Please tell me a little bit history of the
group?
-We started in LA as an acoustic duo.
Please tell me a little about every member in
the group right now, age, family, work,
interests and something bad about everyone?
Earlier bands? Other bands on the side?
-Sean plays bass he is old I don’t know how old,
he’s actually a guitar player. He’s a
mansplanner he plays in a country band called CB
Brand that I used to play in too. I’m the middle
child, I worked as a chef and an actor in LA,
I’m pretty bitchy to be around and I complain a
lot and get stressed out and get mad at everyone
when I’m tired. Dane is the youngest one and he
plays drums and I don’t really know too much
about him he lives in like a weird garage that I
have never been in.
I can hear much different influences but mostly
Tank, Motörhead and early metallica? Favorites
from the past?
-Yes all of those for sure and then lots of old
hardcore punk and we listen to a lot of country
music and Bob Dylan and jazz too.
Zig Zags are you satisfied with the name? How
did it came up? I think it sounds a little punky ?
You weren’t afraid that some other band would be
named like this? Which is the best bandname you
know?
-Them Crooked Vultures should answer all of
those questions.
What´s the best thing with playing live?
-It’s really good cardio and I like to connect
with the audience and have it be a team
situation where they are giving it back to us
and we’re sort of trading the energy back and
forth.
And where is best to play? And the worst place?
-Germany and Germany
How is to play this sort of music in USA right
now? Which types of bands do you have concerts
together with?
-We play with everyone we play with bands like
OH Sees and also we havee played with Power Trip
so every type of music we will fit in.
How would you describe your music in three
words?
-Punk fucking metal
What does punk mean to you, is it only a word or
is it a lifestyle?
-I’m 40 years old.
What shall a young guy do today to shock their
parents as the way we did when we were young?
They have already seen everything ;-)?
-Where we live I guess you’d have to be a
republican or a Christian to shock anyone.
How is it to live in USA right now?
Politically? Fascists? Trump?
-It’s pretty annoying.
Is there any good bands from USA right now? Is
the punkscene/metalscene/hardcorescene big? How
is it in your hometown?
We just got voted “Best Metal” band in LA by the
LA Weekly which I´m sure pissed off a few bands
if they’re bothering to read the LA Weekly. I’m
sure all the metal bands are good.
What do you know about Sweden? Have you been
here sometime?
-We have played Stockholm and Gothenburg and it
was really great and the food was good and the
people were cool and we have a lot of friends
and bands we like from there.
Have you heard any good bands from Sweden?
-Träd Gräs Och Stenar, Bathory, Hellacopters,
there are tons.
Your lyrics, who does them and what influences
you?

art.
