Brian sat down for a chat with the illustrious Brendan Kelly of The Falcon. The Chicago-based project includes members of Rise Against, The Lawrence Arms and Alkaline Trio. They just released their first EP, titled God Don't Make No Trash or Up Your Ass With Broken Glass on Red Scare.
Big D And The Kids Table have just released a new CD How It Goes and are currently touring with Ska legends Mustard Plug and the Voodoo Glow Skulls, amongst others, as part of the epic Ska Is Dead tour. During this time, Sean P Rogan and Dave McWane, the guitarist and singer respectively, took some time out to answer some questions about the new album, about the old albums, and about the Red Sox.
I sat down with Jason Cruz of Strung Out recently so he could tackle your tough, tricky questions and take on the third degree tactfully, void of strained alliteration for your reading pleasure.
It's been over a year since we last last spoke with Blood Brothers co-screamer Jordan Blilie, but he was kind enough today to take some time off to conduct an interview with us and talk of topics ranging from the writing process for Crimes to Clear Channel and hibernation activities this coming winter, amongst other exciting endeavors and situations alike.
Mike Molnar has provided us with his second interview; this time with Marc from A-F Records' Thought Riot. The band has released two records via the label, 2002's Shattered Mirror Syndrome, and Sketches of Undying Will last year.
The phrase "I dunno, man, I'm just the bass player," came up an ungodly number of times in the first five minutes of my interview with Jimmy Eat World bassist Rick Burch. Fortunately, over the next 45 minutes, Burch let his guard down and discussed a wide variety of topics with us, from the band's new album, Futures, to the ever-important "pirates or ninjas?" Interview by Scott, interjections by Megan.
Jimmy Eat World's new album, Futures, will be in stores this Tuesday, October 19 via Interscope Records. It is quite good.
Dillinger Escape Plan released what I felt was one of this years strongest musical achievements. Miss Machine. was a progressive, accessible and uniquely post-modern take on aggressive music.
I had a chance to spend a few moments discussing the record, the band and their future with bassist Liam Wilson,
Mike Molnar sent us an interview he did with Russ Rankin of Good Riddance and Only Crime. Russ talks a bit about the state of Good Riddance and the future for Only Crime, which includes Aaron Dalbec (Bane/Converge), Zach and Doni Blair (Hagfish/Gwar), and Bill Stevenson (Black Flag/Descendents.)
The band released their debut To The Nines [review], this summer through Fat Wreck Chords.
Gatsbys American Dream bassist Kirk Huffman was kind enough to answer some questions for us we were itching like lice to ask him. Yeah, it was that bad.
Gatsbys' Fearless debut is aiming to drop some time next spring.
Brian recently had the opportunity to sit down with Tsunami Bomb frontwoman Agent M, bassist Matt and drummer Gabe for an in-depth chat about why their new album was delayed, their thoughts on Dominic and if they've ever pulled a "Lawrence Arms," among other noteworthy topics.
Tsunami Bomb's new album, The Definitive Act, comes out September 21st via Kung Fu Records. It's quite good. Go buy it.
I'm a bit of an ass. A reader asked me if we'd like to publish his interview with the Bouncing Souls (of course I said yes) and after he spent the time transcribing and formatting it for us I ever so gracefully forgot to post it for months on end. Sorry about that James. So without much further adieu here's a chat with Mr. Greg Attonito in a Chicago ice cream parlor from this past April.
