IRON LUNG INTERVIEW

 Iron lung are one of those bands few others can match nor get close to.they label themselves powerviolence while their sound has very little characteristics in common with first wave powerviolence other than speed and frantic start/stop nuances.this interview made me extremely nervous to send in based on i've never seen or read an interview with the men behind the chaos.when i sent these questions to iron lung records,i was surprised by how friendly and open their drummer,Jensen Ward,was to questions and such.what you are about to read was our conversations of life,iron lung and death.

-how long have you been playing drums for?when did you first start playing?
I bought a pair of drumsticks in 1996 and beat the fuck out of my steering wheel trying to learn every fill and nuance of Rudimentary Peni's "Death Church". I used to drive my mom to school in the mountains and I'd have to wait for hours. It snowed a lot up there so skateboarding was out. Gotta do something, man.


-how did you and Jon Kortland meet?
He worked as a paralegal at the lawyer's office I was using for my trial defence. I thought he looked like an interesting person and he was always listening to Steely Dan very quietly so I knew he liked to rock. We talked a lot while I was in the waiting room and got to be really good friends. Then he told me he played guitar in a punk band.

-how did Iron Lung come to form?
Jon's band Gob was looking for a fill in drummer so I joined up for a couple shows. We really clicked. The bass player in Gob was a real nut so we cut her loose and started up a Dune tribute band for fun. The singer of that band was a real nut so we cut him loose too. Then there was only two...

-where did the name originate from?
We both like antique medical practices and gear so what better poster child for that interest is there besides an IRON LUNG? That's a trick question, there isn't.

-what influences,as a lyricist,do you draw from?
I listen to a lot of Weird Al.

-you guys have been alot of different places,where are some of your favorite places to play throughout the world?
In alphabetical order by continent: Asia, Australia, Europe, North America.

-how did you contact Nick Blinko for the artwork on the cover of sexless/no sex?
I will not tell anyone that secret. He is a sensitive man and doesn't like to be bothered. I'm glad he is feeling better.

-i love your many different collaborations with bands like Hatred Surge,David Bailey,Pig Heart Transplant and your other band Walls.Is it hard to collaborate with other bands?what is your process of writing when with other bands?
All of the people we pick to play with are the best at what they do so writing and arranging is easy. We all show up to the sessions with ideas. We try a few different combinations of ideas and see what we can do. It usually works out nicely.

-how did Iron Lung Records come about?
Lords Of Light were one of the best live bands we have ever had the pleasure to play with. They did their 2nd recording session and ended up with the song "Dividing Up" left over. It was way too good to just let go so we had them go into the studio again and record a b-side and made a great (and completely misunderstood) single out of it. To this day that is one of my favorite releases.

-what are some of your favorite groups on the label?
All of them. We only put out stuff we like.

-what are your  plans for the future as a band?
Eventually, probably on the "White Glove Test" world tour, we will hit some black ice in Sweden and decapitate ourselves. Then the understudies will continue on in our place for at least another 25 years. It never ends...

-finally,what are some unsigned groups in the powerviolence circuit that have caught your attention?
Porch Trash, Pillcrusher, The Death, Sarin Gas X and Human Meat are just a couple of the bands we are looking at right now. We don't want to give away too much more than that right now for fear that they will get scooped up before we can afford their demands. Damn you Relapse Records!!!

-thank you for the interview and all the sweet recordings,mr.ward.
You're welcome. Stop by any time.

God's America/Human Junk-Split 7"

This split is some of the strongest music released this year.Human Junk is a ravaging UK speedviolence group and their 7 tracks are fucking quick and furious.Not one song on their side of the split is longer than a minute.definently one of my favorite bands to emerge from the UK. God's America is a Las Vegas native powerviolence band of the heaviest variety.the sheer intensity of the songs is where the intensity comes.definently one of my favorite splits of the year.

GRIPE INTERVIEW

 I first found gripe through a blog,whose name i can't remember now.It linked too their demo The Future Dosen't Need You and i was immediately pleased with what i heard.blasting,buzzsaw guitars,snarling vocals talking of killing cops and such.i immediately began following the group as they've become bigger and bigger in the grindcore circuit.they released pig servant in oct 2011 and it became very popular at the blog grindcore karaoke and was put out by DIY noise and sold out in a  matter of days of being released.their newest split with Diseksa,Indefinite Detention,is tight as fuck and sold out quickly.Pig servant is being repressed now as well as the excellent split with Chulo from DIY NOISE rex. I interviewed brandon and dj about the band,their infulences and the politics behind their noise.

38th Chamber Of Thrash: How did gripe come to form?






Brandon: Gripe formed out of boredom and necessity in Athens GA some time in very late 2010. Dj and me were playing in our d beat band wolf charge. But we really wanted to play faster at the time. Tom had just moved to Athens from MI and did not have many friends and wanted to be in a punk band. Wolfcharge was on its last leg Dj and myself had no plans other than to start the fastest band in Athens. Tom and me started jamming at the local charity music space called Nucis. It sort of went from there. Bu6t thats just Athens we dont play ATl as much as we should really.
    

DJ:like brandon said it was after wolfcharge, we always knew we where destined to be in the worlds fastest band but needed to kill time until we met tom, i remember we would argue with our old drummer (in wolfcharge) so much brandon said"we should just call our next band gripe"

36th: what reaction did you garner from the Atlanta music circuit as you started?
 Brandon: Positive actually for the most part. We pretty much let it be known that we would play with anyone, anywhere, and anytime under  any circumstance. We just showed no fear and no pretension I think that went a long way with people.We started with every intention of full on alienating eveyone so it was cool to see kids just be like fuck yes! We formed  an odd couple  alliance with a local pop punk band called The Fuzzlers and started wrecking houses.  American Cheese Burger was still around for a lil bit when we just started as well. I think were just happy to see another fast pissed band in Athens so we got to play some cool shows with those guys before they broke up as well. We have had allot of fun.
Dj:we played one of our first shows in atl and as soon as we got done playing people wanted merch, we where like what? this is our second show. we still have no idea whats going on!


36th: what is some good grindcore from Georgia?
 Brandon: In a word Grinchfinger! Also God's Balls are pretty insane as well.
 Dj: Grinchfinger

36th: under what conditions was 'The Future Dosen't Need You' recorded?

Brandon: The Future Doesnt Need You was kinda neat because we really kind of did not know what we were doing at the time and I think it kind of shows. haha The dudes who recorded it Joel and Mike(who fucking rule) kind of walked us through it because it was the first time Dj and me had ever done anything that could be considered a "real" recording but Joel and Mike had never done a grind recording before so we were all figuring it out as we went along.. I was using a Busted ass Laney head 50 watt pro tube at the time it had been  dropped literally like 3 times at house shows going into the recording that same week and already sounded like shit in the best way possible of course. It was just feeding back uncontrollable in the "studio"  so they had to throw a ton of compression on it to try to make it sound close to  a "real" guitar sound. haha Dj did everything in one take.Refused to do any do overs. Partially because  He was extremely hung over and dehydrated but I also think its because he felt good about it. Tom was a pro and was an old hand at recording really. But I think we were all shocked at how well it came out overall. Dare I say even proud haha. When I first hear it I remember thinking this is going to be un listenable to most people and I kind of got a kick out of that. Ya know I like a kind of either you get it or you fucking don't kind of thing.  Of course the on line reaction  also came as a complete shock it seemed very unlikely and kind of surreal. haha We were not even able to tour because of finances but people were still finding our music and responding to it. Now I go back and listen to it and the recording  just sounds so weird and out of phase or something, but still incredible pissed haha I came up with the title because I was reading an article on Ray Kurzwell and futurism. It just struck me weird, the whole thing was about immortality and nano bot technology. So I was just like here human's are  arrogant as ever  using robots to cure fucking cancer and shit but on the other hand as a species we are still just as ugly, dumb and barbaric as ever in how we treat each other. So I came up with the title just sort of playing off the age old fear of technology evolving faster than man and eventually replacing him.

Dj: well on my part i was still pretty drunk from the night before and pissed i had to wake up early, thats why my vocals sound like shit. but the guys are fucking amazing (joel and mike) and just let us do our thing. i wanted to do all my parts in one take just like a live show. in repeating yourself  you lose intensity

what are some of your main infulences when writing lyrics?
Dj: robots, booze and pure fucking hatred for humanity

Brandon: I would say Dystopia for starters. I help out with the lyric writing process. I dont know I will just be doing my shitty job or in class doing a shitty assignment and I just sort of daydream up grind song titles. I have been doing this since I was  a kid so it is sort of second nature really. I like our lyrics allot I feel like Jordan (our current singer) does a great job.I think right now in the world of grind and pv it's all about riffs and compositions  and lyrics are an after thought really. I don't like that, We as a band don't like that. We still think what a band says is important once again, another outdated notion our band subscribes to. Jordan bust's his ass and works real hard and I think he says what he means and I think he draws from a wide variety of punk and even some black metal because religion is a pet peeve topic of his. DJ is pure nihilism.

how did you come into contact with diseksa?
Dj:that's all brandon
Brandon: Diseksa rule and they are just a rugged ass band who's always down for a split. They actually found us because I think a part of their thing is just seeking out the grossest sounding grind they can find  and cranking out quality splits relentlessly. So they actually contacted us. I met the drummer of the band Seluar Jeans Koyak online and he was a really nice super down to earth dude and we started talking about the idea of doing a split and it sort of went from there. I think they first heard us through the Operation Grindcore vol 1 comp(one of the best underground comp releases of last year) I love the SE Asia grind scene right now for my money one of the best active grind scenes in the world! Kids over there are all about anything fast, dirty, and blasty. Also I just feel like they are coming from a more sincere place musically than some of the bands in the good ol US of A. Where it is always scene this and scene that where everybody is competing with each other in the worse ways possible be it to get on the "right" label or just trying to make a name for their selves. They just dont come across like that in certain other parts of the world. So in a way there is just a more fuck you attitude to it and allot of bands we like come out of Asia.

where did the inspiration to call the split "indefinite detention" come from?
 Brandon: There was recently an extremely fascist law passed by our government and it kind of went under the radar in mainstream media but for the most part it allows people to be arrested or detained if you will  under "terrorist" charges without a fair trial and for an indefinite amount of time the law is written and constructed vaguely. This is intentionally so that the powers that be can dictate what qualifies as terrorism at any given point to suit their own interest.. I thought it would make a good album title apart from just not only being relevant but also because it catches your ear. I mean the law itself when spoken sounds creep, vague and threatening and I feel like it is designed that way. Also there is a tradition of grindcore and punk rock/hardcore songs addressing and calling out fascism for what it really is when they see it occur. But I feel like people have gradually gotten away from that maybe its to old fashioned or maybe its just apathy.I don't know.  But anyway to me that has always been a  big part of the roots of grindcore music it has direct ties to crust punk and the early anarcho punk movement and it has of course evolved into many different things and its own genre, but it  was originally a sort of  kill all extremity used as a vehicle for rebellion and  to capture the sounds of oppression and human suffering and  there is not a more capable genre of music than grindcore, crust and allot of the early fastcore that inspired it, for doing this in my opinion. I dunno I mean I like records like Misery Index and FETO just the way the lyrics add to the atmosphere, where lyrically they are coming from this sort of dark reality sort of place if not a reality than something that could easily become your reality. They always sounded like prophets of doom to me and it always had a sort of crushing desperation to it.  I guess Just trying to channel that  in our own way really.

I love the Man vs. Cop split w/ Chulo you just recently released,how did you guys come into contact with
those guys?

Dj: Thats also all Brandon.

Brandon: I heard Chulo on GK a while back. I was really into them it was a sort of blown out lo fi kind of sound that was real bass and groove heavy. I dig that kind of sound its always so painful when bands can do that right. Water Torture is another band right now who comes to mind. But yeah Sebastian the guitar player of Chulo was aware of us I guess and he contacted me on line and we started nerding out on grind and crust and pv and all this shit we were into.He runs a blog that covers South American punk rock and hard core so I was finding out about all these awesome bands and one day he pitched the idea of doing a split on floppy disk since you could fit literally only 1 minute of music on a floppy disk as a grind band we were capable of doing a two song single kind of thing and I thought it was genius! I told every one else and the fellas were just like naw he must mean flexi and I was like floppy no shit! haha I think its funny cause physical formats are such a dying animal. Its just like okay people just download music and put it on their ipods anyway if they get a tape or vinyl they regard as a sort of a "collector" item now anyway. But I just like the idea which was all Chulo! Oscar their  vocalist hooked up the art work and it came out sick. The Man Vs Cop floppy disk split release is one of the coolest things I think we have done as a band so far.

What are your plans for the future as a band?
Brandon: Just keep writing music. Still trying to capture that sense of urgency like the first time you hear Minor Threat or Scum when u are a kid. I want to write something that floors me like that. I liked The future and I liked Pig Servant even more I feel like our next record is gonna be even better hopefully, if not  go back to the drawing board. Dont want to repeat myself or regress. So yeah I think this is going to be our first official full length and expect dual vocals or maybe even three vocalist this time out who knows?


Finally,What are your top 5 anti police songs?
Dj:   acab, fuck the police,officer down, 911 is a joke, anything by r kelley
Brandon: ACAB, Fuck the police, cop killer, Police story, and revenge. Gotta have at least two black flag songs in there.

WATER TORTURE INTERVIEW

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.





 WATER TORTURE LIVE VIDEO

> 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?

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.

Weekend Nachos-Interview

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.

36th:thank you for the interview!

Anytime, bro. Thank you for hitting me up.

Archagathus-Canadian Horse review.

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!
