How's the spine tour coming along?
the Spine tour actually just ended last night...it was fucking great! it was our 1st real tour besides just a weekend so we weren't sure what to expect but it turned out awesome. some of the "bigger" shows were D.C. and Boston, lots of people were there and we got a great response, i couldn't believe it. for Spine to be able to visit those cities for the first time ever and be received so well is almost unheard of when a band is first starting out, we felt lucky as shit to be able to experience such a thing.
Are you guys happy on how the to the spine 7" came out?
Definitely, it came out great. the layout looks good, the covers were printed well, the record sounds really good too, our friend Mike/Mark recorded it. I put it out on my new label Bad Teeth Recordings so I'm still getting used to distribution and webstores and all that nonsense.
Is bad teeth releasing anything else?
I hope to!!! right now money is tight, i am still trying to break even with the Spine record and that takes a verrrry long time when a band is new and not hyped or anything. but things will be okay, i plan on doing my label for the rest of my life if i can! i'll never make any money doing it, at least i don't think, but whenever the funds present themselves, i'll put out more records for sure!
Why did you decide to release the spine 7" on bad teeth instead of tooth decay?
well, Tooth Decay was a label i did with my friend Nick and we decided years ago not to use that name any more. he has his own label now Cowabunga Records and now i have my own again...working together was cool but i am glad to do my own thing. i like knowing that the label is 100% mine and no one else's, it's just the way i am.
Lets get to the nitty gritty, the new weekend nachos single "watch you suffer" when can we expect a song to drop?
it's undecided, because we have the 2 songs recorded for the single but we do not know when we should let everybody hear it, haha. we are thinking Dec. 1st is when everybody will get to hear the new jam. it's going to appear on our full-length in 2013 so we're really hoping that this 7" single on A389 will hype that up a little bit and give people a small taste of what's to come. i'm ridiculously fucking excited about this new LP, it's our best work for sure.
When will you guys be writing the new lp?
we are in the process of writing it now...we got about 4 songs that we're pretty happy with, it just takes time. i can't give a definite answer as to when we'll be finished and ready to record, but that's a good thing, it means we're really working hard and not rushing anything. the WN supporters will have to just wait and see.
Are you excited to be playing with INFEST at maryland death fest?
to be honest, i'm more excited to play with CARCASS, does that make me a true hardcore poseur? obviously if it does, i don't care. Carcass is one of my favorite bands of all time, i really am just looking forward to seeing them without clearing my entire bank account to make it happen. i am very lucky to be able to travel with my band to go to this show and see a bunch of bands that i like.
Rumors about playing with INFEST down here in LA in the spring, confirm/deny?
how the fuck did you hear about that? my answer to this question is that Rocky V is very underrated and should be appreciated more as a legitimate part of the series. i think a lot of people feel that the 5th one isn't good and they're incorrect about that.
Last words?
yeah, everybody stay true to what they believe hardcore is about because only you can decide what that may be... the fashions, the records, the shows, the zines, the drama, the messageboards, etc. are all just filler. let the hardcore community help you understand yourself before you try to understand the hardcore community cuz that's all that really matters in the end. look out for "WATCH YOU SUFFER" in January on A389. don't fight at shows.
