interview with Jesse. great socal band! mos def should be in your itunes/cdr/mix tape etc.
whats up with you guys?
currently stresscase has been trying to play as much as we can in as little amount of time as possible. Our guitar player Danny just left last night to finish his flight training for school, Its gnarly that he is flying planes and what not, so for the time being, we will be making as much merch as we can in the next few weeks till he gets back.
how did you guys get together?
The band started out with cameron (drummer) and danny jamming together, they were in another band called Backwash, Cameron had known Sarah for a bit and they approached her to join. Me, i was the last person to join the band actually. It was the last few weeks of life for that MySpace website, you may have heard of it (lol) but i found their page and messaged them if they needed a bass player and that id like to be involved, My last band had just separated and the timing was perfect, We jammed and that was that. They asked me to join. This was last febuary and our first show was in april i believe.
any new releases in the works?
Currently we have been sitting on a batch of songs that have yet to be released. we are planning on doing a split, then continue working on a full length.
what bands influenced you guys musically?
I cant speak for the entire band but our influences range from bands like despise you to Judge, and from bands like punch and john cota. any LA shows coming up?
Nothing is planned for the near future.
any bands you support?
We support all our friends bands as well as the bands we have been lucky enough to share shows with.
Our brother bands that are ridiculously talented are La Bella from west covina, and They as In Them from el monte CA. every one of those members in those bands are the greatest dudes.
Also Bands like ACXDC have been a great help to us with hooking us up with shows and helping us play in areas like Santa cruz. Kali sound is also something that people should keep an eye out for, The dudes in Calculator and 10k leagues are great individuals. Other local bands worth checking out from southern CA i would suggest are OUTLIERS, Ruptures, silver snakes, summer Vacation, Sleepwalkers nomads, False Prophet, and headwind.
last words?
yes, recently we had some gear stolen so if you are reading this come to a show and help us out by buying merch or just saying hi. Anything helps and an online store is in the works. so stay posted. Thanks ! :)
every scene has its assholes, Us as a band, we try not to be assholes, the only con of the scene i see and i dont speak for the band, are the pretentiousness of some kids, Its all about having fun so dont knock any one for having different ideas of what could be fun for that person.
But the pros I feel are the bonds that everyone has. be it between bands or the crowd, everyones connected on a level that is not really something that outsiders looking in can understad.
on multiple occasions, The community as a whole has helped out one of our dear friends in helping his family out with medical bills, that willingness to come out and support is something that is worth staying around for, at least for me it is
