“…we’ve all got plenty of ideas of our own, but we haven’t even really shared them with each other, we’ve just booked all time and said let’s just get into a studio for the next couple of months, we’ll come out and do these Barnesy gigs and just keep going back to the studio and keep working on new shit […]

“…it’s hard for a band like us who you know what you’re going to get when you get an Unearth record, but we kind of wanted to change that, we took it so extreme and we upped the technical level so much that I think it’s gonna make some noise and people are going to be forced to talk about […]

“For twenty years we’ve been dodging bullets and somehow consistently making music, then you think maybe all artists who have lasted time are Bulletproof Picasso’s at some point…” On their promo tour of Australia we were lucky to sit down with Pat Monahan and Jimmy Stafford of Train for our first video interview to discuss the band’s new album ‘Bulletproof […]

“I’ve been continually blown away but not only how much fun I have but by how much the fans enjoy it, and I really feel like I’ve gotten better at it over the years because like having done all the shows I’ve done to where the sets are really now these emotional trips over maybe over an hour and half […]

“There’s something quite magic when you go out there and you live for the moment, in the studio everything is for eternity and you start thinking in those terms because I better be careful what I put down on this album because I have to live with it forever and ever, where with the live show it’s just for now, […]

“Yeah, this is it man, people who are fans of the band and see we’re playing or haven’t seen us yet, or want to see us for the last time, this tour is definitely one to attend.” From Bio: From the schizophrenic opening cut, the sarcasm-dripping, sound effect-laden “Hail to his Majesty” to the thrash-punk riffs and booming bass reverberations […]

“I feel like we have kind of this new beginning in a way, I feel like the band is closer than we’ve ever been, I also feel that one of the biggest things why I also love being in my band is that we can be who we are without having to worry about anything.” From release: New Found Glory […]

“Not that we’ve died and gone and came back but we feel that we’ve put a lot of what we used to be and things that we weren’t fond of and our mistakes of the past, we just buried them and let them die and came back as the new entity that we are now…” From release: Motionless In White […]

“…we’re just a good time rock and roll band so we come along and bring the noise and bring big riffs and big shows and stuff like that so we’re just all about having a good time and having fun, so we’ll come on stage and get everyone involved, get everyone’s hands clapping, having a drink and just having a […]

“I would say if there’s anything that I can give away about the new stuff is that it’s a lot more raw and a lot less polished than our older stuff, we just kind of have decided to step away from the over produced thing as much as we can this time around and just sort of make it as […]

“…it’s been a roller coaster that’s for sure, it’s evolved into a business machine that’s really kept up with the times, managed to stay relevant, managed to mostly put out good music, you can’t always hit a home run, but we’ve always put out the music we believe is right and pertinent to the times…” From Bio: The shadow of […]

“This time around we were able to breathe and enjoy as we now knew what each other’s personalities were like and we now knew what the sound and style and direction of the music was because we had already established that. So I think this time we were able to just relax and let everyone breathe a little more.” From […]

“In the past we had a producer or someone involved that was able to tell us “That’s great” or “That’s awful.” After 12 months of working on something you can get it in your own head and have no center on what is good. In the end it brought us together into something bigger and better.” From tour release: Atlanta […]

“Well the stars definitely had to align for this to happen the way it did and some of it is mysterious to me and poetically so, because none of us imagined that we would do this again and I don’t think any of us had harboured any secret hopes that it might happen.” From Tour Release: Finally! The news Veruca […]

“So to take that much time off and come back and it’s like wow, I can’t believe people are so excited to see us, we didn’t even know how things would be, we have no idea what to expect, so it’s kind of like the unknown leaving us now knowing how to feel yet until we get there and get […]

“…when we first started playing festivals, we almost found it more natural to us than some of the smaller venues because our form of music is so upbeat and has a lot of audience participation, so when you actually get a big crowd into it, it’s kind of a magnified effect, so we never had troubles with it in the […]

“…definitely we can come up with some surprises, but we definitely go through the history of the band, you know we’re coming back around the time we’re about to turn thirty as a band, so we’ve been trying to play a little bit of everything, a bit of the whole history of the band.” From release: It was the city […]

“…So going back to what I said about me being the captain of the ship is that I wouldn’t let that record become public consumption if I didn’t feel that it stood up to anything that we’ve done, the best of what we’ve done and here we are… The Ocean At The End…” From release: Canadian purveyors of rock THE TEA […]

“…that’s my favourite tour or festival show or whatever you want to call it, in the entire world, man. When we played there literally man that’s a story I’m going to tell my grandchildren is when we played Soundwave, it’s my proudest moment of being a musician…” From Bio: Most recent album, ‘Ungrateful’ was a rebirth of ESCAPE THE FATE […]

“…it’s kind of an overload of everything as we’ve always tried to make our music over the top and really fast and got all of this guitar stuff going on and these big layers in the chorus of choirs and all the crap like that.” From Bio: It’s astonishing to realise that DragonForce now have a history going back 15 […]

“Yeah, it was that was by design, a lot of my fans always sight my ’78 solo record as their favourite Ace record, so I listened to it several times and purposely tried to write songs that were similar.” How do I sum up Ace Frehley? Yeah exactly… I’m dumbfounded too, but when you get to speak to a legend, […]

“I feel very lucky that I’m in a band that next year will be our ten years from when we first started kicking about at school and I don’t think many people around us would’ve envisioned that ten years later, but also putting out records that are getting to number one.” From Release: YOU ME AT SIX are hailed as leaders […]

“…we’re ready for anything that comes and I think the hardest part is that there was never a big scene in Japan, there wasn’t a lot of people that listened to a Japanese band that only sang in English, so there was a little bit of those kind of bumps but I think everything we’ve done over the years has […]

“…it’s funny having a guy like Brian in the band and a lyricist like that, I’m just like anybody that listens to Gaslight at home when I hear these lyrics you know? So I rarely even ever ask Brian where it’s coming from because I start to think about where I think it’s coming from and the way that the […]

“…at the end of the day I think music should be played and written and sung without the thought of a genre or a title, it should be played, written and sung from your heart and just enjoyed from your heart rather than pigeon holed.” From Release: Whatever gives Aussie music its heart, Adam Brand breathes plenty of life into its soul. […]

“…when you get a little momentum in this business you want to keep it rolling and we’ve got enough momentum each time to get our foot in the door and now that our foot’s in the door we want to kick the damn thing open and burst into the next stage…” From release: Led by the inimitable duo of guitarist Rich […]

“…and it may throw some people for a loop because you’ve got the guys that are pure metal, they want to see metal, then you’ve got the guys that want to see punk rock, then you’ve got the guys that are into doom or whatever *laughs* and I think we’ve always tried to grab a little bit of all of […]

“…we’ve always tried to improve and push and get better over our forty years, we’ve obviously matured and improved as individuals and as a band as well, and I think trying to do things differently, but we’ve never been afraid to try anything you know…” From release: There are only a select number of bands that have accomplished what Judas […]

“…when our name is brought up and in the conversation of music and this genre and this decade, if it’s just remember as good dudes and the guys that put music out that they loved and it felt real and it felt honest, if those were the words that were used to describe us and our career, that to me […]

“…we just kind of told ourselves that we’re going to do this with or without a label, so we kind of stopped caring about getting signed. Then when it happened and we saw the amount of power that it had and to have this team of people and capital behind you, it just fanned that flame that’s always been inside […]
