I love J. Randalls grindcore karaoke records.so much good,free and unique music comes from it.When i found water torture's excellent 2011 self titled masterpiece,i was on the labels very enthralling bandcamp.What makes me really notice water torture is not only the blistering speed, nor the crushing and cold bass tone,but the sheer anger of the music.They don't sound as if they're trying to replicate a sound or emulate some 90's PV band,they sound genuinely angry.It sounds fresh.Bass and Drum powerviolence is an easy thing to make noisy and shitty.many stop short of bad godstomper imitation.water torture is definently far beyond that.i was very curious to get a chance to converse with the gentlemen behind the dissonance.i got in contact with the Buffalo,NY grinders and asked some questions about the band and their beginings.
> How did you guys come to form?
Moezes and I have been in bands together for 3 or 4 years now and we wanted to start a band that was just the 2 of us. We also wanted to have a band that would be able to go on tour.
> Under what circumstances did J. Randall (Agoraphobic Nosebleed) come to sign you guys to his label Grindcore Kareoke?
He got ahold of our other band Inerds and asked if we would be cool with putting our music up on his website for free download. From there he has put up our other bands as well. So when we were working on water torture he told him about it and he put it up on the site. He has been a huge help for us.

> What is the powerviolence/grindcore scene in buffalo NY like?
Not really that big. There are a few really sick fast bands like gas chamber,resist control,human touch. But all in all the buffalo scene is sweet there are a lot of venues and lots of sweet bands of all different genres.
> what was your first receptions from the buffalo music community?
Everyone in buffalo already knows moezes and I we have had band within the scene for awhile now. All of our bands have the same kinda feel to them so everyone kinda knew what was coming. There is always
shows happening so we deff always have sweet shows we get asked to play.
