You didn´t play together for a while, what happened, and why did you start to
play again?
-We broke up from too much touring and too much trying to kill each other. But
after a year of being broke up we played a record release show for Live and
Uncensored and it was a lot of fun, so we decided to play a few more shows, we
went off to SXSW to play a showcase, soon after that we went out for a short
tour. During that tour we where approached by Relapse and a new record deal was
in place so we where back in full force!

-Mark works construction
Donny works security
Jeff works at a print shop
Chris is a program designer

What drives you to play music?
-A love for playing, it's my art, it's what I've always done. Also I hate to work
for other people so playing to make money and working for myself is great, I
feel fulfilled.

How would you describe your music in three words?
-Fastest, Hardest, Rock

What does punk mean to you, is it only a word or is it a lifestyle?
-I don't know, we aren't really punk we are just rock someone a long time ago put
us in the punk category. I think rock is a lifestyle and punk is closer to what
I see as a rock lifestyle and what I believe the first rock musicians where
trying to achieve. But with bands like Green Day that proclaim to be punk I don't
want to be punk. I think they are Mcpunk or punk on a stick. I like rock and
roll! Not pop bullshit!

Many people compare you to Motörhead among other bands, which is the most odd
comparison you ever have heard?
-Nirvana, the film Kurt and Courtny said we were influenced by Nirvana and that
we played with them! So UNtrue.

If you´re forced to be compared to a band which band would have been nicest
to be compared to?
-You said earlier Motorhead but also the Ramones or the Dwarves.

Do you care about reviews? Do you trust the good or the bad ones most?
-I don't know? They are just opinions and opinions are like assholes everybody's
got one but they are never the same! So they are not to be trusted unless you
trust the writer's asshole !

Have you ever been angry after you have read a bad review?
-Yes but there really is no reason to be. I have only seen like 2 bad reviews
anyway, but you know if you like pop or whatever maybe you don't like Zeke so
that person will give a bad review!

Which is the most peculiar review you ever have got?
-West Seattle acid party comes replete with acid flashbacks not like I haven't
heard this style before. Our very first Seattle mag review.

Have you ever changed anything in your music after a review?
-FUCK NO!

Do you have good contact with your fans? In which way?
-I try to meet and talk to everyone. Sometimes in the beginning people didn't get
the sarcasm or me flipping the bird but through the years people got the
message. Let's have a good time, fuck everything else! So now we go places and
the whole crowd flips me off and when I don't do enough they complain!!

How is a good gig with Zeke?
-Complete out of control mayhem, with circle pits, stage diving and people
singing along!

You have been to Sweden and played, which are your brightest memories from
that?
-We played the Hultsfred festival this summer, it was raining and I thought no
one would come to check out our stage I think it was number 3 or 4 but the place
was full of people screaming for their favorite song and going nuts it was very
fun! I also remember one time we played in Stockholm and we hooked up with Johan
and Dregen from Backyard Babies and after the show we went drinking and Johan
got us kicked out of every pub we went to!

What do you know about Sweden, what is typical Swedish?
-Ikea

Have you heard any good Swedish bands?
-Yes many, we just played with the Hives here in the States, the Hellacopters,
Backyard Babies, the Nomads, Puffball, Dozer, there are so many a can't name
them all!

Many Swedish people have died in Thailand in the Tsunamicatastroph , how have
the reports from those areas was in your homecountry?
-Yes, I feel sorry for the whole thing. We have joined with some other bands who
will put out a compilation record and give the proceeds to the relief fund!

Can you imagine to play on some sort of aidthing fro such a thing or shall
bands keep out from politics?
-I don't think human disaster is politics, but I do stay out of politics

What do you think about the thing that many bands did against Bush?(Rock
against Bush)
-I think it's a great idea but I don't like many of the bands who played on that,
it's not punk it's pop ( of course that's my asshole)

Can music change people life? If you think so give me an example?
-Sure if you're sad it can make you forget your troubles and be happy, if you're
happy it can prolong the party, it can bring people together to help one
another, you don't even need to speak the same language. I'm sure the Beatles
have changed the lives of all people even if they are unaware, just by changing
the face of music itself.

You´re on Relapse now, howcome? That´s not your kind of label or?
-What do you mean? They put out extreme music and we are extreme, probably the
most extreme band around!
