Free Show In Van Nuy$

Written Off Interview 2014

Finally uploaded an interview. ive been extremly lazy with this blog and kinda not into it as much as i was when i started it. ill evuntually upload interviews with Terror, Lion Crew, Bent Life, Civilized, Cold Cave, Magnum Force and Pure X. mind you these are interviews were from last year or the year before that so a bunch of shit has happened but whatever. thanks if you still look at this thing from time to time. <3

Okay chris what do you do and who is currently in WxO?

I do vocals. Daniel Johnson and Scott Holston play guitar, Megan Morgan on bass, and Cameron Cousins on drums

How did WO start?

We started about two and a half years ago. We actually played our first show a couple of weeks after our hometown dudes Another Mistake did.

What bands influenced WO?

I think when we first started we were trying to capture that kind of early Lockin Out sound, but since then I think we've really tried to branch out a bit. We all still love those bands, but the way you write music just changed over time I guess.

How did iron mind crew approach you guys for the demo and 7"

Well that label actually is run by our guitarist Dan, haha. So basically he said "Hey, I'm gonna start a record label and put out our first 7 inch" and I said "Damn fucking right you are!"

Do you like how the all the release and the split with out crowd came out?

I think we were all really happy with how the first 7 inch came out for sure. We honestly weren't too crazy about how our recordings came out for the split, but it's alright. We actually re-recorded one of the split songs for our new 7 inch. Not to mention how good the Out Crowd side to that split is...man. I am honestly so stoked to even be a part of that shit. Those songs just blow our side out of the water haha.

Iron mind crew is awesome, is WO still going to release from imc?

It's hard to say but it's possible. We're pretty busy people so it's not often we get to write music so it may be a little bit before our next release. I mean Dan (our guitarist) runs it, so it's a nice fallback for when no one likes our shit haha

Tell us about the new 7" coming out on six feet under

Well it's 5 new songs, and one older song from the Out Crowd split that we re-recorded. I'm excited for people to hear it. I think it's definitely the best stuff that we've written so far. I think we have finally "found our sound" or whatever cheesy thing I can say like that.

When can cali expect written off?

Hopefully soon! We would fucking love to come out there for sure. Like I said, we are all pretty busy with work/school and whatnot so it's difficult to arrange time for all of us to get off for things like that. I'm trying to get out there and play on the beach or some shit.

How do you feel about sexism and homophobia in the hardcore scene?

Well we had a gay drummer, but he quit. Our bassist is a girl. They are the most sexist and homophobic people I've ever met.'
