Greetings! Thanks for reading.  We started doing interviews of new grindcore and underground genres. To introduce ourselves. Well, I'm Jose, we book as Strictly Underground for Los Angeles County.  We've thrown a shitload of backyard, bar, venue shows. We're not your typical type of show bookers, our shows usually go in a festival like format and we invite as many bands to play and try to charge the minimum amount so everyone can enjoy the shit out of our shows regardless of your economic issues.  I started throwing shows when I was 15 in El Monte.  I was influenced by the grind/punk scene we had back in 98', 99', it was amazing! Such bands as Scum, Wargasm, Nukum, Terrorism, Necropolis, Progeria, Purgatoria, as well as the more well known grind like Excruciating Terror, Gasp, Plutocracy, Lack of Interest, Shut the Fuck Up, Man is the Bastard, and a ridiculous more. It was a great time to go out with your friends, wear the shirts, buy the 36 packs, walk down the block on a Friday or Saturday night afterschool, it was a fucking great time back then, every gig was off the chain! So now moving forward 15 years, I have brought that back, not in El Monte unfortunately, but Los Angeles cities where Grind used to happen back then too like South Central, Inglewood, Compton, Downtown, East LA, Silverlake and Hollywood.  Shit has cracked like the times before, and our greatest foe or number one opponent has always been the popo.  But we've still kept our culture alive. And now I'll stop jabbering and show you guys some interviews.

  1. Hey man, from what I just read, it seems to me like you are trying to take credit for everything I did in high school like if you're trying to pretend you are me or some shit... by the way... what show did you throw when you were 15? Asking because Noe and I don't recall you throwing shows at all when you were in high school.
