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.
> are there many other drum/bass groups on the east coast you guys enjoy? There are a few sick ones. Dirt eyes from Buffalo rule. They are super good stoner stuff. dirteyes.bandcamp.com Bible thumper from New Brunswick NJ is some sweet dbeat http://biblethumper.bandcamp.com/ Happy birthday from Lima OH they are from the Midwest And have 2 bassist but there are on of my favorites right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76pSec0uKUs
> what are your plans as a band for the future? We have a lot of stuff coming up. We have a Midwest tour at the beginning of may. We are bringing out friend from France along with us. We are also recording for 5 new records in April. We have splits with Witch cult from the UK http://witchcultpv.bandcamp.com/ Anthophobic from Pittsburgh Ultra negative from Massachusetts Also we have a tape coming out with our friend from from joining us for the upcoming tour. And working on a 7in with diseased audio from Chicago. Once we get everything out we will be doing a bunch more touring as well.
> can you reccommend any unsigned bands you feel need more recognition? +hirs+ - 2 piece drum machine grind that is so tight and loud and everything about this band rules. Go check them out all of there stuff is on the Internet for free. On the last tour there set was the best of the whole tour. Super nice dudes and they are just killing it.
> Thanks again for the interview guys! hope you come out west soon!
We deff want to head to the west coast at some point maybe next year
My first experience of the Weekend Nachos was when i was 14 years old and had just picked up This Comp Kills Fascists vol. 1.When i had finished listening to their four tracks on the comp (which were just remixed versions of their debut 7') i had felt the true anger of the singer of the group and without a doubt was a fan.Over the last few years,I've watched WN mature and become an entity of brutal negative hardcore.On their latest output "Worthless",it seems the nachos have produced some the most aggressive and angry songs of their whole run as a band.I was extremely nervous to ask john for an interview,due to how i interpreted him through his singing,but he was one of the nicest guys i've ever interviewed.Without further adieu,the 36th chamber of thrash interview with John Hoffman of the weekend nachos.-Chris
36th:Hey John,thanks for the interview! How did the nachos east coast tour go?
John Hoffman:The tour was fantastic, dude, we had a blast.
This was easily one of the best tours we've ever had...things seem to
get better every time, which is a great sign. I'm hoping the west coast
is just as great in april.
36th:How was the A389 Festival for you? see any memorable performances?
The
A389 fest was a highlight of the tour, for sure. When we played,
somehow everybody was in there watching us and getting into it, which I
wasn't sure was going to happen or not. When we were about to start and I
looked out into the crowd, I instantly had this feeling that it was
gonna be one of our greatest sets ever, and that ended up being exactly
the case. Pulling Teeth, Full of Hell and Homewrecker also had really
great sets..those were probably the ones that I enjoyed the most all
day. Sadly, we missed Eyehategod because I was very sick and we ended up
leaving early due to my illness. I just couldn't handle being at the
show anymore, I felt like complete garbage.
36th:How and when did WN come to form?
WN
formed sometime in 2004. All 4 of us were living in Dekalb, Illinois,
which is a college town way out in the cornfields and was also home to
Chicago legends Charles Bronson and The Mushuganas. Just a bunch of
bored students that also had brutality and rage coursing through their
veins, combined with a shared musical talent. Which is ironic because I
truly believe we were not very good in the early days...in fact, I think
we really sucked. But those early days were very important because if
we hadn't stuck it out, we never would've made it this far. There were a
lot of factors that could've killed the band very quickly back
then...mainly horrible live shows and an almost non-existent fan base.
Everybody hated us. For whatever reason though, we thought we were doing
something awesome and almost 8 years later, I'd like to think we were
right.
36th:What reaction did the chicago music scene have to you guys when you first started?
Coincidentally,
I'm pretty sure I just answered that. People really did not like
Weekend Nachos at first...we were obnoxious. The focus was more on
breaking shit and insulting audience members than playing good music or
raging hard, although I do think we raged pretty fucking hard
regardless. But people weren't really down with the whole
schtick...honestly, at my age now I don't think I would've been either.
When I go to see a band, I like for them to be funny but if they're not
any good, I'm not interested. Over time, we got a lot better at playing
live and started to turn some heads. We also grew up a little, which
definitely helped, haha.
36th:What are some of your infulences as a band?
We
really bring a lot of influences to the table, I think. All of us
listen to all kinds of music, but when it comes to the songs we write
for WN, it's a lot of metal and hardcore. Lots of classic metal bands
like Eyehategod, Carcass, Obituary, Terrorizer, Earth, Corrupted, both
slow and fast but all heavy shit. Hardcore like Infest, Youth of Today,
Bastard, Madball, Merauder, Hatebreed, you know, some of the crustier
stuff and also some of the tough guy stuff. If you think you can hear
any certain influence when you listen to WN, chances are you're correct.
36th:You're lyrics are very angry,yet some of the most sincere ive ever read.What are some of your infulences when you write lyrics?
Aside
from my own negative thoughts that I can't ignore, I think vocalists
like Jeff G. from Cold As Life and White Trash Rob from Blood For Blood
influenced me to really dig deep and find the most hateful feelings I
could express. Sometimes when you're reading lyrics and you're trying to
find bands to relate to, you have to find the most honest and
unapologetic vocalists to inspire you. I don't try to write about what
they write about or anything, but until I listened to those bands I
don't know if I ever even knew a person had the ability to express such
hatred through music. It really made me confident that I, too, could be
that honest with how I feel about myself and the world.
36th:How did you guys come to be signed by Deep 6?
Well,
it's more of a friendship/trust relationship, I'd say. There are no
contracts involved, I just knew Bob would probably be down to release
our albums and one day I just asked him. He instantly was down to do it,
and honestly I kinda thought he would be, just because we had played
California a bunch of times and he was always at the shows. I'm proud to
work with such a friendly, supportive dude who has been involved in
hardcore for so long.
36th:How did you get onto this comp kills fascists vol.1? Your tracks on that comp really helped me at a low point in my life.
I'm
happy to hear that, it makes me feel good when someone can relate.
Thanks, dude. As for getting on the comp, Scott Hull of Pig
Destroyer/Agoraphobic Nosebleed fame was already a fan of WN and he hit
me up one day. He said he was putting together a compilation of
lesser-known grindcore/powerviolence bands and really wanted WN to be a
part of it. I thought to myself "Why not?", it seemed like a pretty
good-natured idea. Scott Hull's a cool dude, he's in a huge grind band
but is also knowledgeable in unknown hardcore and punk. I can appreciate
that!
36th:Your lyrics are very real and
relateable for alot of people.do you ever get approached by fans who
have changed their life or been helped by you're lyrics?
More and more every tour, man. At first it was just few and far between,
but now it seems like every show on tour 1 or more kids come up to me
and say something along those lines. It makes me unbelievably stoked to
know that something I wrote actually helped someone in any way. It
strengthens every reason I already had for doing what I do. It's one of
the greatest feelings I've ever had.
36th:I noticed you guys changed the song Scars into Unholy Victory.why did you decide to change it?
I
liked the song a lot and decided to re-use the music, there's not
really any better explanation than that, haha. I figured instead of just
re-recording the song with the same lyrics, I could add new lyrics and
create a whole new version. It's the only time I'll ever do that,
probably. I don't want people accusing us of cheating when we release
new shit.
36th:What are your plans as a band for the future?
We
just wanna keep doing what we're doing. It seems like every year, more
and more people support us and talk about our records, which is an
awesome feeling. I think we all agree that we're just gonna keep going
and see if we can do more with it. 2012 is a really busy year for us,
we've got a lot of touring in the works, as well as a few new records.
36th:and finally,What is the story behind your bandname? it is one of the most unique and righteous names ive ever come across.
Haha,
I'm glad you feel that way...I think it's a pretty great band name too.
Initially, the whole intention was to just throw everybody off. I
guess in 2012, people are still confused by it. That's fine, I just
want to teach people not to rely on image to express themselves. If
you've got something to say, say it. But don't expect to just slap a bad
ass band name on the front of a record and expect people to be
impressed. Music and art in general should be a lot more challenging
than that.
New Archagathus.Out on To Live A Lie records.fucking righteous album on all fronts.all the tracks on this are just ripping canadian mince at its finest.From "Mincecore Fabio" to "Sexy Grinder" to "Hey Metallica!",only one of the songs on this are longer than 1:30,that being only the 2:30 closer. the upgraded prodiction really shines the distortion of live archagathus.overall i give it a 5/5.18 songs in 25 minutes. guest vocals on some songs by seb of dahmer!

I reviewed Six Brew Bantha's excellent split w/ Archagathus not too long ago and decided to take it upon myself to get an interview from the hateful grinders.when i emailed them about it,they were more than happy to be interviewed and even offered me hard drugs! we discussed victoria BC,Archagathus,No comment and even salvia.enjoy:)
36th: When and why did Sixbrewbantha form?
Mark: Hi Chris, sixbrewbantha started with Tyler and I learning our
instruments together in my parents basement sometime in 2004 or 5 i
think... we were in high school and made short bursts of noise and would
scream and smash things after a few years we learned to play somewhat
and became aware of extreme music. (Hearing downsided by no comment
being quite a definitive moment for the three of us.) We began playing
local shows and with the help of other bands and the birth of black
raven records a very healthy scene has been developing here in Victoria.
As for why we exist I'm not sure, why do we do anything?
36th: What is the story behind your band name?
Mark: When we began we were a 2 piece and Tyler wanted to call
the band six brews and i wanted to call it dead bantha, we combined the 2
names and decided to roll with it until we came up with something
better. This name was formulated a long time ago.
36th: What subject matter do you cover in your songs?
Mark:We cover a variety of shit in our songs from Current
events, to philosophical questions to self evident facts. I feel
Bryan's lyrics tap into world issues with an open mind and does a good
job of exposing things for what they really are behind the candy
coating. I'm sure Bryan could elaborate much more. My lyrics tend to
touch on the subject of the self mentality that contributes to the
structure of the world and society around us which i feel is the root of
everything, ourselves.
36th: What reception has the victoria scene given you?
Mark: Victoria is a wonderful place to live, it has it's
flaws (excessive security and police force for instance) but it's
gorgeous and home to me, the scene as i mentioned has been very good to
us and we wish to bring as many touring d.i.y. bands through as we can.
since the opening of black raven records (record store/label/promotion)
the scene has expanded and got out to a lot of people and I am very
thankful for everything
Wolf and Danni have done. (including helping put
out our records.)
36th: How'd you hook up the split with archagathus?
Mark: The archx split first came up the second time we
played arson fest in Winnipeg with archagathus on our way home from our
cross Canada tour. had a wicked night smashing down beers and somewhere
the idea for the split was suggested and we acted on it a few months
later, cheers Dan / bachelor weekend!
36th: What are some of your infulence's?
Mark: We listen to lots of different music definitly been
influenced greatly by no less, man is the bastard, assuck, discordance
axis, gasp, crossed out, excruciating terror, napalm death, plutocracy,
carcass, no comment, humangreed, final exit, enemy soil, shitfit and a
huge array of noisecore.
36th: What are some of your favorite unsigned or local bands?
Mark: Some current d.i.y. bands i've been fiending lately
are shooting spree (really check these guys out, INSANE live) soil of
ignorance, iskra, obacha, pizzahifive, cooked and eaten, tu sufres,
archagathus, wolbachia, violent gorge and all of Winnipeg really, no
eulogy (reece toye you smoke too much pot) death toll 80k, goner,
agitate, Lt.dan, total hipster crusher, godstomper, sidetracked,
hummingbird of death, powercup, sakatat, osk, the afternoon gentlemen,
massgrave, mind as prison, camphora monobromata, g.o.d., parliamentarisk
sodomi, cokskar, cloud rat, the oily menace, ethical drinking, worlds,
rape revenge and a
fuckload of others.
36th: What are your plans as a group for the future?
Mark: Currently we have
our upcoming LP at the plant and are booking a 2 month u.s. tour stoked
as shit to grind with many kill, kill, kill bands. Guess we will be
getting drunk with you in L.A. bring some salvia to smoke!
Backslider is Philidelphia's finest in fastcore.established in 2009,they've quickly become a mainstay in the east coast grindcore scene.With only two members Patrick on Drums and Logan on Vocals/Guitar,they are an exciting live act.they just finished recording their new 7" "Maladapted" on to live a lie and are about to embark on a west coast tour.i was definently stoked to interview these guys.enjoy!
-chris
36th:hows the recording for your new 7" on to live a lie coming?
Patrick:
recording is done! we recorded with Kevin Bernsten at Developing
Nations in Baltimore. I think it's definitely our best stuff and best
sounding.
Logan: Recording with Kevin was a really great experience,
definitely the least tumultuous session we've done. He's into alot of
the same shit as us, so we had several points of reference that made for
easy communication.
36th: how did you come to be signed by to live a lie?
Patrick:
Ha. I wouldn't say we were "signed", but Will has been a friend for a
while now. Iv'e worked on other stuff with him and he said he was down.
Logan: Don't forget the blood pact.
36th: how did backslider come to form?
Patrick:
I knew Logan before he moved to Philly. My band I Hate This, who Logan
would play in later when he moved out here, did a split 7" with his band
Raw Sewage. I was jamming with some other dudes, and Logan suggested we
try and start something. He had a bunch of stuff written already. We
started jamming here and there after the other project would practice,
and it just took off from there.
Logan: I was a big fan of I Hate This long before Pat and I
even met, we had corresponded quite a bit before I moved to Philly so
it seemed natural to start jamming. We started practicing in the summer
of 2008, and our demo came out in the winter of 2009.
36th: how did the PA music scene recieve you when you first started?
Patrick:
Good I guess? We just kind of hit the ground running regardless of what
people were doing. We were both in I Hate This and playing a U.S. tour
in 09 and we hopped on after only being a band a few months. Kind of
ambitious looking back, but it worked out for the best.
Logan: Our first show was with In Disgust, Nothing is
Over, and Chainsaw to the Face so we were in good company. At the time,
there wasn't much of a scene for this kind of shit but there are alot
more people and bands involved now.
36th: What are some of your infulences as a band?
Patrick:
Logan is the lyric writer so he can tell you more I think. For me I
think there are obvious band influences but its more of an aggression
outlet. Stupid people, everyday aggression are main influences. Also,
being able to play with lots of other awesome bands and travel.
Logan: Musically- lots of 80s hardcore (early Boston and
NY shit), 90s sludge and powerviolence, some 70s rock and old death
metal...whatever we're listening to at the time we're writing, really.
Lyrically- things I read about in the newspaper, some
medical/psychological ailments, particularly annoying people or
relationships in my life, some political/sociological issues.
36th: i love the fact you guys are just guitar drums and vocals.have you ever tried playing with a bassist?
Patrick:
Actually, we did ha! Lets say it didn't go to well. We juggled the idea
early on. In the end I think its best we are a 2 piece. We are both
pretty committed and know what we want to accomplish and do. Being a 2
piece unit simplifies that. Sometimes we will inevitably bump heads with
no third party around, but its bound to happen. I also think having
only a guitar and drums forces us, and challenges us to write a certain
way, which is good.
Logan: Ultimately, he was just too lazy to put forth the
necessary effort. Everyone wants to be in a band, but nobody wants to be
in a band, you know.
36th: what are your plans as a band for the future?
Patrick: Well, the "Maladapted" 7inch will be out soon on
To Live A Lie here, and Psychocontrol Records in Europe. We have a short
West Coast tour coming up soon. In May we are playing Maryland
Deathfest, then in July we are doing a European tour with The Afternoon
Gentlemen, to Play Fast or Don't Fest. Big thanks to Smith and the Gents
for booking that for us. In the middle of all this we are slowing
piecing together a 10" for Six Weeks, playing a bunch of other random
shows and planning other records and a million comps that will never
come out.
Logan: We have some sick local shows lined-up, playing
with Negative Approach, Catheter, Laughing Dog, Nasum, Dropdead. After
the 10" we're doing a split 5" with Roskopp (CO), then after that...who
knows. Wait for the aliens to return I guess.
"Idiot Hymns " off of Maladapted 7" on To Live A Lie
36th: who are some of your favorite PV/fastcore bands just coming out?
Patrick:
I dont know if these all fall under that genre... but DOC, Mind as
Prison, Triac, Nimbus Terrifix, Scaphe off the top of my head.
Logan: Scaphe, Fuzzkill, Cokskar, DOC, Mind as Prison,
Triac, Amputee, Nothing is Over, Congenital Death, No Thought, Human
Waste, Lie Still, PHF, and No Qualms are all holding it down for the bad
guys. Pat is in a new band called Callous that are sick, kind of like a
cross between Su19b and Melvins, or early Nirvana. I'm also in Gash and
Attitude Era. Check out Ilsa from DC for the low-end destruction!
36th: thanks for the interview dude! cant wait to see ya at the spot in LA!
Patrick: Thank you. Yea, will be a banger.
Logan: Shit's gonna pop off, I heard Kat Von D. will be in attendance.
Triac is a maryland based grindcore band who've been playing in the extreme music circuit for over 10 years.They've released two albums,a split and were a main highlight included in Scott Hull's masterpiece compilation This Comp Kills Fascists Vol.2.still going in 2012,the band has become a three piece,signed to Forcefield and are working on a new split with DOC.this shit is raw heavy and fast.definently check it out.
36:how and when did TRIAC form?
JAKE: That is a good question. Possibly 2003 or 4 or 5, but the band has really evolved in so many ways and has almost folded many times before stabilizing as it has recently. It has changed a ton over the years but it has always been fulfilling and fun the whole time with the goal of at first just putting out fast music. As the new people joined, things got faster, and different personnel made it less death metal influenced and it got slowly more primitive and now I think it is far more interesting personally because its just music for mongoloids, but it has always been fun. If we didn’t enjoy the process we wouldn’t still be crawling into the practice space every week.
CHADD: I personally like to say we started in 2007. We had just lost an original member and the writing shifted. Jake and I wanted our sound on the more punk side of grindcore as opposed to the more death/grind sound that was going on prior to that. That's when we started writing songs that would be on "The Blue Room" e.p.
To me, that's when TRIAC formed.
how did the baltimore music scene treat you guys when you first started?
JAKE: I think at the time there was just a good crew of bands that were very supportive of each other. There weren't tons of bands but the bands that were active were very into being out there for the other bands. We were received well i suppose but I think it was regarded as “Those triac dudes are doing that and its cool” but there other bands doing different things and the different bands were like fingers on a hand. It all composed a general scene as opposed to us really jumping out as being particularly bad ass because that was not the case.
Where do you draw infulences from?
JAKE: We draw from so many sources and force it all into what we do. Triac is like a big smelly jambalaya made up of a large amount of fast grind or thrashy bands like 324, Assuck, Mortalized and Cryptic Slaughter; classic punk bands like Black Flag, Bad Brains, The Dicks, and The Stooges. Then there is a big part of it that comes from noise rock bands like Unsane, Cherubs, The Jesus Lizard. as well as bands like Godflesh and Slowworm. Weird rhythmic rock stuff really creates a great vibe with our sound too. With all of that slopped together I generally regard Triac as just a fast traditional punk band. The goal is to make it ugly and driving forward with little regard for doing it “correctly” as long as the energy is present.
What subject matter do you cover in your songs?
CHADD: . Kevin and I very recently took over on vocals, so there are only a handful of new songs that we've written lyrics for.
They range from being fairly abstract to pretty straight forward. We'll get inspired by movies, books, things we see going on around the world and around us.
"Tick" is about how crazy I think all religions are.
"Engine Kopf" is an anti-bullying song about how at some point those people being bullied may lose all hope and pull a Columbine like massacre and how you can't really blame them.
"Hellbreaker" is about the huge amount of people overdosing on heroin and oxycoden and the like as of late. Over the past Summer there were quite a few friends and acquaintances of ours in Baltimore who died from them as well as all over.
how did you guys get on "this comp kills facists vol.2" ?
JAKE: It was very basic. We’ve known Scott for years and have played shows with him and he just sent me an text asking if we wanted to do the comp. Even though the cultural context is so different from when the old now iconic comps came out, thanks to the Internet changing how people encounter new music, it seemed like a laudable effort on his behalf and we sent some tracks. Wam bam thank you Scott.
how was the a389 fest?see any great performances?
JAKE: The fest was really solid. A389 attracts a good blend of people and the fest turned out really well for us. I think a good chunk of people saw us for the first time and hopefully dug it. The fest functioned far smoother than I thought it would thanks to Dom’s planning and it was an all around good time. I like hot dogs and fast music so it worked out well for me. Weekend Nachos was a highlight because they were such a honed machine that knows exactly what they are doing and it was good to see a band just walk on stage and casually bulldoze a packed room of flannel shirts.
what are youre plans as a band for the future?
JAKE: We’ve got a split lp with DOC that RSR is putting out. We need to write some tunes for a split with Amputee and are talking about splits with a few other bands we dig and are pals with. Other than that we’ll do what has become the norm over the past few years which is just keep our heads down, play loud music on huge gear and use our chipotle app when we go out of town.
what are some of your favorite up and coming grindcore groups?
JAKE: As far as current groups, we really dig and want to support the bands we have played with and gotten along with really well that rip like DOC, Backslider, Amputee, Callous, Mind As Prison, Defeatist, Lie Still, etc... I’m sure there are a few bands that I should mention that we have really dug playing with but as far as other cool grind bands I’m currently digging The Kill, P.L.F., Sete-Star-Sept, Psudoku and Parlamentarisk Sodomi, Gride, Low Threat Profile, Shitstorm, Noisear, Sulaco and a ton more.
