Drew: Alright, well we are a three piece from south of Seattle (Beacon Hill). Jimmy-Guitar\Vox, Brandon- Bass and me on drums\vox. Jimmy also plays in Exogorth\Mowl Bowl\Chronic Tomb and a newer grind\fastcore project Slugged, Brandon and I don’t have a ton of time for other projects due to work etc.. Grindcore is all about having fun with your friends and playing the noise that we love!
Jose: What are the main influences band wise or people wise c) what kind of equipment do you guys use?
Drew: My main influences are mainly the old Greats that came before us, (early Napalm Death, Gore beyond Necropsy, Last days of Humanity, Rot, Fear of God, Agathocles… etc.). But I'm also really into European\Japanese HC\D-beat, gore grind, noise core and old school 90s gangster rap. Oh and for drum gear I play a DW 4 piece kit with a 18” Zildjian big ping ride and two 14” Stagg crash cymbals.
Jose: What are your influences towards the band? What do you guys write about, what really gets you grind mode, or gets you pissed and makes you really want to tear shit apart?
Drew: Our influence towards the band is GORE. No lyrics, No bullshit. It's just me and Jimmy doing low gutturals and rat screams. Just shredding with homies Blasts and D-beats FOREVER.
4. Where are you guys located- how's the scene over there- how do they accept grind? b) any bands you're looking forward to or would want to see/play live with?
Drew: We’re from Seattle, and the scene here is pretty small but we still have killer DIY house shows that have great turn outs. I'd say a good amount of the “scene” accepts grindcore\punk but I'd say half are really in to it and the other half just thinks they are haha. Bands im really looking forward to playing with or seeing someday are: Grinch Finger, Archagathus, Paucities, Couple skate, Agitate, and Parfumerie…plus a shit ton more!
b) What would be the perfect noise grind sound you personally would love to sound like?
Drew: WORLD from Japan or F.O.G.
6. Where do most shows happen in your area? What has been the best memorable show in your area? b) how is seattle with grind or any other sub genre scene? what other scenes are there?
Drew: We have three main places. We usually play the Meat Suite (Jimmys house where AFx jams) FBK(george town) and the Joesephine.
7. Have you guys toured? Would you want to, where would you want to go, when? b) I've thrown some sweet ass shows, you can almost call every show i've thrown a fest, with all kinds of grind here in Los Angeles. would you guys be down to some day join the fun here in Los Angeles?
Drew: All I'm going to say is we’ll be there soon.
8. List your releases. how long have you guys been a band? do you have any future releases, splits, or future thoughts or plans to do releases?
Drew: Right now we have a 2014 demo out on Incursion\Rain city grindcore and other diy distros, And a split with Horrendous Miscreation from Canada (Isn't out in distros yet). We’ve been a band since last October, 2013. Tons of upcoming releases tapes and 7s!
9. How do you guys record, or who records you? What quality are you guys digging, the grind lo fi style, or do you guys go full on pro studio? Which do you prefer?
Drew: For the newest release we recorded with a field recorder and mixed it on a computer program. A good quality Lo-fi recording is the way to go.
10. What are some of your bands goals or outlooks for the future?
Drew: To play killer shows, Do a few tours, and release split with bands all over
