform well. You CANNOT have a solid band without a solid drummer, so all you 6-string wankers out there with your tapping and flooded solos can suck it… This one is for the hitters.
On February 27th, I sat down with Nick Jett from TERROR during their stop in Albany, NY at Bogies to talk about drum stuff (duh.) Check him and Terror out… These guys are no joke!
Interview with Martin Stewart from TERROR; Playing Buffalo 2/26 and Albany 2/27 with H20! @terrorhardcore @backtracknyhc @victoryrecords
Los Angeles, California’s Terror are what hardcore is all about. If you follow the style at all, you know EXACTLY who this group is. If you claim to dig hardcore music and don’t know who they are, you’re living in a cave (and should probably stay there.)
