I'm doing rather well. I just (like minutes ago) saw some Beach Slang photographs we recently shot and, man, I hardly look as uncomfortable as I felt. So, yeah, I'll take it.</div>

<b><i>First off, introduce yourself and members of the band:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
James (I write songs and sing them with my guitar), Ed (he plays the bass like magic) and JP (he plays the drums like thunder).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>and how Beach Slang originally came together?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first of us coming together was Ed booking an <a href="http://exfriends.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"><b><i>Ex Friends</i></b></a> show. He and JP become mates and started to toss around the idea of starting a band. JP liked my smile and my songs so he wrote me. We got together, played a few minutes of some dumb thing I had lying around and knew we had something. And now we are Beach Slang.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Why did you choose the band name Beach Slang?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to skate with this girl who referred to the way I spoke as 'beach slang'. I guess it's all the 1980s Valley Girl speak I can't shake. Anyway, she was a real sweet heart and a much better skater. And that dumb phrase just never slipped off. Sometimes, it makes me remember how soft some of my growing up was. I like hanging on to those small parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b><i>"Who Would Ever Want Anything So Broken?" has been out for just about a month now. How has the reaction been from fans?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wildly sweet. I mean, I walk around now feeling fuzzed up and flattered and humbled and all the good things you want to feel. I cross-my-heart plan to smother all of them with hugs on tour. My arms and heart are ready.</div>

<b><i>What are your thoughts on the finished product?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's exactly what it's supposed to be. We rehearsed it for a month, recorded it in a day and mixed it in another. It's not perfect, but it's honest. There's no gunk to it. Just 3 guys plugging in and bleeding it out. I think that's what people are connecting with. </div>

<b><i>What’s your experience been like with Dead Broke Rekerds? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mike and Dead Broke have been bullseye. I mean, it's why we sent our demos to him. If I'm going to hand out these things I've been working so hard on, I want it to be to someone I respect and trust and find incredibly charming. Mike is all of those things.</div>

<b><i>How do you adapt to downloading music illegally? Do you support downloading music?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't. It's all very Abbie Hoffman to me. If a kid downloads a Beach Slang song and emails it out to a whole bunch of friends, that's a whole bunch of people getting turned on to what we're doing, you know, instead of just one. And I'm stoked about that. If we're really doing something that connects, that deserves to have a place, it will.</div>

<b><i>How do you think small bands make a profit?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Play shows and play them hard, be honest and humble, write things that people will give a damn about. Right? Most importantly, don't worry about making a profit. Worry about making something so fucking heart-swelling that it makes you not worry about money. Do that and you're there.</div>

<b><i>Do you think it's necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not necessary, but a good idea, yeah? If you don't have any of those things, go work for some gutless corporation or something. What indie kids built is meant to be cared for. Look, I know I tend to romanticize the underground scene, but it deserves that. I hold it as this place where outsiders can belong, where kids think thinking is a good thing. The ethic-less, sadly, will always have a back door to sneak in, but they tend to die very early, thankful scene deaths. That's why we're still here.</div>

<i><b>What's your biggest gripe with the punk scene?</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have any gripes. I'm hardly sure I believe in them. I mean, in the scene, I surround myself with people that I believe, that mean it all. Once you do that, you're bulletproof. I leave drama to people who are fascinated by it. I am not one of them. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first show I ever went to was The Ramones at this hall in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. I was a kid, like pre-teen. I walked in there and it was like fucking outer space. I loved every big part of it. When The Ramones came on, kids went loose. But what I really remember, what really made me know I was going to be a lifer was getting knocked down in all that good energy and picked right back up by a bunch of older, smiling punks. Fuck yeah. Man, I honestly just got goosebumps writing that bit. I always tell my Mom that was the day I was actually born. She hates that.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You know, at its basest level, it's still pretty much the same thing—restless kids picking up guitars, misfits looking for a place to belong. Dear Scene, don't ever change.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I listen to very little. Whenever I do, it starts to sneak into things I'm writing and then I feel thief-y. The only time I really ever have music on is when I'm doing art stuff. It feels less intentionally absorbable that way. So yeah, for that stuff I just looked at the last five things I played: Jay Reatard, The Only Ones, Swervedriver, Richard Hell and Diiv.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ah, thanks so much. It's strange, my throat got all damaged a few years back and those songs are so hard to sing now. I listen to them and feel like I could've been a shoo-in for the Vienna Boys' Choir, you know? Anyway, the future for Weston is pretty non-existent. I mean, but who knows, right? </div>

For Beach Slang, it's pretty blinding, man. We just signed with The Agency Group, just finished writing our second e.p., have a run of shows with Crow Bait in June and, of course, are gearing up for Fest in the fall. It will be my first time there. And, honestly, I'm pretty much just trying to shove time forward.</div>

<b><i>Hey, Eric. How are you doing? How's Chicago?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey! Feeling good and staying warm. Chicago is great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>First off, introduce yourself and members of the band and how Dowsing originally came together?</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My name is Erik and I play Guitar and Sing in Dowsing. Currently we have Mikey Crotty on Guitar, Michael Politowicz on Bass, and whoever can play drums. Dowsing songs were written before I moved to Chicago, but the idea to start a band was forged near Wrigley stadium with Gooey Fame and Delia Hornik over some pizza.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Can you name a band that inspired you to play music? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Green Day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Where did you see your songwriting progress from "It's Still Pretty Terrible" to "I Don't Even Care Anymore" and where do you maybe see it going in the future?</i> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many people don’t realize the songwriting process is long and arduous. We’ve realized 2 LPs but it took me a long time to mold the songs the way I wanted them before I even showed them to other band members. ISPT there was a lot more time put into the “crafting” of the songs, and I think that shows. IDECA was my Pinkerton and is more raw and has a certain atmosphere to it. I see our sound becoming more rock oriented, but until I can do that rock stance... we can be an emo band.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>What’s your experience been like with Count Your Lucky Stars records? How do you adapt to downloading music illegally? Do you support downloading music? How do you think small bands make a profit? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have nothing but respect and admiration for Keith and Cathy. They have put a lot of hard work into my band and their label, in addition to helping me through some personal tribulations. As far as downloading music it’s hard to adapt. At this point you have to run with them. When it comes to illegal downloads I support providing music to others in the form of “Pay What You Want.” With that said though I think if you can find my record and you want to eventually buy it physically go for the illegal download. Go for it no matter what I won’t find you. Thanks for listening to my band! Which brings up your last question. It’s not easy being a small band, but I get a lot of joy in touring and making friends and hanging out. Staying afloat and making money at this level requires a lot of groundwork. It’s taken us 2 years to be able to afford basic necessities for the band without paying out of pocket, but when it happens it is the best thing in the world though. In short, you have to tour a lot and people have to support you. I am no longer the band Sugar Daddy (that’s a lie).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>You've played a lot shows in many cities. What are the main differences between playing shows in the U.S. as opposed to European shows? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it can be rough in both spots, but in the past I’ve tended to think that America was harder to tour. Let’s just say across the board that our foreign friends tend to be better hosts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>What's your favorite and least favorite part about touring? How do you handle the rigors of the road? Do you try to go out and see things when you are in different cities? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sleeping and sleeping. Sleeping is great but you can miss a lot of what is going on if you sleep the whole time and you start to feel like you live in a dreamland. We use to tour in a conversion van but now we have a modified short bus, which is excellent for sleeping. I guess sleeping is not so bad now. We’ve made it a goal to see at least one thing a day (depending on where we are), eat one “good” meal, and sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Other than Dowsing, what other bands/projects are you all involved with? </i></b></div>

<b><i>Could you please talk about your involvement in the DIY punk community, how you got involved and how it affects your lives? (putting out your music, going on tours and playing shows, etc)</i> </b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’ve lived in “punk” houses for the past 7 years. I have run basement shows, garage shows, put up touring bands for the night, made travelers food. Being a good host to strangers can make you some of the best friends you’ll ever meet. I’ve been lucky to meet so many people over the years who continue to help me and I them. My only complaint is that I go to too many shows, but that is my lifestyle it’s what I love.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Do you think it’s necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics? </i></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it is more important to be a good person and to understand others. I don’t preach I listen and I respect others opinions. I think that just basic humanity is nice. Some people just need to get off the internet (including me).<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>How is the Chicago scene? Any acts we’ve been unfortunately overlooking? </i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now the Chicago scene seems to be in an upswing. I’ve found it hard to find young bands that I like. This band Churchkey (Glocca Morra Core) http://okcupid.bandcamp.com/ and Mothlight (Screamo) https://mothlightchicago.bandcamp.com/ are really good.<br />

There is a split with an “unnamed” band coming out soon. We are currently demoing 7 new songs, but have not decided yet if it could be a full length or just an EP. We are looking to tour a lot this Fall and get something new out by the beginning of 2015. <b> </b><br />

<b><i>Hey Mickey, how are you doing?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey I’m well! Currently in the van on the way to New York City with Nervosas. Somewhere in New Jersey right now. Nick is navigating and fishing through tapes while Jeff is driving and making sure we don’t get lost. I get to sit in the back, eat munchos and do this! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>First off, introduce yourself and members of the band:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nervosas is: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jeff Kleinman: bass guitar & vocals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nick Schuld: drums</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mickey Marie (that’s me!): guitar and vocals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>So, tell me how Nervosas originally came together?</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nervosas became a band in 2011 when Jeff and I were fresh in love and our previous projects had ended. I went to a guitar show and found this old rocktek chorus pedal that sounded fucking nuts. I started playing around with it in Jeff’s room and he picked up his bass and then we just started writing songs. I was suffering from severe anxiety, depression and a string of other medical problems during this time including vocal nodules from singing in my old band <a href="http://newcreasesoh.bandcamp.com/album/about-last-night-2" target="_blank"><i><b>New Creases</b></i></a>. I had damaged my voice so badly I could not talk well for months. I could barely work and was unraveling in every way until I got on medication and started playing music with Jeff. He helped me channel my despair in Nervosas. All of his baselines made my weird guitar noodlings make sense and his voice just gave me the chills. I couldn’t sing but it didn’t matter because he has the voice I had always wanted anyway. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we discussed drummers, he mentioned a guy I did not know named Nick who is known as one of the best drummers in Columbus. Jeff was uneasy about it because he didn’t know Nick too well and heard all kinds of crazy stories. Nick is 10+ years older than both of us and has played in Gaunt, Beano, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments and other well known Columbus bands since the early 90s. During our first practice I was blown away at his skill and style and loved his personality. He knows so much about music, he is the MVP of Nervosas in so many ways, especially when it comes to the band’s vision. When I want to know about a band, I don’t look on the internet, I ask Nick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>What’s your experience been like with <a href="http://www.letspretendrecords.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Let’s Pretend</span></a> and <a href="http://methmouthrecords.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Meth Mouth</span></a> records? How do you adapt to downloading music illegally? Do you support downloading music? How do you think small bands make a profit? </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our experience with Let’s Pretend and Meth Mouth records has been very positive. The owners are friends of ours and we haven’t had any problems selling records despite illegal downloading. I do not have a problem with people illegally downloading music. That’s how I got into punk, unfortunately. I grew up in a small town outside of Cleveland, Ohio and didn’t live near record stores. I went on message boards and used napster to find out about bands. When I was able to drive, I started to go to shows and really wanted to buy music from the bands to support them. All of the bands I liked were putting out records, so I started to buy records and stopped downloading. I think that downloading music and bootlegging tapes is cool and necessary because punk music should be accessible and shared. But if you have the means, and you really want to support your scene and punk rock in general, buy the records. Small bands often pay for everything themselves and work shit jobs just like everyone else. The only way we can sustain ourselves is by selling our records and playing out of town shows. And creating those records and getting to those shows costs money! Nervosas is lucky because we break even and have a little left over to pour into the next record, shirt printing, tour, etc. We still pay for the upkeep of all our instruments, amps, and van ourselves.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Can you name a band that inspired you to play music? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were so many bands in Cleveland that inspired me to play music but I would say <a href="http://delayoh.bandcamp.com/album/plain-language" target="_blank"><i><b>Delay</b></i></a> inspired me the most. They helped build a significant era of the DIY scene in Cleveland and then Columbus when I first moved here at age 17. They were a huge influence on me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="210" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/scJqftSmacI?rel=0" width="430"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Could you please talk about your involvement in the DIY punk community, how you got involved and how it affects your lives? (putting out your music, going on tours and playing shows, etc)</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was first introduced to the DIY scene when I was 17 years old. I went to see Alkaline Trio at the Agora in Cleveland and afterward my friend convinced me to come with him to see this band 9 Shocks Terror at this show spaced called the Tower. I walked into this old storefront type building and up the stairs to a room full of punk kids drinking and yelling at each other. There was a woman running the show and I immediately thought she was the coolest person I had ever met. When 9 Shocks Terror started, kids went fucking crazy and it was the most violent, insane shit I had ever witnessed up until that point in being a punk. A plunger was thrown at my face and I didn’t care at all. I couldn’t believe that something so cool and liberating could be happening outside of a shitty bar / big music club and run by punks themselves. There were no macho door guys, security guards, or rules of any kind. I fell in love immediately and finally felt like I belonged somewhere. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I moved to Columbus that year and after a year in college dormitories, I moved into my first punk house the Legion of Doom. That house has been hosting all-ages punk shows since the mid-80s. I made friends with older punks who started the monthly DIY calendar that listed all the shows happening outside of bars and venues, it was called CSBYS (Columbus Sucks Because You Suck). It sounds negative, but really it was just a saying that meant “Get off your ass and do something cool for your scene because if you suck then Columbus does too.” After a few months, I decided to start my own house, which had actually been a punk house previously. My friends and I resurrected it and kept the old name 15th House. For three years I booked all kinds of shows there - punk, hardcore, metal, pop punk, grind, noise, folk pop, anything. It was an exhilarating, nerve wracking and thankless job. But my housemates and all of the friends I made in the process were so worth it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being apart of the DIY scene helped me network with touring bands who liked my band and wanted to book us in their cities. All of my bands’ tours are booked by me and my band mates because that’s what makes sense. Nervosas does not limit ourselves to the DIY scene in Columbus but we are a DIY band in many ways. Nick records all of our music, Jeff creates all of our artwork, we screen print all of our t shirts, tape covers, record sleeves. On the 2XLP we screen printed the 4th side of every record. We book our own out of town shows and consistently book DIY bands in Columbus, giving them at least $100, food and a place to stay. </div>

<b><i>Do you think it’s necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I think all punk and independent bands should subscribe to a code of ethics involving the interactions we have with each other, our audiences, our communities and the “music business.” I could write pages about all of the ethics I believe in but I’ll save you from that. I think local punk and independent bands need to support touring acts whenever possible. Take money only when there is plenty to go around. Make sure your scene is accessible to all kinds of people and challenge all forms of discrimination you encounter at shows. Make your music cheap and accessible and leave your pretentiousness at home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>How is the Ohio scene? Any acts we’ve been unfortunately overlooking?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Columbus, Ohio music scene is doing well. There are a lot of good touring acts being booked and great locals supporting those bills. Local bands are putting out excellent releases, touring and even getting signed. We have great venues and longstanding DIY house show spots. My only gripe with the Columbus, Ohio scene is that it’s fractured. There is a lack of unity and everything has become so cliquey. We’re too much of a small city for that. </div>

<b><i>What are some of your biggest influences outside of music?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love, regret, personal and political frustration influence most of my songwriting. Though sometimes I wonder if I’m writing the music or if the music is writing me. The thought of playing guitar when I can’t just gnaws at me. I don’t know where that feeling comes from, I’ve had it since I can remember. Sometimes writing lyrics is like throwing up where the words are forced out of me and I have to release them in order to feel better. I have many outside influences but really I play to stay sane. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rumspringer is super hooky, melodic pop-punk from Arizona, and the good ol' Long Island boys in Sister Kisser power through with more of that urgent, heartfelt, melodic punk rock we know and love. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cerce is a Boston, MA based band who play a great style of female fronted hardcore, punk, and post hardcore. Probably my favorite band in hardcore right now. Amazing band</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Prawn seem to do everything right on Ships. From its perfect balance of post-rock atmosphere and twinkly emo riffs, to its no filler 29 minute runtime, Prawn feel like a band that has finally found their sound and a band who knows exactly what they're doing. With the growth Prawn have made over their three releases, and with Ships being their best effort yet, it's easy to envision Prawn at the top of the emo food chain in the near future."</div>

What can I say about this album that hasn’t already been said by tons of people.. I’ll just say it, amazing! I remember two years ago when I first heard Glocca Morra, and I loved the songs a lot.There’s really something for everyone here—twinkly guitars for the emo revival set, loud noise for the punk crowd, drug references, Arrested Development references…it’s all here. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m doing pretty well. I’m just finishing up packing my bag for a trip to Iowa and Chicago with some friends. Colorado is just fine, it’s hot as hell outside and it’s got me craving a Mojito!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>First off, introduce yourself and members of the band:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My name’s Tim Browne and I sing and play guitar. Garrett Carr plays the drums, Joe Henderer plays bass and sings, and the venerable Brian Van Proyen plays guitar and sings.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So, tell me how 10-4 Eleanor - Elway originally came together? And how did the name come about and what does it mean?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was either August or September of 2007 that we had our first practice and started to put songs together. I moved to Fort Collins from a small town called Monument to go to college, and the first year that I lived here I didn’t really have any friends to play music with, so I just wrote all these songs and never did much with them other than play the occasional open mic. I really started to get the itch to start a band after I got The Lawrence Arms’ “Oh! Calcutta!” record, because it reminded me of just how much fun it is to be shouting songs into a microphone with your best friends, and so I got really determined to get something together. I met Garrett and Joe through mutual friends and Brian, who moved up to Fort Collins later was already a good friend of mine, eventually joined up and we started writing and demoing these songs and ‘tightening’ up our live show. It’s still not very tight though, unfortunately. After spending an entire couple of practices mulling over various band names, we finally agreed on 10-4 Eleanor, which is a reference to skit by a comedy group from the 1960s called Firesign Theatre, because it seemed catchy and memorable, but above all not serious. The attitude that the band was founded on was to have fun with the music and never take ourselves (or anything) too seriously. We played our first show on December 16th, 2007 and it went over really well and from then on, we just survived off of the momentum. I think that we started playing at a time when Fort Collins was really hungry for a thriving DIY scene. We played basements and living rooms and made something of a name for ourselves around town just having a blast and drinking. Fast forward a few years, 2 LPs, 3 EPs, 1 split 7”, and 300+ shows later, here we are!</div>

<b>Why do you change the name of the band from 10-4 Eleanor to Elway?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, like I said, <a href="http://www.deathtofalsehoperecords.com/downloads/dtfh006.html">10-4 Eleanor</a> was the product of our mutual interest in not taking anything too seriously. The band name just seemed to have that essence of not giving a fuck that we found both funny and accessible. Once we signed to <a href="http://www.redscare.net/site/">Red Scare</a> though, we wanted to try to start fresh, so to speak, and really try to milk our luck for all it’s worth. We changed the name to Elway because it is a more memorable and more accessible band name, but really because it still carried the tongue in cheek attitude and sarcasm that still pervades our characters as people and as a band. The band is, ostensibly, named after an American football player named John Elway, who in Colorado is a living legend. None of us care much (if at all) about sports, so the rechristening of our Colorado-based punk band after a famous Colorado athlete is purely ironic, and also pays a certain homage to the place that we began as a band. Elway just gave us a sort of a new beginning without sacrificing our commitment to never taking ourselves too seriously.<br />

<b>What's your experience been like with <a href="http://www.deathtofalsehoperecords.com/">Death To False Records</a>? I remember Scotty put your two records "Too Bad" and "Words Can Not Express How Much Fuck This Band" for free download. how do you adapt to downloading music illegally? Do you support downloading music? How do you think small bands can make a profit?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first emailed Scotty about putting out 10-4’s recordings on DTFH, the label was in its infancy. The only records on the website were either projects that Scotty or label cohort Jonathan Minor were directly involved in. I loved the idea of a not for profit record label that helps to spread the word about good, hardworking bands to those who would listen. We had our recordings sitting around, and lord knows we weren’t going to be able to make people come to our Myspace page and listen on our own. So Scotty agreed to put our music up for download, and it turned out to be one of the best things that has ever happened for our band. DTFH started to earn a reputation for promoting good music for good music’s sake, and people took note. It seemed like as early as our first tour there were people in town that seemed so far away that were singing the songs and buying merch and genuinely caring about the music. It’s hard to look at the free flow of music on the internet as being a bad thing. It is a very humbling feeling to play my songs in Germany, Wales, or Russia and see people singing along. It is a feeling so incredible, that it’s hard for me to be anything but smitten over the fact that they have heard the songs at all, regardless of how they acquired them. The music industry isn’t what it once was, and we’re not going back to the time where making punk rock records was in any way profitable. You can’t stop the free flow of information via the internet, and I wouldn’t want to anyway. If one person in Moscow hears Elway through illegal downloading and likes it, it is worth it. We only ask that that person comes out to our show and maybe buys a shirt or something to help us keep touring. It’s hard for a band our size to make a profit, but considering that we started this band in the mice-infested basement of a house in Fort Collins and toured our way across the country in basements and dive-bars, I don’t think that making loads of money is our main concern. We just want enough to keep doing what we love.</div>

<b>How did you guys get involved with Red Scare Industries? How has it been working with them?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me and Brian were having a few cocktails one night at the local punk bar in Fort Collins, and through some kind of cosmic punk rock happenstance, we managed to bump into Brendan Kelly from The Lawrence Arms, who was in town visiting family. After a few drinks, we managed to convince him to play an acoustic set while he was in town and we arranged for our band to open. I can’t really remember the specifics of the show, but for whatever reason we must have done pretty well, because after the show, Brendan got us all in a room and told us that he wanted us to do a record with Red Scare Industries. This was hugely stoking for us, as we’re all pretty big fans of the music that Red Scare has put out, and it was a very exciting prospect to be working with them. So after a few months of talking back and forth with Red Scare head honcho Toby Jeg, we hatched a plan to record Delusions in Chicago with Matt Allison. We put the record out May of last year and have been touring on and off ever since. Our new EP Hence My Optimism is coming out next week (June 12th) and we’re just as stoked to be working with Toby and Red Scare now as we ever were before.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The EP only came out a week ago now, so it’s hard to gauge the reaction just yet. I can say that we’re very proud of the new songs and we hope that people will share in our enthusiasm. In terms of new material, we’ve got a pretty substantial batch of songs in the works that will eventually become our 3rd LP. Hopefully we can get to recording sometime late this year or early next year.</div>

<b>How was european tour with Nothinghton? You've played a lot shows in many cities. What are the main differences between playing shows in the U.S. as opposed to European shows? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Touring with Nothington in Europe was as awesome as it was totally strange. It was my first time in Europe, and it was really great to get to experience all these new places with a band that I’ve been a fan of for years. I was playing drums, which is not by any stretch what I am used to doing in bands. I’m a decently capable drummer, but the live dynamic is totally different from playing guitar and singing. It took some getting used to, but it wound up being crazy amounts of fun! Playing in Europe, best as I can tell, is in almost every imaginable way better than touring the US. At every show we played in Europe, we were provided with dinner, a place to stay, and usually breakfast! That is unheard of in the US! The drives are shorter and people seem to really appreciate what you do. Not that people over here don’t appreciate musicians, they just don’t have such a forward way of expressing it.</div>

<b>Which of your shows was the most memorable for you?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This isn’t just lip service because this is for a Russian blog, but my favorite shows were the 3 we played in Russia. All of the people we met who were involved with the shows were so energetic and awesome. I mean, one crazy fucker actually crowd surfed on an actual surf board at one point! Our show at Lo-fi in Moscow was probably the craziest show I’ve ever played in any band.</div>

<b>Do you try to go out and see things when you are in different cities?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being that it was my first time in Europe, I was trying to see as many tourist-type things as possible. It’s actually equally rewarding to me to see ‘the sights’ in different parts of the world as it is to play shows in different parts of the world. I’m incredibly lucky to be able to do the things I do, and so I try to fill my days with exploring cities that are new and strange to me.</div>

<b>What's your favorite and least favorite part about touring? How do you handle the rigors of the road?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite part is meeting new people who you feel like have been your friends for years! One thing I’ve noticed about touring is that the world seems to become a smaller place, and you feel more connected with people all over after having met them and shared an evening drinking and singing songs. It’s one of the most amazing feelings to converse with somebody halfway across the world who loves the same music or literature as you! I’ll quit jobs and go into debt to have that feeling with as many people as possible! The worst part is probably that you have to leave familiar places and people and spend a lot of time without the comfort of a permanent home. Being always in motion makes it hard to relax sometimes. I must say though, it’s really a minor gripe considering how fulfilling it is to be able to take my music on the road.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Since you guys are touring kind of by yourselves, you’re on a lot of bills with local bands. Have any of them really stood out to you?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothington had the privilege of playing with some really great bands on this last European tour. Some of my favorites were Terrible Feelings from Sweden, All Aboard from Germany, Sam Russo and Leagues Apart from The UK, and Rooftops from Russia. It’s really awesome when you show up to a town you’ve never played before and there’s a local opener that just rips. I’m excited to see who will be playing some of Elway’s shows!</div>

<b>How is the Colorado scene? Any acts we've been unfortunately overlooking?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colorado, and Fort Collins in particular is a pretty great place to start a punk rock band, as the living is cheap and simple, and the geographic isolation just begs for a DIY punk scene. It’s not one of the first places you think of when you think emerging punk rock markets, but you can find some real gems here! Sour Boy Bitter Girl, Arliss Nancy, Anchor Point, St. Fall Apart, Boldtype, Allout Helter, and False Colours are among the best Colorado bands, and everyone should check them out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Could you please talk about your involvement with the DIY punk community, how you got involved in it and how it affects your lives (putting out your music, going on tours and playing shows, etc)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When 10-4 Eleanor got started in 2007, Fort Collins didn’t have too much of a DIY punk scene. We were fortunate enough to have a lot of really awesome, motivated friends that operated house venues and warehouses and other show spaces. In the first year we were playing shows, we saw Fort Collins go from being a city without much of a DIY presence to one of the best scenes we’ve ever experienced in the US. We got our start by spraypainting our CDs and handmaking cases out of old 5 ½” floppy discs. We put our first EP and LP online through Death To False Hope Records, which is a really rad donation based record label out of North Carolina. It was through those connections made online that we were able to bust our asses touring all over the country and make a little bit of a name for ourselves. Of course, we still play basements and DIY spaces all the time. The fact that you can go all over the world and find people who are interested in independent music and places that will host it is an awesome testament to the power of DIY ethics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Do you think it's necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I would say that I find it very important to know what you believe and why you believe it, I wouldn’t say that every independent musician has to live and play by unbendable rules. For Elway, it is very important not to take playing music so seriously that it becomes a job that is no longer fun. We believe in the power of making a name for your band via self-determination and DIY ethics, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t want to have the assistance of an independent record label like Red Scare Industries or a booking agent in Europe like Benny from Klownhouse tours. The problem I see with a lot of DIY punk bands is a lack of flexibility in their beliefs. When bands are utterly unyielding and loudmouthed in their commitment to being self-determined and self-propelled, they sometimes come off as being stubborn and arrogant and small-minded. I don’t shun bands for wanting to make enough money to pay some bills, and I wouldn’t expect people to shun me for doing the same. Being able to understand and respect different viewpoints on how to conduct yourself as an independent musician is what allows for artistic and professional growth. I’m not going to tell anyone how to express themselves artistically, and it annoys the shit out of me when I am told how to express myself artistically.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What's your biggest gripe with the punk/hardcore scene?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can only really speak about the American punk/hardcore scene on this one. I will say that in the United States, one thing that really bothers me is the attitude that a lot of people have about the consumption of music both live and digitally. Because of the widespread availability of music for free on the internet via piracy, the actual physical representation of our music is highly devalued. It’s very difficult to make enough money on our record sales in the US to keep touring. That’s fine, it’s unrealistic to expect that people will ever go back to buying music like they did before Napster. The problem arises when people also refuse to pay a reasonable price for a show as well. Going on tour in the US in a huge gas-guzzling van is very expensive. It involves a lot of financial compromises on the part of the touring band in order to get their music out on the road. While I know a lot of really great people have an understanding of this, many others treat small touring bands like garbage, or they refuse to pay $8 for a show with 2 touring bands. The entitlement some people have about it is astounding! You’ll hear things like “If $5 was good enough for Fugazi, then it’s good enough for you!” Such bullshit! When Fugazi was touring, gas was $.89 a gallon and people actually bought records! If fans of independent music are going to download hundreds of thousands of bands’ records without paying a cent, they shouldn’t be allowed to complain when a band so audaciously asks to be paid enough money to get to the next show. That kind of attitude and atmosphere is what leads bands to financial ruin and breaking up. There are a lot of really awesome and talented bands out there who deserve to be heard, and a lot of people who could help these bands out. The fact that some fans of this niche market of music would rather drop $25 on a bar tab than $6 on a punk show just goes to show how shitty and entitled the information age has made some of us. Luckily, this doesn’t seem to be the case with the European or Russian punk scenes from what I’ve noticed on tour with Nothington. As long as people are stoked on touring bands coming to their town, and willing to help us get to the next city without going broke (again), I am perfectly satisfied with the punk/hardcore scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What does the future for Elway look like?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we’re going to be touring with Teenage Bottlerocket and The Dopamines in late July. We’re going to Western Canada and the West Coast of the US. That’ll be loads of fun. Then we’re going to tour out to the East Coast in September and fly to Europe and Russia for a 6 week tour. It’ll be our first time there and we’re so fucking excited! We’ll get back in late October and tour down to Fest and back, then we’ll start work sometime shortly thereafter on our third LP. It’ll be a pretty busy second half of the year and we couldn’t be more excited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thanks for taking time out to talk with me Tim, can't wait to see you in september! Anything else you'd like to add/share?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a big thanks to anyone who is reading this who has taken or will take the time to check us out and maybe come out to a show or two while we’re in your neighborhood! It’s so humbling to hear people getting stoked about our band in other parts of the world. We can’t wait to come and hang out with everyone!<br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Sundials is a great indie/punk band out of Richmond. For fans of Superchunk, Failures' Union, Teenage Cool Kids, etc. The beats are fast, but poppy and punky. These guys make me want to sing my little heart out. </span></i><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i><i><span style="font-size: large;">Do yourself a favor, check it out at their <a href="http://sundials.bandcamp.com/"><b>bandcamp page</b></a> . Also make sure to buy their new full length, which is coming out soon from Asian man Records. </span></i><b><i><br /></i></b><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to Harris who was kind enough to take the time to answer some questions. Enjoy!</span></i><br />

<b><i>Hey Harris! How are you doing? How's Richmond?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Hey Vanya! Richmond is great. But I’m actually on tour in Vermont right now. New England is beautiful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br /> First off, introduce yourself and members of the band:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3brevKVCT1qchtnao1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3brevKVCT1qchtnao1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><i><br /> </i></b>Cory plays drums, Carl plays bass, and I play guitar and sing. We all write songs. I don’t think a lot of people know this, but our drummer Cory writes half of them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><i>So, tell me how Sundials originally came together? And how did the name come about and what does it mean?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>We all grew up playing with each others bands in high school and beyond. Carl and I used to play in a band called Friendly Fire, and when that split up I guess we just wanted to keep playing music together. I had seen Cory play in a bunch of awesome dc-influenced dischord kinda bands, and thats kinda what I wanted in a drummer. See, Sundials originally set out to sound like Young Widows and In Utero-era Nirvana... I’d say we hit the nail on the head with that one.<br />
I wanted to name the band off of an Alkaline Trio song from the start, and Sundials was their first release. At the time I wasn't sure how Cory and Carl felt about Trio, so I pitched it as just a general name, and told them about three months later what it came from!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br />So on to the music. Could you describe the way Sundials sounds?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>I like to think that we sound like The Lemonheads covering Alkaline Trio, or maybe vice versa, But that’s probably just totally not true. We all come from pretty different influences. I’ve spent the past two years listening to a ton of Pavement, Nirvana, Replacements, Superchunk, and the two aforementioned bands, so that kinda stuff probably works its way in there. Cory grew up in the DC burbs, and as such was heavily influenced by the dischord catalog, as well as bands like Hot Snakes and Alkaline Trio (duh). Carl just listens to Bad Religion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br /> I know that you guys have a split coming out with Tatlins Tower. When should we expect to see that and what made you want to do a split with Tatlins Tower?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>The drummer of Tatlins Tower (Dan) recorded Never Settle as well as a few other 7”s we’ve done. I think he showed us a demo of a Tatlins Tower song and we were just blown away. He actually recorded the whole split. It should be out sometime this summer, I’m stoked!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b><br />

What can we expect? How has that been coming along?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>Yeah! We tracked the whole thing two weeks ago, and I couldn’t be more excited. Working with Mike Bardzik felt like a really good fit. We were put in touch with him through our buds in Spraynard, who could only say great things about working with him on Funtitled and Exton Square. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br /> </i></b><i><b>How do you feel the record differs from your previous efforts?</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>I feel like this record is a much better representation of what we’re trying to do as a band. People have always come up to me at shows and remarked at how much heavier Sundials is live, and I think we captured that this time around. Lyrically... it’s pretty sad. There is not a lot of happy on this one. It’s not a concept record or anything like that, but there is a pretty general theme. I think it’s about always being a want away from happiness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><i><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/21815530" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe><br /><br />What's your experience been like with Traffic Street Records? And how did you guys hook up with Asian man Records?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>Never Settle was actually a split release of sorts, <a href="http://www.trafficstreetrecords.com/"><b>Traffic Street</b></a> did the CD, and <a href="http://toxicpoprecords.com/"><b>Toxic Pop</b></a> did the LP. Sam and Mike were both fantastic to work with! When we started thinking about the new record, we sent out a demo and a letter to a few labels, first and foremost being <a href="http://www.asianmanrecords.com/"><b>Asian Man</b></a>. Mike replied, and I went up to meet him at the Classics of Love show in Philadelphia (which was god damn amazing). It’s honestly a dream come true. I remember flipping through the Asian Man catalog when I was 13, ya know. The self titled Alkaline Trio compilation album was more or less my gateway from Blink-182 and Green Day to Minor Threat and Operation Ivy, as crazy as that sounds. Hell, that record contains our namesake! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br /> How is the Richmond scene? Any acts we've been unfortunately overlooking?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>To many to count! Richmond has historically always been a mid-sized city with a supersize-city community for arts and music. But if I had to name a few, I’m super stoked on <b><a href="http://familycat.bandcamp.com/">Family Cat</a> </b>(think Archers of Loaf meets Jawbreaker), <a href="http://little-master.bandcamp.com/"><b>Little Master</b></a> (Wipers meet Pixies) <a href="http://springtime.bandcamp.com/"><b>Springtime</b></a> (Leatherface meets Dag Nasty), <a href="http://pedalsonourpirateships.com/album/pedals-on-our-pirate-ships"><b>Pedals on our Pirate Ships</b></a> (heart of gold folk punk) and <a href="http://holdtight.bandcamp.com/"><b>Hold Tight!</b></a>, who actually have an unbelievable new record coming out this summer. I got that shit, cause I used to be in that band (and I live with them)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br />Could you please talk about your involvement with the DIY punk community, how you got involved in it and how it affects your lives (putting out your music, going on tours and playing shows, etc)<br /><br /> </i></b>I first started going to DIY punk shows at the Purcellville Skating Rink when I was about 14. I grew up in rural North-Western Virginia, and it was about a 45 minute drive to the nearest show, not to mention my high school. I can’t emphasize how life changing that experience was. It gave me something to do outside of drugs, partying, and sports - which is about all anyone in that area ever did. <br />
When I was 16 I started setting up shows and playing in a band that sounded like Green Day. A few band transformations later, and we decided that after High School we would ditch college, and keep playing music in a bigger city. It was between Philadelphia (because Lifetime was from there) and Richmond (because Avail and Strike Anywhere were from there), but in the end our drummer wanted to go to school, and could only afford it in-state. I spent the next few years touring, living in show houses, and trying to help set up all-ages spaces. A lot has changed in Richmond since then, but I think for the better. Honestly, most of that is due to the efforts of Alex from Hold Tight!. He’s been setting up something like 3 shows a week for the last 5 years, and now has an awesome annual fest going called Stay Sweet!.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i><b><i>Do you think it's necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>I think it’s important for people to be considerate of one another. There is a lot of language out there that has become common slang, but has really negative connotations. The punk scene isn’t immune to this kind of thing. I think that as a whole we are making progress, but I still hear that shit at shows. Ya know, to a certain extent, bands are representative of their communities. If you’re the guy or gal with the mic, you have a responsibility to make the show as safe a space as possible. <br />
Basically, I just think people shouldn’t be assholes. It’s pretty hard to be an asshole, you kinda have to try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br />What's your biggest gripe with the punk scene?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>There is this weird thing within punk where people think that since the community is counter-culture that it’s immune to things like racism, homophobia and sexism. I’m constantly disappointed in the lack of respect for consent in our community. People need to start talking about sex in meaningful and open ways. Women shouldn’t feel shame, and men shouldn’t be misogynistic pricks, intentionally or otherwise. I guess the punk community might be a slight step above the rest of the world when it comes to this stuff, but it’s a very, very small step. People should work towards making sure everybody is as comfortable as possible being at a punk show. If you see or hear some bullshit, call it out.</div>

<b><i><br /><br />What are some of your biggest influences outside of music?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>Probably brunch. Brunch is the best of meals, and we know how to do it in the south! There is this place called 821 in Richmond, and it’s just the best thing ever. Breakfast burritos and $2.50 mimosas available until 5pm every day. Brunch forever!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br /> What else does the future hold for Sundials?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>This summer will see us releasing a split 7” with Tatlins Tower, as well as a split 7” with Hold Tight!. After When I Couldn’t Breathe is out we’re going to tour a whole bunch. US and Europe for sure, Japan and Russia if they’ll take us! *wink wink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /><br /> Thanks so much for your time, is there anything else you’d like to add?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /> </i></b>Move to Richmond! I feel like I have a responsibility to let awesome people know how awesome it is here. We’ve got a river, record stores, brunch, punks...what else do you need?!<b><i><br /></i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hey! How are you doing? Please, introduce yourself and members of the band:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My name is Marissa Paternoster. Michael Abbate and Jarrett Dougherty play in Screaming Females with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>First off, I have to say how much I enjoyed listening to Ugly. It’s one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time. And really, what makes it so enjoyable is your voice. It’s so distinct and unique. How old were you when discovered you could sing?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Michael and I were both in choir in our grade schools. I stopped singing in high school and began to sing a bit again right before going to university. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>Ugly has been out for just about a two month now. How has the reaction been from fans?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
So far so good! People seem to be happy and excited to hear us play new songs, we get a lot of requests, and I've been seeing a lot of old and new faces at shows. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>How would you compare this album to prior releases for fans that have yet to check it out?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Marissa: I'd say that Ugly is a much darker album. Certainly it is our best sounding album, sonically. I think it is our most ambitious record as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>How does the band go about writing material?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3lc6om9jF1qe1ohho1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3lc6om9jF1qe1ohho1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Mike, Jarrett, and myself will meet up in our practice space and begin playing some riffs. When one sticks, we'll begin arranging it into a song. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So, how did shooting your video for “It All Means Nothing” go? Why did you pick that for the first video? Why do you eat cats? It's really rad idea for the video</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Haha, well, the video is a joke. I had the idea of having Mike and Jarrett murder and bury me for a long time, I wanted to use that narrative for an older song called, "Buried in the Nude". We didn't have the time or resources back then, but now that we do, we decided to run with it. Mike had just moved into an apartment with his three cats, we wrote the cats into the narrative. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>How has it been working with <a href="http://dongiovannirecords.com/store/">Don Giovanni Records</a> so far? Do you think working with them has given you a lot more freedom than you might have had otherwise?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Don Giovanni Records is a very, very small operation run by our very close friends. They provide us with a terrific amount of support and they don't boss us around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>Covers are all the rage these days, granted usually in live setting. You covered Sheryl Crow – If It Makes You Happy. What other songs have you been known to cover or would you like to cover in the future?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
We don't do cover songs too often. We've covered the Neil Young song, "Cortez the Killer" for a split 7" with an old New Brunswick, NJ band called <a href="http://www.myspace.com/hunchback"><b>Hunchback</b></a><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>If you could do a split with any band that's currently together, what band would it be?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /> </b><a href="http://tenement.bandcamp.com/"> <b>Tenement</b></a> from Madison, WI. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
10. <b>Let's talk a little about your art, what came first, your love for music or drawings?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
They both go hand in hand, I would never rank one above the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>To give our readers a bit of a background, when did you start writing and drawing, and what got you interested in the medium? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I've been drawing for my entire life. My parents got me into sketching, but comic books and cartoons kept me going. I was a big fan of comic strips like Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side, but I also looked at a lot of fine contemporary art at a young age, like Basquiat, Pollock, and Diane Arbus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>What is your usual process for any given drawings? How long do they take you?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It depends on the size of the drawing. Sometimes they take a few hours, sometimes they take months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>What are some of the things you try to communicate through your drawings?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Oh, well, it depends on the drawing at hand. In college I was very into symbolic subversion. I'd take ubiquitous imagery, symbolic imagery, and deface it or appropriate it in a way that robbed the symbol of its inherent meaning. Since I grew up on contemporary photography, I also tend to steer towards emulating portrait work, like the work of Cindy Sherman or Robert Mapplethorpe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>What are your thoughts on the current state of the punk/indie scene? How do you react to the increased coverage and notoriety that many of the artists - including yourselves - are receiving from the press, fans, etc.?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I'm not sure. That sort of stuff doesn't mean a lot to me, personally. A lot of acts people perceive as "indie" aren't really as such, everything is sort of mainlined into the same machine nowadays. It's a bit disheartening but we just keep trying to plow through doing our own thing, work with our friends, and make our own decisions. It can certainly be challenging but working on our own accord is very satisfying, far more satisfying than any press clip.</div>

<br />
<b>Do you think it's necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I do. Good work ethic and tenacity sets a good example! It also shows your audience and contemporaries that you are dedicated and care very much for your art. There is nothing shameful in sticking your neck out a bit for what you believe in. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Mike Bruno, owner of Dead Broke Rekerds and member of many great punk bands, kindly volunteered to be peppered with questions on how it is to run an independent label, the rewards of the job, and the state of the vinyl record in today’s industry. <br />Awesome person and great label. I wish we had more people in punk rock trying to spread shit like this around! Do yourself a favor and check out <a href="http://www.deadbrokerecords.com/news.php"><b>Dead Broke Rekerds</b></a> stuff.<br />Thanks to Mike for answering my questions.</i></span><i> </i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hey Mike! how have you been?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Hey Vanya! I've been really good! Sorry for lagging on this interview, I've been super busy. Thanks for asking me, I'm flattered! Hope all is well with you too in Russia!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Right then, first things first, what lead to the start of Dead Broke Rekerds? And what does Dead Broke mean to you?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It all started back in 2002 when I released my old bands' (dobler.) demo on a CDR. Dead Broke was started as necessity to release my own bands' & my closest friends' music. All CDRs and Tapes. Little did I know what it would grow to become 10 years later. I've far exceeded any expectations as far as running a record label. Dead Broke means everything to me. It is my life. I live and breathe this shit. Every day I'm doing SOMETHING for it. I haven't worked a real job in over 2 years. I'm doing the label full time and it consumes most of my time. Im living poor as shit, but it's working and I'm pretty happy. I'm hoping to launch a new online/retail record store and reissue label here on Long Island called, Loose Ends Records. Keep an eye open for that this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Who are your favorite bands on the Dead Broke Rekerds roster? What are you most looking forward for the future regarding future releases?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Picking favorites isn't always fun, but some of my favorite bands I've worked with are: <a href="http://deadbrokerekerds.bandcamp.com/album/if-the-devil-had-a-guitar"><b>Explosivo!</b></a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/addccdda"><b>ADD/C</b></a>, <a href="http://deadbrokerekerds.bandcamp.com/album/s-t-7-e-p"><b>Landlord</b></a>, <a href="http://manwithoutplan.bandcamp.com/"><b>Man Without Plan</b></a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jackpalanceband"><b>Jack Palance Band</b></a>, <a href="http://deadbrokerekerds.bandcamp.com/album/new-ways-to-say-f-ck-off-ep"><b>Awful Man</b></a>, <a href="http://unfun.bandcamp.com/"><b>Unfun</b></a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shangalangdude"><b>Shang-a-lang</b></a> & so many more.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Are you surprised about the success of some of the bands on your label?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
ABSOLUTELY. Especially since one of the most successful bands on my label is one I am in, all weirdness aside. It's a great feeling. Label-wise AND band-wise. I am very grateful for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When bands approach you to be signed or whatever, what are you looking for?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Bands and friends approach me to put out records a lot. Sometimes it's difficult turning bands down (especially friends), but the most important thing of all to me is: I have to LOVE the music. I have to be able to get behind it 100%. I won't even put out something I just "like" or think is "pretty good". I absolutely LOVE everything I release. I also can't get down with or support anything sexist, homophobic, or racist. That shit doesn't fly. Press kits are fucking stupid too. And believe it or not, we get them occasionally. That is far from the realm of what we are doing here at Dead Broke. Those are the bands that really don't get it. Ha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Are there any bands you haven't worked with who you'd like to?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Yeah there's a few. But I am indeed very satisfied with all the bands I have worked with and feel very lucky. I think they are all some of the best DIY bands going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>As the owner of a record label, how do you adapt to downloading music illegally? Do you support downloading music? How do you think small bands can make a profit? Any ideas on how we can fix the industry?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Im not against downloading at all. I do it myself. But I like to think within punk, there is a lot of people like myself, who downloads something and if they really love it, will most likely buy the record. Everything has it exceptions and of course theres people who dont. But getting the music out there has always been the most important thing to me, so if someone downloads everything for free, so be it. At least they are taking interest in listening to the bands & what we're doing. With most of the bands I play in, we give the music away for free download ourselves (<a href="http://ironchic.bandcamp.com/"><b>Iron Chic</b></a>, <a href="http://waxphantom.bandcamp.com/"><b>Wax Phantom</b></a>, <a href="http://crowbait.bandcamp.com/"><b>Crow Bait</b></a>). This way we can control the quality of it and make sure people are getting the best sounding songs. But we always do a physical release. Because if punks like it, they are going to buy it. That's the way most of us are. Downloading is going to happen anyway, it's inevitable. So, we might as well have control of it in some aspect. Why fight it?! Embrace it, and fuck... Use it to your advantage. It's certainly not changing right now. And Fuck the "industry". They haven't a clue and could learn a lot from indie labels like: Merge, Matador, In The Red, Dischord, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Let's talk about your bands. Other than Iron Chic, what other bands/projects are you all involved with?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I play in Crow Bait and Wax Phantom as well. I also played in a bunch of other bands that have since disbanded such as: <a href="http://jonesin.bandcamp.com/"><b>Jonesin</b>'</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/downinthedumps"><b>Down In The Dumps</b></a>, <a href="http://www.ifyoumakeit.com/album/get-bent/demo/"><b>Get Bent</b></a> & a lot more.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>How long have you been playing in bands? What's your motivation and how has it changed over the years?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I have been playing in bands since I was probably about 13-15 years old. My motivation has always been to have fun. And that will never change. If its not fun, Im not into it, period.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What's your favorite and least favorite part about touring? How do you handle the rigors of the road?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Touring is a beast. It's a love/hate relationship for me. I absolutely love seeing places I've never been before, watching awesome bands I might not ever be able to see, re-connecting with old friends, & meeting tons of cool new people. Touring, of course sucks sometimes though. Being away from home, eating like shit, beating the hell of your body, and (barely) sleeping on floors gets old pretty quickly. But it's something I'll probably never stop doing, because there are way more things I love about it than hate about it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>You've played a lot shows in many cities. What are the main differences between playing shows in the U.S. as opposed to European shows?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Touring Europe and touring the states is like night and day. Ask anyone who's done both. Touring the states is great and all, but in Europe, almost every night we were pampered with incredible shows, delicious food and (mostly) free booze & weed. The shows were insane and to see that many people out there in a different country to come see our band was just great. It was an unbelievably awesome experience and I can't wait to do it again. Although there's certainly something I adore about playing house or basement shows in the states. I could never give that up, those are some of my favorite shows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Which of your shows was the most memorable for you?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
There was a insane Get Bent show in Boston in a basement with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/witchesband?ref=ts"><b>Witches</b></a> (from georgia). That show was absolutely bonkers and I could never forget it. Our friend Spent was playing Jared's guitar with 40 oz. bottles while Jared went nuts as a frontman. It was crazy. There was also an epic basement show here on Long Island a few years back at the old Murder Shack. It was Iron Chic, RVIVR, Bridge & Tunnel, & Slingshot Dakota. There was something like 200 people packed in this basement, it was pretty incredible. Probably the biggest house show I've ever seen. Theres a picture in our LP from it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What's the scene like in New York and more generally throughout the U.S.? Any cool bands you think people should check out?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The scene is New York is great. There's so many different little scenes going on all over Long Island, through-out NYC/Brooklyn and upstate, NY. Long Island is where I'm from so thats what I know and I can say the scene im a part of here is thriving. These past fews years have been better than its been in quite some time. It's awesome. I encourage any cool bands to pass through Long Island when playing in NY. You won't regret it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What have you been listening lately? What are your favorite recent releases?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I feel like I hear an awesome new band, almost every day. But I've been jamming these new releases a lot lately: <a href="http://deadbrokerecords.com/store/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=FROZ-LP"><b>Frozen Teens- s/t LP</b></a>, <a href="http://summervacation.bandcamp.com/album/condition"><b>Summer Vacation- "Condition" LP</b></a>, <a href="http://jumpstartrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tightrope-walker"><b>Broadcaster- "Tightrope Walker" EP</b></a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/toysthatkill"><b>Toys That Kill- "Fambly 42" LP</b></a>, <a href="http://tommystinson.com/news/"><b>Tommy Stinson- "One Man Mutiny" L</b><b>P</b></a> and anything by <a href="http://tenement.bandcamp.com/"><b>Tenement</b></a>. The Future Virgins and Hidden Spots LPs have been on constant rotation since they were released too. And that will probably never change. ha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>If you could do a split with any band that's currently together, what band would it be?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
We (Crow Bait) are doing a split with <a href="http://huffstuffmagazine.bandcamp.com/"><b>Huff Stuff Magazine</b></a>. Thats my friend Barkers band and they are currently one of my favorites. I've probably played the tape at least 100 times. So im pretty pumped for that! They rule.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Could you please talk about your involvement with the DIY punk community, how you got involved in it and how it affects your lives (putting out your music, going on tours and playing shows, etc)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
DIY punk is my life. My life consists of playing in bands, doing the label, going on tour, etc. It's all I look forward to and it's really all that interests me. The world is a fucked up place and this is my escape from it, but also my contribution to it. I enjoy immersing myself in like-minded people who are passionate about the same things that I am. I got involved in punk in the same way that most other kids did... going to local shows and being inspired by the people around me. Some of the people that were the biggest influences & that really played an integral part of what I've decided to do with my life, are now some of my closest friends.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Do you think it's necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Absolutely. I have a very strong set of ethics and morals within punk rock. I do this because I love it and I will never do anything to demote value or honesty from it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What's your biggest gripe with the punk/hardcore scene?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Everything has it's flaws. I just try to steer clear of the things I can't get down with whether it be macho-ism, sexism, homophobia or any kind of hate or ignorance. That shit is wack and it does not belong within DIY punk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thanks for the interview Mike!; I hope it wasn't too painful! Any last words/wishes? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
No problem at all! This was actually probably the best questions in an interview I've been a part of. Good job!<br />
<br />
Last words: Start a label, start a band, write a zine, put on a show, give back to your punk scene. It's only what you make it.</div>

<b><i>Hey Tony! How are you doing?</i></b><br />

<br />

<br />
My name is Tony and I play guitar and sing in Prawn. Jamie plays drums and occasionally gives a yell here and there. Kyle plays bass and sings a bunch on our records but unfortunately doesn't sing as much at live shows. And then there is Andrew who plays guitar.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>As there isn't so much information or band biography on Prawn around, could you begin with a history of the band. What made you decide to form this band? Why did you choose the band name Prawn?</i></b><br />
<br />
Right. Prawn formed from other bands that dissolved throughout highschool. Andrew, Jamie, and I had been playing in and out of bands in highschool for a few years. Eventually it just made sense for the three of us to really try and pursue a steady band. I think the summer before all of us went away to university Kyle started playing bass for us. ( I knew Kyle through work) Prawn was pretty much defunct for that first year of school, as all of us were hundreds of miles away and pursuing other things. It just so happened that Jamie and I both dropped out of our respective schools, moved back home, and attended community college for a year. It was really during that year, so the fall of 2008 into the winter of 2009, that Prawn really became a band. Shortly thereafter, in March 2009, we recorded our first legit EP, False Institutions. The band name Prawn just kind of stuck with us from high school. Andrew came up with it one night. It originally began as a joke and we were going by Prawn Prostitutes. Eventually we dropped the Prostitutes and just went with Prawn.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>So on to the music. Could you describe the way Prawn sounds?</i></b><br />
<br />
I'm not exactly sure how Prawn sounds half the time. Most of the time we write songs, we also have an identity crisis. Sometimes songs or parts of songs come out sounding really like a certain genre ie - post rock, post hardcore, or emo. And then we go back to revamp the song during the writing process and write a part that doesn't exactly fit in the genre of that song. I know I personally I was worried that You Can Just Leave It All was going to turn out as a mix and mash of different genres of songs. However, I was pleased to hear that the album actually flows nicely and has a distinct feel to it. More generally though, I would say Prawn sounds like an indie/emo/post-rock band.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Your full-length debut “You Can Just Leave It All” came out a year ago. Are you happy with the overall response?</i></b><br />
<br />
Yes. I couldn't be more excited about the response. We worked really hard crafting those songs and the entire recording/mixing process took about five months. The response to our full length has been exponentially more enthusiastic that when False Institutions came out. There actually wasn't much of a response to False Institutions when it first came out. After touring a lot for a year and playing a slew of local shows, kids started picking up on False Institutions. With our full length, I felt like we had enough press and good publicity that we engaged a lot of new listeners and were finally able to "get out there." I'm extremely happy about everything regarding You Can Just Leave It All!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<b><i>How would you compare this album to prior releases for fans that have yet to check it out?</i></b><br />
<br />
You Can Just Leave It all is a lot more of an easy, happy listen than False Institutions. False Institutions actually turned out to be a really dark, eerie album. I know I personally tried writing happier songs, which really reflected the fact that I was happier in general when writing the full length. The songs are shorter and more structured than that of False Institutions. All the lyrics I wrote about on our first EP dealt with an end to a 5-6 year relationship and a death in the family. My lyrics in the LP deal more with happiness and sadness - being alive and all that comes with it, rather than focusing on a certain subject like death.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>"You Can Just Leave It All" is also your first release on Topshelf Records. How has it been working with the label so far? Do you think working with them has given you a lot more freedom than you might have had otherwise?</b></i><br />
<br />
<a href="http://topshelfrecords.org/"><b>Topshelf Records</b></a> is the best label out there in my opinion. Granted we've never worked with another label, Topshelf's attitude towards music and community is incredible. First off, they pick the best bands to work with. I know before we started working with Topshelf, I always was excited to see what new bands they were working with and what previous bands on the label were producing. They also support a slew of other bands that aren't on their label. Topshelf's last sampler had almost 70 different awesome bands on it. Another great thing about Topshelf is they don't stick to one genre. I mean you have bands like <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pianos-Become-The-Teeth/143317977380"><b>Piano's</b></a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/wewereskeletons"><b>We Were Skeletons</b></a>, while you also have bands like <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/bysurprise?ref=ts">By Surprise</a> </b>and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/agreatbigpileofleaves"><b>A Great Big Pile Of Leaves</b></a> all calling Topshelf their home. We literally have all the freedom in the world with Topshelf. It's more of a day to day approach than a long drawn out contract, which is extremely nice because all of us are in are young 20's and aren't really responsible enough to have it any other way haha.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><i>What other bands have you been involved in? And what inspired you to making a solo project?</i></b><br />
<br />
I was in a few different bands in high school like I said earlier. All those band weren't really serious, but they were nice just to get your feet wet with music making. I decided to do a solo album mainly because Prawn wasn't doing much. We all go to school away from each other and it's near impossible to practice on the weekdays and sometimes even weekends. I had a bunch of free time and started writing acoustic songs which eventually turned into full band songs. It was convenient too because I was able to record them all in my garage and then have a friend mix and master them, It was by far the easiest and most rewarding recording process I've experienced thus far.<br />

<br />
<b><i>So you guys finished up a bunch of tour dates in u.s.. How’d they go? Any interesting road/tour stories?</i></b><br />
<br />
There's a ton of tour stories I'd love to share, but they'd probably be more appropriate over a beer than on the internet. We've toured parts of the U.S. 3 times now. This last tour was by and large the most successful one we've had to date. Our first two tours were really tough. No one really knew us, we weren't getting paid, and we didn't really have any merch to sell. The first two tours were more about the experience of traveling and partying rather than the music. This last tour was more of a reality check that there could possibly be a future for Prawn other than playing to 5 people every night ( which honestly none of us mind).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Prawn euro/russia tour 2012! Is this your first venture to Europe, are you excited? what are you expecting/hoping to for?</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Woo! Yes, we are very very excited. I'm really excited to be going with Ape Up!, too. We just so happened to play a random show with them in Pittsburgh back in 2009. They are some of the nicest people in the scene now and are extremely talented. I know all of us are really excited to head to Europe. We've been working with Guillaume from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bfosbooking"><b>Back From Outer Space Bookings</b></a> whose been amazing. So far, everything is going swimmingly. I'm excited to see Europe by car and really get to know the culture, hopefully. I've been there a few times before but on vacation and not really traveling, ya know. I just hope its a successful tour, we have fun, and everyone comes home alive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>How is the Ridgewood scene? Any acts we've been unfortunately overlooking?</i></b><br />
<br />
The Ridgewood scene is insane. Growing up, Senses Fail was the big act to come out of Ridgewood. The lead singer has a little sister who actually was one of my best friends in high school. Since then, a slew of bands have come up and made on impact on the scene they're in. Titus Andronicus, Real Estate, and Big Troubles all used to/live around Ridgewood. I used to be really good friends with Ian from Big Troubles too. Then there is Zona Mexicana. Cameron and I went to high school together before he dropped out to tour with Ra Ra Riot. He left that band and started an incredible math rock band called Zona Mexicana. We've played a bunch of shows with them over the years, great dudes. I'm probably missing a lot of other Ridgewood bands, but there's also a big Bergen County scene. Hands on the Stereo are some of our good friends from Bergen County. A lot of our friends are starting bands now that are turning out to be pretty amazing.<br />

<b><i>If you could do a split with any band that's currently together, what band would it be?</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Oof, I don't know. Could you picture an Explosions in the Sky/Prawn split?<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Do you think it's necessary for independent musicians and bands to have a form of ethics?</i></b><br />
<br />
I think its important for every human to have a form of ethics, what those specific ethics are is up for debate. But I know personally, learning how to critically analyze situations and critically analyze what you believe in has helped me navigate through life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>What's your biggest gripe with the punk scene?</i></b><br />
<br />
Biggest gripe with the punk scene? I guess when success goes to a band's head. I've seen bands get a lot of buzz around their name and become successful, but then totally forget where they came from and what made them into such a like-able band. I guess that ticks me off the most because I personally view being in a band as something more than a means to an end. There's no big end goal for Prawn, rather we just enjoy the ride we are on together and the community we surround ourselves with.<br />

<b><i>What else does the future hold for Prawn?</i></b><br />
<br />
Who knows! Obviously the European tour is on our minds right now, but we've been working hard on new material over the last few months. We're actually almost ready to start demoing some songs in a few weeks. Hopefully we'll be releasing something,( a split, an EP, and LP, who knows) before the European tour. We're talking right now about either a US or Canadian tour after the Euro tour this summer. Jamie and I also graduate college in May, so I plan on taking him out on on the road with me and do some solo touring next fall.<br />

<b>Ten Speed Bicycle </b>are a loud, fast, midwest emo punk band. Residing in London, and i'm completely in love with this band. I hat e to use the comparison every time but if you like Algernon Cadwallader, Grown Ups and Cap n Jazz then you will love Ten Speed Bicycle.</div>

Well, two awesome EP's, one band, one place. This band is easily one of the best and most passionate bands making music today. I’ve never been dissapointed, not even slightly, by anything this band releases. Empire! Empire! consistently make the most sorrowful, remorse-ridden and fucking gnarly music i’ve ever heard, and these EP's is no exception.</div>

NONA are fucking awesome, people and as a band. Female fronted and her voice is really cool. If you haven't already heard of/listened to them, you're fucking up. it sounds so good. It kind of reminds me of Superchunk/Big Eyes and old Green Day. </div>

<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">How Do We Jump This High? - Funny/Not Funny</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 new songs of members of the short lived <b><a href="http://www.ifyoumakeit.com/album/get-bent/demo/">Get Bent</a> </b>(I'm so fucking miss these dudes!)<b> </b>and Frame, that play some amazing punk rock music. It ain’t nothing complicated but it is so full of energy and emotion and sick with personal revelations.<br />
Although <a href="http://www.ifyoumakeit.com/album/how-do-we-jump-this-high/deep-stationary/"><b>Deep Stationary</b></a> was pretty great, after listening to this more than a few times I think is their best release yet.<br />
I wish they never broke up. No matter how long I go without listening to How Do This Jump High, I can always come back to it and love every second.<br />
It's <strike>Funny</strike>/<u>Not Funny</u> record. It is all about being disappointed in oneself....<br />
<i>“I’m indicted for everything I gave up on”</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
If you liked the Get Bent or RVIVR/Iron Chic, you'll probably love this. Give it a shot. It isn't stale.<br />

<i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Los Campesinos - Hello Sadness</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></i><br />
Well, it's not punk/emo/etc record, just another great album from indie pop band called <i><b>Los Campesinos!</b></i> Here is a band that makes no mistakes, has a strong head for songwriting (if not innovation). Hello Sadness is a fucking great pop song: the guitars are a bit fuzzy, keeping the ambience and the riffs will make you want to pick a guitar up. The word “Sadness” is even present in the title but instead of boring us with hackneyed sentimental bullshit, the pains say things like <i>“I christen all the ships that sail on your little kisses' saliva trails. Goodbye courage, hello sadness again.” </i><br />

<i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rain Over Battle - These Rocks In Our Bodies</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<i><b>Rain Over Battle</b></i> is a Virginia Beach, VA (USA) based band whose time is on the rise. This band of guys is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Rain Over Battle has made their debut LP for free download. They play a great punk rock, sort of like The Riot Before, but with more Against Me/The Gaslight Anthem. I'm really proud of the work they have done. They're on another level; this release is only more proof.<br />
Just check these guys out, pretty good shit.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><i>""Our Better Halves" is the last song written by Latterman before they broke up back in 2007. It was to be released on their following album, but the band had split before working further on any material. It was recorded at Phil's house in May 2007 on Long Island. On this recording Pat played drums, Matt played bass and sang, Phil played guitar and sang and "maybe" Crozier played, but they don't remember. Gary played baritone and Matt played trumpet."</i></span><br />

It draws out all the heartache. When our ears break. We will scream out cheers to our better halves that next night won’t be the same. I’m still searching for an answer that never came. It feels like nothing’s changing. If nothing’s changing- can everything please be alright tonight? I hope there’s more before my heart stops beating. I’m sorry for all the things we fucked up, cross my fingers and cross my heart. So for now I’ll accept the haze, the laughs, and the heartbreak. I’ll welcome all my earaches. They resonate within the past years. Without them there is no one. There is nothing. but for a second I felt something then it was gone. It feels like nothing’s changing and I’m sick. Of feeling nothing. Yet I’m fucking proud of the things we held up. Cross my fingers and cross my heart.</span></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">We started at the very very end of 2008. I think our first practice might have actually been on New Years Eve. Jake, Eric, and myself have been playing bands with each other since we were in high school, </span><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">after a few of our old bands broke up we all kind of went and did other things but Jake and I ended up together again and just wanted to play pretty straight forward pop punk. We got Alex to play drums and our friend Harris played guitar with us. Then Harris went on to start his band Sundials, and we immediately thought to get Eric to join and it's been the four of us ever since. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The name was just on a list of random names I made while we were desperately trying think of a band name. I remember showing the list to everyone and all the names got vetoed and then a week or two later Hold Tight! came up again and this time it clicked. I guess it doesn't really mean anything specifically if I'm gonna be honest...</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Basically both those songs just came from boredom. Every time I write a song a make a demo on garageband first using fake drums. So this summer we were on tour and on some long drive I got really bored and decided to take all the guitars out of the demo for Power Converter and just put some crazy synths and dance beats on it instead. It got a few laughs so when I had some down time in the studio while we were recording those splits I made another "remix" for $122.50. Alex got really stoked on them and threw them up on our bandcamp. We pretty much just did it as a joke so it was pretty cool that a few people actually enjoyed them. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well I have about nine songs totally written and demoed out for a new full length and a few more in the works. I'm sure Jake and Eric have some songs they are working on too. We haven't started learning them all together as a band yet and putting everyones little touches on things but I'm sure we will start real soon. I think the plan is to have a new full length recorded and hopefully coming out by the summer. We also have a four way split with <a href="http://timeshares.bandcamp.com/"><b>Timeshares</b></a>, <a href="http://thegreatexplainer.bandcamp.com/"><b>The Great Explainer</b></a>, and <a href="http://gorydell.bandcamp.com/"><b>Go Rydell</b></a> in the works too. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well so far they are definitely still pretty straight forward pop punk, but I think we really want to try and branch out from just playing as fast as we can all the time. The new songs are definitely slower but still pretty short and still very energetic. I can only speak for myself but so far I've only written one song for the full length that breaks the two minute mark so we definitely aren't starting to write these crazy experimental epics or anything. The biggest difference from our previous stuff is definitely the tempo being slowed down, that and the new songs are better!</span></span></div>

I write a lot of ideas down in a notebook throughout the day and then later I sit down and try to hammer something out that's catchy but still makes sense. That's kind of where things get tricky; sometimes its hard to get a message or idea across and still make a decent sounding melody. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As far as influences go I always liked when bands can take any subject, whether its personal or political or whatever, and make seem down to earth and relatable in some way. I think that's kind of what we go for, and we sort of make an effort to lean a little more towards the positive side of things. We want to write music that brings people together in some way. I know when I write its very cathartic and it's a good way to get negative things off my chest, but I always like to have a least a little hope in there. </span></span></div>

I think it's going to be released as Hold Tight!/Direct Hit! but both our bands are playing straight up hardcore on it. We still aren't really sure why it's happening, but why not? We ended up with 11 hardcore songs in about 10 minutes. We're going to play a few shows where we just play the hardcore songs under the name Tight Hold!, so it's sort of our hardcore alter ego. Maybe if people like it a whole lot we'll do something else with it. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My favorite part of touring outside of the general awesomeness of playing music in a different city every day with my best friends, would probably be meeting so many new people.

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I guess the way I try to handle the rigors or tour is to just take it one day at a time and enjoy it as much as possible instead of getting too worked up about any little thing. I can be pretty susceptible to a case of the tour grumps so I just make sure I remember how lucky I am to get to do something so fun and just do my best to let anything else roll off my back. That, and I try not to over do it on the gas station snacks... That part is pretty tough...</span></span></div>

Death To False Hope were some of the first people to ever really have any interest in our band whatsoever and they have been so great about making our music available to people. Matt at Animal Style is pretty much the guy who makes our dreams come true. Can't Take This Away coming out on Animal Style was the first time any of us have had our music put on vinyl by a label and it has been really exciting and everything we could have hoped for. We actually met Matt in person for the first time at Fest and he is just as great in the flesh as he is over the phone. We definitely would have been able to do half the fun stuff we've done without DTFH and Animal Style.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Without getting too involved and writing you an essay, I guess I got into diy punk when I was 15 or 16 and started going to shows where I lived in Northern Virginia. I don't think any of us really knew that we were all part of a little diy punk scene because we were still just getting into setting up our own shows and starting our own bands and putting out our own crappy demos out all as part of a little community and we didn't really know that term to us to describe it. Then after I moved to Richmond its basically the same kind of thing just on a bigger scale. All of us have been involved with booking shows, having shows at our houses, and obviously being in bands and putting out music, so it's a pretty huge part of our lives. In fact since most of us just work shitty jobs and don't have any kind of career, punk is probably a bigger part of our lives than anything else. It's definitely a really special thing to know there is a big group of people that share your interests and way of life, at least more than in the regular 'non-punk' world. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">I definitely think independent musicians having some kind of ethics is important. I think that part of the reason people get into punk and independent music as a whole is because its hopefully some kind sort rejection of social norms and I think that should include rejecting the status quo's version of ethics. I think if you are getting into punk you probably already are thinking outside of those limitations and have some desire for change and thats part of what makes punk seem so attractive in the first place. I'm not saying that every punk band needs to be singing about sexism or homophobia or whatever kind of oppression, but that shit really has no place within punk rock. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well Richmond sort of has it's ups and downs and right now its in kind of a down. There are usually a lot of house shows or warehouse shows and things like that but there is a city government initiative that basically seeks out spots like that and shuts them down for stupid tax and zoning reasons. That has kind of slowed things down. Richmond has a pretty strong pop punk scene and a pretty strong hardcore scene and a pretty strong weird indie scene but none of those scenes really mingle as much as they could, or should, but all those different scenes have been effected by all these show spots being shut down. So it's a little bit less active right now but I'm sure that won't last. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As far as the U.S. in general, I suppose it just depends where you are. We've played shows in cities that are supposed to have these great punk scenes and the show was sort of weak and then there have been times we've played in some small middle of nowhere town and the kids were all super stoked and it was a really great show. So really it just depends on where you are. </span></span></div>

I guess in the realistic category I would have to say Spraynard. We talk about doing a split sometimes so maybe if I say something about it in this interview they will have no choice but to do it. As far as if I'm just dreaming I'd probably have to go with Green Day. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I guess just a lack of inclusiveness. Sometimes it seems like there is a big set of rules for how you have to be before you can be a part of this little world and I think thats pretty fucked up. Seems like sometimes we forget that we weren't all born punk rockers or anything like that and just because someone doesn't go to a billion shows a week or wear the right band shirts or whatever doesn't mean they don't deserve a chance. Also the way we sometimes start to think that just because punk exists outside of the mainstream that that means it's this perfect little world and we don't have any of the problems of the 'real world'. Because we do, they are just buried a little deeper. I think that can make it harder to address fucked up things when they happen, because no one really wants to think these bad things still exist within punk/hardcore. But overall I think we're doing alright!</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey folks! Well, new mixtape #7! There are also slight differences between the six other mixtapes.... it will be not free as always! <b><u>100% of your donation goes to the direct care and support of the animals!!</u></b> <i><u>(http://priyut-drug.ru/).</u> </i>It's always good to donate to a non-profit organization. It really makes you feel good to know that your $ will help somewhere in the foundation.<b> </b>Sadly they don’t have homes of their own or people to pamper them. Maybe you could do something to help make them a little happier. Most shelters running on a limited budget, and rely heavily on donations. Helping may not be as hard as you think.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's actually your choice. You can choose to donate 1$ or more or if you can't spare a few bucks in change, you don't have to, just listen online. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Feel free to contact your local shelters. Your local shelter will be more than happy to let you know what they need. It takes very little to make a difference in the lives of animals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Feel free if you like it, please re-blog and/or share with your friends. </div>

<b>Hey there! how are you doing? How's West Chester?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey Vanya. What's up. I'm great. West Chester is great. Beautiful time of year here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Right then, first things first, please introduce yourselves and members of the band:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok. Well I'm Mimi, and I sing and play the guitar in NONA. Our bass player is named Ed. And we got a Pat on the drums. Pat sings a little too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So, tell me how NONA originally came together? And how did the name come about and what does it mean?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ah, the story of NONA. NONA originally came together in the spring of 2009. Pat expressed interest in starting a band with Ed and I, with me on guitar/vocals, and that was cool cause I always wanted to sing and play guitar in a band. So we got together and wrote some songs and played 2 shows then it fell apart before summer came around. We got it started again in Winter 2011, but Pat started to get pretty busy with his other band (spraynard). So then we got our friend Sean to play drums and we recorded the demo with him and played shows throughout the spring/summer. Took a little break but now we are back in action with Pat back on the drums. Classic NONA. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nona Mecklenberg is a character on the 90's television show Pete & Pete. She is a really cool girl. Pat came up with the idea of calling ourselves Nona after her. We started writing it in caps cause it looks cooler. NONA </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What does NONA mean to you?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It means a lot to me. I love being in a band with Ed and Pat. They are my friends. I have a lot of fun with them. NONA means friends and fun. It's everything i've ever wanted out of a band. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I love your demo! Are you happy with it? Is it what you intended it to be?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah, totally happy with it! It's far from perfect but that's what demos are all about. It was super fun to record. Some of the most memorable few days/nights of my life. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah! We've been writing new songs. We have only recorded two of them but we will hopefully be playing them all on our east coast tour at the end of October. We re-recorded 4 of the 5 demo songs and a new song for a tape that our friend Zach from Boston is putting out. It will be our first official release. NONA RELOADED. It's on our bandcamp....NOW! And yeah we recorded another brand new song that's not going on the tape, but it will be out on something sometime. It sounds REALLY awesome. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was actually Spraynard who covered Basket Case, but they had me sing on it. Green day is Pat and I's favorite band. So it was really fun to sing that with them. That was an awesome show. Spraynard played a set of Green Day covers, and NONA did some very last minute Third Eye Blind covers. Good times. DOIN CRYSTAL METH WILL LIFT U UP UNTIL U BREAK</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to have at least one cover down really well at some point. I would love to cover J.A.R. by Green Day. Or just any good song that was popular at one point or another that people know the words to. Covers are only fun if everyone is able to sing a long. </div>

<b> If you could do a split with any band that's currently together, what band would it be?</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this New Jersey band called <a href="http://bigsodamusic.bandcamp.com/"><b>Big Soda</b></a>. They don't know who I am but I am seriously a Big Soda superfan so It would be way cool to do a split with them. Or The Lemonheads, cause then i'd get to meet Evan Dando <3 <3. Or No Age. Or Pinhead Gunpowder. Or Fugazi duh</div>

<b>What are your thoughts on the current state of the punk/hardcore scene? How do you react to the increased coverage and notoriety that many of the artists - including yourselves - are receiving from the press, fans, etc.?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pat and I were just talking today about how punk fans are the most unforgiving music fans. It's essentially a really good thing. A punk band can be so incredibly popular, but the minute they say or do something that throws people off, something offensive or uncomfortable, something that may make their fans think "hm maybe this band isn't so cool after all", they become extremely at risk of losing a majority of their following. And most of the time do end up losing a majority of their following. It's not like that in other genres of music. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A band's character is definitely just as important to me as their music. That seems to be the case for a lot of people who are into punk/hardcore. We are critical of a band's actions just as much as we are their music. I think that helps make the scene a more special and safer place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second question is hard. Coverage and notoriety is always cool. I like seeing my friends' bands talked about on the internet and in magazines. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The West Chester scene is looking pretty good, Vanya. Pretty damn good. Spraynard is famous. Plow United is back together. Matt works at Fennario. But on the real, we have been pretty determined the past few years to get West Chester to be recognized as having a solid music scene/ hang out scene. And we are slowly seeing it happen. Bands on tour are starting to seek out shows in West Chester and there are now several spaces where we can book them. West Chester rules and we have fun all the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our good friend and West Chester native John and his music thing called<b> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nzjynkwxxyz">Failed Attempts At Facial Hair</a></b> is always deserving of attention. He is the greatest songwriter in the world. Blows my mind. Ed is soon putting out a FAAFH 7" that will feature some full-band songs as well as acoustic. Look out for it. Also, the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theskincells"><b>Slin Cells</b></a>. No introduction or description is needed for this band. </div>

Me and Ed saw Our Idiot Brother a few weeks ago. It was so great.I am a huge Paul Rudd fan. And going to the movies is so awesome. Especially in the early afternoon on a weekday. Why not. That was a great day, wasn't it Ed? I'm also super into this new Philadelphia band called <a href="http://scarierarea.bandcamp.com/"><b>Scarier Area</b></a>. Nick is in it and Nick wins the best guy in Philly award. <b><a href="http://laughitoff.bandcamp.com/">Laugh It Off</a> </b> is another new Philly band that i'm very excited about.

<b>What's your biggest gripe with the punk/hardcore scene?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a lot of criticisms you can make about the current punk and hardcore scene. There will always be things that we can be doing better. Like making sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. I definitely have a gripe with elitist bands that put people down and single them out for wearing a non-punk band t-shirt at their show. That kind of stuff makes me uncomfortable, even being an outsider. I can't imagine what a victim of something like that must feel like. No one should ever take pride in ruining someone's day. But I tend to think positively about everything. There are a lot of incredible bands and people involved in punk right now that are really pushing it forward. I think it's important to keep that in mind, and focus on continuing in that direction. In general, I think we're all doing a decent job at being good people. If we weren't, none of us would be here.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LIKE THIS QUESTION!!!!!!!!! My favorite season is definitely summer, but October is probably my favorite month. Once October is over I start to hate life until April. So I guess you could say I'm an early-autumn person for sure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so there is an apple orchard right behind my neighborhood. So I always pick apples this time of year. Apples are great. I'm putting bananas on the back-burner for the next few weeks and apples are gonna take the place of my number 1 fruit. Just for now, though. I'm also planning on reading a lot this autumn. I had such an awesome day yesterday. I went to the book store and got a new book and then went to Everhart Park, best park in WC, and read for a while. Lol!!!! Reading is funny but i'm into it right now. Pat and I joined a book club last night. Well Pat reluctantly joined, but still. Autumn 2011 = reading and apples. We're also going on tour with <a href="http://ihatecynics.tumblr.com/"><b>Great Cynics</b></a> at the end October. That should make this Autumn an Autumn to never forget.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dividers are a great punk band out of Swansea, UK. Their sound are very Get Bent/Yo Man Go influenced, though they maintain a degree of originality to their sound. If you haven't already heard of/listened to Dividers, you're fucking up. <b><a href="http://dividers.bandcamp.com/releases">DIVIDERS/TEN SPEED BICYCLE CLUB SPLIT</a> </b>and <b><a href="http://dividers.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2010">DIVIDERS - DEMO 2010</a>.</b> Download/Donate and enjoy! This shit sounds so goddamn good.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hopefully they do another 7" or DEBUT ALBUM or maybe split with another sweet band in the near future.</span><br />

<b>Hey Gavin! how are you? how's Wales?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very well thanks dude! Wales is great too, bar the shitty weather, but I guess that's something to be expected really</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Right then, first things first, please introduce yourselves and members of the band to our readers.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Umm, well I play guitar and shout a lot, Zach plays bass and also shouts a lot, Scotty plays guitar and shouts on at least one occasion, and Gaz plays drums and just stays quiet for a large majority of the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When did Dividers start and how did it begin? Why did you choose the band name Dividers?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me and Zach thought it would be cool to start a band that sounded like The Ramones. We'd both been in bands that had split up, or weren't up to much and we just needed to do something to pass the time. We asked Scott to join, and he knew this guy Gaz from a past band he was in and soon after we were in my living room writing songs. It all came together pretty quickly, really. We ended up sounding nothing like the Ramones, but I figure it was for the best really. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could lie and say that the name Dividers is a reference to the social divide within the "scene" we're in, but the reality is we just thought it was a cool name.</div>

It means I can do something positive with my best friends and visit places I'd never have seen, and make friends I never would have known. It's great. It's also a cool way to vent my frustration at certain topics of everyday life. </div>

<b>Can you briefly summarise what the band has been up to since the release of your Split with Ten Speed Bicycle?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We just did a two week tour of the uk, but other than that we've been pretty quiet really. It's a bit difficult because both Gaz in Zach have University commitments that definitely restrict what we can and can't do. I mean, Gaz is studying in Liverpool University which is a bit too far away from Swansea to practice, really. </div>

<b>Could you please talk about your involvement with the DIY punk community, how you got involved in it and how it affects your lives (putting out your music, going on tours and playing shows, etc)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I come from a village that is basically in the middle of nowhere, and despite wanting to be in a band since I was in high school, there was hardly anyone who was in to the same thing as me which made it a bit difficult to follow through with it. Eventually I got older and started going to shows, and finally started meeting people who were in to the same thing. Eventually I started putting on shows with a few friends. Probably because I still didn't know anyone who wanted to be in a band with me, and putting on DIY shows seemed like the next best thing to being in a band. Now I play in a band, and the people I met through putting on shows were the first people to help out, and return the favor for my band. These people I now consider to be friends. I mean, I've got people hundreds of miles away that I consider to be friends, something I never thought would happen while I was in high school. I guess that's the best thing about being involved in the DIY punk community. It's cool to go somewhere far away for home, and be welcomed with open arms.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What is your take on the current state of the punk/diy scene locally in Swansea and nationally within Wales?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Swansea is pretty great. There's a small handful of people who put loads and loads of effort in to keeping the scene alive, and into putting on shows. I mean, pretty much monthly there's something great going on in Swansea. A Skatepark has just opened, which apparently is going to have a screen-printing shop located in it which is cool too. There's just a really cool vibe in Swansea, which was one of the main reasons I originally moved there. Apparently Trev from Swansea Collective is going to stop putting on shows soon, which will be devastating if he does, but I'm fairly certain someone else will step up to the mark and put on shows instead, at least I hope they do anyways! I guess we'll just wait and see. South Wales as a whole has so many great bands coming from it. The Arteries, Harbour, Bedford Falls, 33, Facel Vega, Saturdays Kids, Pipedream, Forrest... I could go on forever! It's a pretty cool place to be living right now.</div>

The new Caves<b> </b>record is seriously great. Like seriously! Since Minty's joined the band they've been going from strength to strength! The record is filled to the rim with hooks, and the boy / girl vocals are to die for! I don't think I can say enough good things about it! Other than that, Bangers totally exceeded my expectations with "Small Pleasures" too, and the new How Do We Jump This High? 7 inch has been in constant rotation in my house at the moment. Crow Bait's demo is really good as well... </div>

<b>What's your biggest gripe with the punk/hardcore scene?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes the whole punk scene reminds me of being in secondary school, like it's one big fucking popularity contest, which is the last thing you'd expect from a "punk" scene. For a scene that prides itself on positivity it seems at times that there's so much backstabbing and bullshit. But then, I think for every one elitist douuchebag there are about 5 nice genuine people who are not in it for cool or punk points, but because they feel a sense of worth, and feel like they belong. I just wish that all people would treat others kindly and not like lesser just because it's "cool" to act that way..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>With the emergence of the internet, bands and ideas seem to be more assessable; speaking from my own experience I've had the opportunity to interview bands from U.S., Canada, France, Germany etc. over the past six months thanks in part to the internet. It also seems that almost every band has a facebook/myspace/bandcamp or something page. What is your opinion on the effect of the internet on the punk rock scene?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the internet is a very powerful thing. I doubt that without the internet Dividers would even exist, let alone would anyone have heard us! We wouldn't have listened to the bands we listen to, wouldn't have played with the bands we've played with... hell we probably wouldn't even know each other. I very much doubt I'd be doing this interview with you now if it wasn't for the internet too! So I guess the internet has had nothing but a positive impact on the punk scene, really!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What are the upcoming plans of the band?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're probably going to write some new songs, and hopefully do an album or a lengthy EP at some point. We're submitting two tracks for this Samiam tribute series thing too, but other than that, we're just going to be playing the odd show here and there, nothing big though! We don't really plan things in advance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thanks for doing this interview Gavin! And finally, is there anything else that you want people to know, that you want the readers to know.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think everyone in the world should listen to Pipedream from Cardiff, South Wales. They're possibly my favorite South Wales band at the moment. If you dig Jawbreaker and realmo you'll be all over that shit!<br />
