TRC - Go Hard or Go Home - Official Music Video

The new TRC video out today.

UNSTABLE FOUNDATION interview.

1, SO YOUR AN OLD BUT NEW BAND, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE CONNECTION WITH 4 IN THA
CHAMBER .

Well, UF was started in March of 2009 a few weeks after 4ITC broke up. It was started by Dave and me (Frankie - both original 4ITC members). That is pretty much the only connection. Unstable Foundation is a new band with new music.

2, WHO'S IN THE LINE UP NOW, ANY ONE FROM THE ORIGINAL 4ITC?
Frankie – The original 4ITC guitar player. Unfortunately, Dave had to leave last year to pursue becoming a chef. We are still best friends to this day. He misses everyone and makes a mean meatloaf in the process

The non 4ITC members are:

Scott – Vocals (First Band, but tried out for American Idol)
Paul - Drums (ex Sworn Enemy)
Chris – Bass (ex Full Blown Chaos)

3, TAKING IT WAY BACK WHEN DID YOU GUYS START 4ITC?

Now I’m feeling old. We started 4ITC in Feb of 1995 and stayed a band until 2009. It was a fun run, but nothing lasts forever. We have been through 5 singers and 11 guitar players. It was time to kill it.

4, UNSTABLE FOUNDATION WAS THE NAME OF YOUR 1ST MCD, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS
NAME FOR THE NEW BAND?

We were going to name the band something like “Bear vs. Toddler” or “ I Wrestled A Mexican Once” but we figured it was easier to go with “Unstable Foundation”. It required no thought, no energy and it was already there. So, once we started a new one with ex members; it just seemed to fit. And everyone was on board with it.

5, SO YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST CD OUT, ARE YOU PLEASED HOW IT TURNED OUT?
We are really happy with it. We got to work with a great engineer in Rockland County , NY by the name of Max Velez. He’s an awesome dude and an extremely talented guy. It’s been a little slow getting it out into the world, but things take time. Usually, this stuff is not an overnight success. Then again Scott was on American Idol, so that should boost our sales by 2 or 3 records

6, YOU HAVE SOME GREAT GUEST VOCALS ON IT, IS THAT JUST FRIENDS OF THE BAND?

Absolutely, we are all friends. Sal Enemy has been friends with us for a long time. Plus, our drummer Paul used to be in Sworn Enemy. So we asked him to come down and it just fit. The same thing happened with Martin from Billy Club Sandwich. We have all known each other forever. The other guest vocals are Bobby Brazen (ex 4ITC/Slam One Down) and Dante from the band Undivided. That are all really talented guys and we were ecstatic to be able to have their voices on our CD. It was a great time had by all.



7, 4ITC HAD SO MANY DIFFERENT SINGERS, YOU THINK YOU FINALLY FOUND A STEADY
LINE-UP?

Well even though Unstable Foundation is the name of our first 4ITC record, we are by no means going to drag it out like 4ITC. Scott is a great addition to the band and he is not going anywhere. (Unless Simon Cowell calls him) We have fortified a solid line up of people that are in it for the love of playing music. 4ITC was an ego trip and a lot of the newer members didn’t really understand how being in a band worked and had alternate motives. I guess our mistake was taking in new members too quickly and not really taking the time to see if they fit. It will not happen in Unstable Foundation. We are all much older, wiser and clear headed since it takes a lot more beer to get us drunk



8, WHAT EVER HAPPEND TO THE ORIGINAL 4ITC SINGER, DO YOU EVER HEAR FROM HIM?

He became a Unick and started a 2012 religious cult with other Unicks. Last I heard he was currently trying different recipes for cyanide fruit punch for the big event on December 21, 2012.
Oh you wanted the truth?
Actually, no one knows what happened to him he had a falling out with the band in the end, but I think the Unick/2012 story is a lot better because it’s just too funny


HOW DID YOU FIND THE SINGER YOU HAVE NOW?

We had open tryouts. We weren’t looking for a guy that has been around for a long time. We were looking more for someone that was a little younger, that was still hungry and would work well with the rest of the band. He contacted us when he saw our ad, came down and did a good job. We heard he tried out for American Idol and were like “wow!” .. lol The rest is history. Though we torture him like a kid brother, he is a good fit!


10, ARE ANY OF YOU GUYS IN ANY OTHER BANDS?

Not at the moment. All members are just in UF. Want to start a side band?
We all have full time jobs and lots of responsibilities that go with them. So, all our free time goes to UF.


11, HOW DOES THE SCENE DIFFER NOW FROM WHEN YOU GUYS FIRST CAME OUT?
In my honest opinion it’s dying. There are much less places to play these days and the turnouts aren’t like they used to be. We play the music we love, but we wish more people loved it more. Now when a band you don’t know goes on, most people go outside while they play. (Even in the winter) Also, everyone you know is in a band these days. I can go on for days about this, but I’m sure your readers are bored of what I have to say already, why torture them more?

12, YOU THINK ITS BETTER NOW OR BETTER BACK IN THE 90'S?
It was way better in the 90’s.. More people came down and supported bands. Everyone watched you and if you sucked, you knew it!

13, WHATS THE REVIEWS BEEN LIKE FOR THE NEW CD?
Everyone that hears it tells me they love it. (Unless they are lying to me in the same way my mother told me I was handsome). I would love to find more reviews and I would have no problem sending a cd to anyone that wants to review it. Positive or negative! Just hit me up frankie4itc@yahoo.com

14, YOUR CD CAME OUT ON ON THE ATTACK RECORDS HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT?
Sammy from On the Attack is old friends with Dave and I, liked the new band and then offered to put our CD out. We released it in June of 2009 and It’s called “Strength Through Determination”. Pick it up, you won’t be sorry!

15, WHATS UNSTABLE FOUNDATIONS PLANS FOR THE REST OF 2011?
Play as many shows as possible. Get the music out there to everyone and hopefully just have a lot of fun. I have been playing in bands since I am 14 (20 years, yeah I’m old) and I honestly don’t know what to do if I wasn’t playing. So, until my legs are falling off and I have to be carried off the stage I will keep playing. Same goes for Chris and Paul. We are still trying to figure out Scott’s story. Did you know he tried out for American Idol?


16, HOW CAN PEOPLE HEAR YOU, WHERE CAN THEY GET YOUR CD FROM & WHATS YOUR

Check out the new vid from POUND FOR POUND.

GOLDEN BULLET interview.

I was really impressed when I first heard Golden Bullet, so I wanted to find out more about the band so I wrote singer tonny for an interview, here's what he had to say.

1, WHO'S IN THE BAND & WHAT DO THEY PLAY?
Golden bullet is Jeffrey (bass) , Jan (drums) , Ivo (guitar) , Lowie (guitar) and I’m Tonny (vocals).

2, WHEN DID YOU FORM & HOW DID YOU ALL MEET?
The first rehearsals must haven been somewhere early 2005. It was Jan (drums), Tom(guitar) and I. We already knew each other because we live in the same village.

Ivo (guitar) joined us a bit later. Nobody of us who met Ivo earlier, we found Ivo through a friend of him. Tom left very soon when Ivo joined us because of lack of time.

We found Lowie (guitar) as Tom’s replacement. We found him through some friends who knew Lowie was looking for a new band. Lowie knew a bass player and brought Jeffrey into our band. It must have been already summer 2005 until we had a real and the current (!) line up.

Not everyone knew all the others from in the beginning. Our passion for music brought us together and we became really good friends. And it is fantastic that it went that way, otherwise the band should not be still around !

3, HOW DID YOU GUYS DECIDE TO PLAY THE STYLE YOU DO THE H8000 STYLE?


Everybody in the band has his own vision on music and wanted to play something else. We decided just to start with writing songs, and that it was (and it still is) important that everyone within the band has his influence in our songs. We never wanted to play a certain style. We never putted the h8000 stamp on our style, it was something we got when we started to play shows. And we are more than happy with it, the older h8000 bands were and still are something special.

4, FOR KIDS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT H8000 IS, COULD YOU EXPLAIN.

H8000 stands for the hardcore scene in “west-flanders”, they took the number 8000 because the zip code of every village/city in “west-flanders” begins with an 8 followed through three other numbers. Later they putted the H (that stands for hate) before it because of all the negative shit that entered the scene. The so called h8000 sound is an sound that was very typical for bands out of our area. Think bands in the vein of edge metal bands like Liar and Congress - two bands that everybody knows / heard off. For so far the lesson history like they told me, because we talking about the early 90’s now. I did my first show in 1998. I was 16 years old then, so I can only tell you my experiences from ‘98 until now.


For me is h8000 (and hardcore in general) more than a music style or an area in Belgium. It is a feeling and feelings are hard to describe. When I entered the scene, I saw a world who was new for me. Kids who were busy with organizing benefit shows, gave each other flyers to inform you about cases where they really cared about. Kids helping each other to get a ride to shows… There was a certain unity and respect. However there was also a lot of bullshit and maybe I just make my memories more beautifull than they are without realizing it because I was to young or whatever.
I know that humans have that bad habit to look too much back (or forward) instead of enjoying the here and now... But I want to be honest, I miss that positive atmosphere a bit, it just feels different now. And it is to easy to point to other and younger kids. I guess the older kids were not able to keep things / values alive? The only thing we can do is trying to give an example and looking in the mirror instead of pointing and nagging. After all, this counterculture and what it means to somebody is still something personal.

5, YOUR CD CAME OUT ON CFC RECORDS, HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT, DID THEY CONTACT
YOU TO SIGN TO THEM?

Diana a friend of us from holland, gave the people from cfc a promo. She said to us that they liked it, so I contacted cfc. I started to chat with Rick Verbeeck from cfc and Rick had a bit the same vision on hardcore, the scene, life, … like we had. We signed very quickly their label. Maybe a bit strange that we’re on a label from Holland , but we are very happy with it. Rick is a fantastic dude who does a lot for his bands.

6, ARE YOU HAPPY HOW THE CD TURNED OUT?
Yes we are. It is not perfect, and like the most thing in this world, there are things that can be improved. But we’re happy with the result. I also want to thank Andy Vuylsteke for doing a fantastic art job (http://xjuggernautx.deviantart.com/gallery/) ! We got exactly what we wanted ! And he had to work really fast. Jan our drummer, recorded everything, spent days and days to mix the whole shit and in the end everything was mastered at the famous CCR studio. Chris did the mastering two times!! The first time he was only 99 percent satisfied, so he did it again. He is a great dude to work with and very experienced in his studio work.

7,HAVE YOU RELEASED ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE YOU DID YOUR CD?

We did a split demo with our friends from saviour in 2008. In 2009 we released a promo. And in September 2010 we released this full length album.

8, WHATS THE SCENE LIKE IN BEL RIGHT NOW, ARE THERE ANY NEW BANDS WE SHOULD LOOK
OUT FOR?

There is a lot of activity. Lots of (new) bands and gigs. Some kids started to doing paper zines again. Something that wasn’t that common anymore. Let’s hope that this is the beginning of a new wind through our scene. Hardcore must be more than music !

About the bands where you should look out for. Check headshot with their new second vocalist Aarjen. I heard a very promising demo tape from a new band “last stand” . Cold fusion also a new band that will hit the Belgian stages very soon. Watch out for them! Last weekend we played together with fields of troy (with dompi from spirit of youth / blood redemption) and I’ve been blown away !!! I am sure that I forgot a lot of bands, but I can go on and on !

9, WHAT INFLUENCES YOU TO WRITE YOUR MUSIC & LYRICS?

My personal life, my vision upon the world around me and the injustice within it, sometimes even about my vision upon the hardcore scene. About my feelings, about guilt, betrayal, burdens, about those things that are so hard to express …
I’ve got a little story about this that I want to tell! Willem from flanders fury (http://flandersfury.blogspot.com/) did an in depth review about our record and the lyrics. He used a lot the word “reflection” in his review (about the lyrics), and I realized that this is something very important in my life / lyrics. To be honest, he gave me a bit more insight in my lyrics, I was impressed ! If you are into h8000 stuff check his blog ! (http://flandersfury.blogspot.com/)

10, WHAT BANDS HAVE BEEN A BIG INFLUENCE ON GOLDEN BULLET?

A lot of bands, but it is always so difficult to write names down. We are 5 different people all five influenced by different bands. Let me say, length of time, merauder, slayer, all out war, …

11, WHERE DID THE NAME GOLDEN BULLET COME FROM?

I tried to define the meaning of “golden bullet” in the song gold.betray.bullets..
It is about persons who reach you the hand and offer you solutions; the “so called-gold” . What if those same persons in the end the betray you? You get the gold… a golden bullet in your back.

12, I THINK ITS VERY COOL YOUR KEEPING THE H8000 SOUND ALIVE, DO YOU THINK YOUR
GONNA INFLUENCE MORE BANDS IN YOUR AREA TO DO THIS?

I really hope we do. It should be really cool that ten years from here we look back and can say that we were a band who influenced other bands to bring back the h8000 sound .

To be honest it is crazy that we already got a lot of very good reactions from outside Belgium. Kids who are saying how cool it is that there are still bands with an h8000 sound. Kids who liked the dark concept around the full album.

While within our own country some kids are always talking about the old h8000 bands and they forget about nowadays bands who bring (back) that kind of music. A bit pity, if you ask me… I hope the ban is broken with the full album. I see more and more younger kids at our shows, maybe they needed some time to get familiar with our sound? Or maybe they just didn’t know us yet. Lately we play more and more shows, we get more chances to spread our music. For the moment there is even next to the Belgians show a show in france and one in Holland confirmed.


13, WHAT ARE GOLDEN BULLETS PLANS FOR THE REST OF 2011?

Playing a lot shows ! We really enjoy the live vibe! And we already started writing new material. If it should be possible… doing a tour! A friend of the band is looking for that, but nothing is confirmed. So if there are people who are interested don’t hestitate to mail us !!! (Everyone in the band kept next dates free thursday 21 july, friday 22 july, saturday 23 july and sunday 24 juli.)


14, DO ANY OF YOU GUYS PLAY IN OTHER BANDS?

Nobody does, I think we are all to busy with different things outside the band. And we all want to focus on golden bullet. It is a fantastic thing if you can do rehearsals and playing shows and everything in and around the whole band with guys who are really good friends and are giving the best of them ! This is a fantastic reward for al the time and energy we put into it.



15, WHERE CAN PEOPLE HEAR YOU??, WHATS YOUR MYSPACE LINK?

Check www.myspace.com/goldenbullet . People who are interested in our full album, or have a question or so ; mail to goldenbulleth8000@hotmail.com or contact our label (www.myspace.com/crossfirecult). The album is also available through goodlife recordings and reality records !

ANY LAST WORDS OR SHOUT OUTS?

I want to thank you for doing this and the very kind words you said about our album in your review. I want to excuse me for the long answers (and that my English ain’t perferct) To everyone who wants to know something about us or our music, don’t hesitate to contact us ! People who can help us out, with a show in or outside Belgium or a tour, we always appreciate such things! To everyone who helped us out with something, thank you so much ! Take care.

ONE STEP BEYOND interview.

Here's an interview I did with Wulf one of the singers from one step beyond.

1, CAN YOU GIVE A BAND HISTORY, WHEN YOU FORMED, WHO'S IN THE BAND, WHERE YOUR
FROM ETC.

In short it’s like this

Formed in 2006

Members
Wulf (Vocals)
Buske (Vocals)
Carlos (Guitar)
Smidtn (Drums)
Bass (????)

Ex-members
Jeroen (Guitar)
Stimp (Bass)


In detail:

It all started in 2006. Me (Wulf) and Jeroen (ex-member now) shared the idea of starting a band that was different from what our area was known for at the moment. The Ypres area was mainly beatdown/deathcore orientated. We quickly found Smidtn to fill in on drums.
After a while and quite some drinks I asked Carlos to join us on bass. He came for a try-out and told us he would be more interested in a spot on guitar but he knew someone for bass. That’s where Stimp came in and both were enthousiastic to start up this project.

To throw in a bit more variation we asked Buske to come and try as a second vocalist. Since we both have totally different voices this mixes up well.

We played our first show in 2007 and have been playing lots of shows since then without any real break to write or record. We like to keep ourselves busy.


At the moment Jeroen and Stimp are no longer with us due to personal reasons. Which means we are looking for a new bassplayer and a second guitarplayer. We have Nicho from Pushed Too Far currently helping us out on bass for the planned shows.
And we’re still good friends with Jeroen and Stimp.

2, YOU REMIND ME OF A HARDER SOUNDING WISDOM IN CHAINS, WHO ELSE WOULD YOU SAY
IS A BIG INFLUENCE ON YOU?

Thanks for the compliment as we all like Wisdom In Chains a lot.
We have quite some influences and that’s for a big part our strength in my opinion.
Everyone has their main influence. For me that’s Oi! and streetpunk. Carlos mainly streetpunk, rock ‘n roll
Smidtn was mainly into deathmetal and such at the start. Buske is more into NYHC. Stimp is a ska/reggae man.
But in the end we all love hard music.

To name a few bands that influence us as everyone likes such a list. We have Blood For Blood, Sheer Terror, No Redeeming Social Value, Slumlords, Madball, Death Threat, Breakdown on the hardcore front. But bands like Cock Sparrer, Cockney Rejects, Argy Bargy, The Business, 4Skins, Bulldog Courage,... influence us aswell.

It's up to the listeners how they want to describe us. To us it's just hardcore.

　
3, ONE STEP BEYOND IS REALLY GOOD DRINKING/PARTY MUSIC IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED
WHEN YOU STARTED OUT?

Not really. Things just turned into that direction.
When I started writing our first lyrics I automaticly started writing about things from my everyday life.
I could write about how I am the toughest kid in the neighbourhoud but I'm not so why should I do that and take away the honesty that hardcore/punk music has to offer?

Except Smidtn who's still a student we all have an honest hardworking fulltime job. In the weekend we like to sort of escape from the everyday job, sleep, bills, etc.. by having a good time and enjoy ourselves. And we want to crowd to do the same. What's the point in going to a show after a hard workweek and just stand there? Have fun, make it a good weekend before you get back to work on monday. Doesn't matter if you're drinking or not. We drink but if you're straight edge you're just as welcome, change the booze in our lyrics to coke, ice tea or whatever you like and the meaning would still be the same.

So basicly our lyrics are about our everyday lives with a wink here and there.
But if you for example check the lyrics from a song like CCTV you'll also see that we take on more serious and social topics.

　
4, YOUR ABOUT TO RELEASE YOUR FIRST CD, YOU PUTTING IT OUT YOURSELVES RIGHT? CAN
YOU TALK ABOUT THAT.

There's still a bit of a grey zone there. This was the idea from the start but we've been approached recently by a label that looks honest so there's a chance we might put it out with them.





5, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO DO IT YOURSELVES & NOT ON A LABLE?

As a small band you often have to bend over and take it up the ass only to get a bad deal. You pay for everything and they get the benefits. So it looks better to do things on your own.
But as said we've been approached by a label recently and they look honest to us. They've already done quite some releases and really supported the bands on their roster by doing lots of promo, helping them on shows, merch,...
Since promo takes a lot of time and work it could come in handy to have someone take care of that for us. Also they're not locally based which means a new audience may get to know us.

There's more news to come soon on that.
　
6, SCOTT MOVE IS DOING THE ARTWORK RIGHT?, WHATS GOING TO BE ON THE COVER?
　
Scott has indeed taken care of the artwork. If you're familiar with his artwork then you know a bit what to expect, we allowed him to be creative in his style with our idea in the back of his head.

In general it's an image of a city/world that's a bit in crumbles or just a bad neighbourhood if you want. Where society is failing and rats have free roaming, empty bottles are the sign or holy grail for people trying to escape this.

7, DO YOU HAVE A RELEASE DATE FOR IT YET?

Not yet. We're aiming for a march release (Break Bones Fest) but don't want to rush things just to release it.
We want things to be good so we can look back and say "yes we're proud of it". Offcourse we don't want it to take too long either.

8, ONE STEP BEYOND IS FROM THE MADNESS SONG, WHY DID YOU DECIDE ON THAT NAME?

We had to come up with something right?
During one of our early rehearsals we we're looking for a name. We came up with all different kinds of stuff and we're voting in rounds untill we would have one left everyone liked.

One Step Beyond was not on the list. But as it got a bit boring we decided to open the garage we we're rehearsing in at that time and play some music from the car. First thing we heard was the intro to that Madness song and we all though One Step Beyond had a good ring to it. The list got thrown away and since then we're One Step Beyond.

9, HOW IS THE SCENE WHERE YOUR FROM RIGHT NOW, ANY NEW BANDS WE SHOULD BE
LOOKING OUT FOR?

The Ypres area itself is quite dead. Lots of people from our area wouldn't like to hear that though. Lots of show at the Vortn Vis but except the barkeeper and some locals who go just because there is a show and to have a drink you won't see anyone else from Ypres itself.

If we get outside Ypres (which is a small area anyway) there's a really living scene. Lots of show get put on, kids go to the shows, many kids start bands,...
Belgium in general has a good hardcore scene with many different subgenres. Offcourse each subgenres has it's own crowd but guess that's the case for any country.

Bands to keep an eye on are Pushed Too Far, Enough Said, Headshot, Golden Bullet, Saviour, Angelskin, One More Sword, Crossed The Line, Fatal Recoil, The Boss,... and still lots of band missing. Honestly I don't like every band there is but that's the beauty of it, there are many different styles and every band seems to be doing what they like and that's something I can only respect.

10, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE REST OF 2011?

First bring out the MCD. Find a new bassplayer and maybe a second guitarplayer. Continue to play shows and build up a name/reputation so people can't ignore us.

11, WHATS YOUR MYSPACE/FACEBOOK LINKS SO PEOPLE CAN HEAR YOU?
　
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/onestepbeyondhc
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/One-Step-Beyond

The myspace only has some crappy demo and live recordings on it though. Will change once we receive the final master of the upcoming MCD.

12, ANY LAST WORDS & SHOUT OUTS.

Thanks alot for this interview. Means a lot to us.
Also thanks to everyone taking the time to read this and check us out.

Be sure to check out our MCD entitled "Our Way" when it's out and if your want the full OSB experience then come and see us live.

Cheers,
Wulf

TWITCHING TONGUES interview.

Interview with Colin Young singer with Twitching Tongues.


1, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS FROM, WHO'S IN THE BAND, HOW DID YOU FORM & WHEN?
My brother and I are from Los Angeles, and Keith and Mike live in Orange County.
In late 2009 Taylor and I wrote the demo, in February of 2010 we finished it, then released it in March. Keith filled in for Ruckus at the time, and we all loved him, so we asked him to play bass. We had a hard time finding a drummer for a bit, and then we found out that Mike already knew all the songs, so we practiced with him and knew he fit right in.
Around here, I've seen tons of hardcore/punk bands come together just because certain people played instruments, not even really knowing one another. They're bandmates before friends and I never liked that. It's definitely the opposite with Twitching Tongues, it's my brother and now some of my best friends. Couldn't ask for a cooler lineup of people.

2, WHERE DID THE NAME COME FROM?
My favorite Only Living Witness song, "Twitching Tongues". I implore everybody to check it out!

3, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND & WHO WOULD YOU SAY ARE YOUR INFLUENCES?
Rock/Metal influenced hardcore, although some might argue we aren't a hardcore band at all because of the clean vocals.
The first demo we did was 5 songs, drawing from Type O Negative, Only Living Witness, Life of Agony, Pantera, even some R&B aspects for silly vocal pointers. 3 of them being our demo, one of them will be on the 7", and the other the first song on our LP. Funny that the first song we wrote won't end up being heard until our LP.

4, YOU PLAY DRUMS IN RUCKUS, DO ANY OTHER THE OTHER GUYS IN T.T PLAY IN OTHER
BANDS?
Taylor, Keith and I all play in Ruckus, Keith and sometimes Mike play in Creatures, I play drums in Alpha & Omega, and Taylor plays drums in Nails.

5, WHAT HAVE YOU RELEASED SO FAR?
Just the 3 song demo! The title track of our upcoming 7" can be heard on our myspace page though!

6, I HEARD YOU PLANNING ON A 7INCH, TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
We should have them by the time we hit Europe in March! Our friend Nick Heitman at Photobooth records is putting it out.
3 songs, 2 new, and a cover of Pentagram's "Forever My Queen", we also have an LP completely written and it's about 90% done recording-wise. Can't wait to have them both out.

7, YOU'RE PLAYING SOME SHOWS IN EUROPE SOON, ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, YOU
EVER BEEN TO EUROPE BEFORE?
Can't wait! I just did Europe with Alpha & Omega, Trapped Under Ice and Bane, and it was a total blast, although for some reason my body clock and Europe did not mix well, I was tired 24 hours a day. It was bullshit! Very much looking forward to going back with Twitching Tongues and Ruckus though, even though the tour is shorter than my previous one.

8, HOW DO YOU THINK KIDS WILL REACT TO YOU IN EUROPE AT SHOWS?
I really don't have a clue yet, I have a feeling we won't be getting crazy reactions, but hopefully they'll watch and enjoy what they hear so the next we come can be even cooler!

9, DO YOU PLAY MORE HARDCORE SHOWS OR METAL SHOWS, WHAT REACTION DO YOU GET FROM
WHEN YOU GUYS PLAY?
We've only played hardcore shows to date. I have a feeling that's the way it'll be for quite a while too, and I have absolutely no problem with that. The kids that have heard us before will sing along and occasionally punch somebody, and the kids who haven't heard us will either love it or hate it, but I always love it when people talk to me after the set and tell me it was their first time hearing us and that they enjoyed it. Coolest feeling in the world.

10, WHAT KINDA THINGS DO YOU WRITE SONGS ABOUT?
Call it corny, but I've written A LOT about love/girls and that bullshit. Never had the best experiences with any of that. My fault for the most part... I've written about family members, weird metaphoric shit about dreaming, and religion. Hopefully everybody can decipher which is which when the 7" and LP come out :)

11, WHATS BETTER DRUMMING OR SINGING??
Singing, hands down. Something about playing drums on tour just doesn't feel right to me. Singing is also just much more fun in my opinion, jumping around and pointing my finger like an asshole just feels so right...
