who is the biggest influence in your musical career?

That's a tough question. Id say the generic life answer is probably the most accurate answer, but nobody likes that (hahaha). We all come from a lot of different places musically. Im personally really influenced by bands like Agnostic Front, Cromags, Madball, Earth Crisis, Snapcase, Sick of it All, Hoods, etc. Lately theres been a ton of really good new bands that im really enjoying. especially european bands. i love cutdown from Finland, danforth from France, stuff like that. As a singer Id say Dre from Donnybrook is a pretty major influence. Terror is probably my favorite band. North Side Kings is way up on that list too

what is your favorite part of playing shows?

my favorite thing honestly is to see people walk in all pissed off, and leave happy. I really enjoy kinda making people scratch their heads right before they go off too. that sort of second of "huh?" followed by chaos is a lot of fun. mainly im just glad i get to do this. hardcore has done a lot of great shit for my life over the years, and hopefully someday i can inspire somebody else to keep things going and really get involved in a positive way. the informative nature of hardcore shows i think is something really special as well. kids at shows are involved and informed about whats going on in their communities and in their scenes, and that's something you really don't see at other types of shows, and i think that's one of the most important things about hardcore, and that's certainly one of the reasons i love this shit so much

do you any plan to be going on any tours?

for sure! we've been to Cali a few times, next month were hitting new Mexico, and Vegas, and what not. were big fans of the 3-4 day mini tour and try and do at least one a month. were hoping to hit the east coast for a week - ten days this summer

what was your inspiration to write your album " Black Market Status"

basically in addition to the national problems we as a country have right now, shit is really fucked up here in AZ locally. our three main sources of revenue in this state were basically construction/manufacturing, tourism and banking, and when those three things crashed it pretty much destroyed everything. we have the worst education system in the united states, second worst mortgage crisis, and unemployment is something like 40% if you are under the age of 35. further more, we have a state government that is basically completely fused by social agenda, is totally irresponsible, and totally insane. the racist nature of our governor and our state legislature is something that has no place existing in the modern world. bottom line is people are really frustrated here, and don't have a lot of options. i think black market status is kind of a red flag to the world, saying that not everybody is ok with watching our hopes and dreams get destroyed, and people are getting awfully tired of taking said situation. especially considering the people up the street are getting rich taking advantage of the mistakes they totally created. people are only gonna stand there for so long as their houses go foreclosure and get bought out only to be rented back to them. the worlds a fucking mess man, and its all gonna get passed back on to us again down the line if we don't do something about it

what was your inspiration for writing the song Machine?

i really wrote that song about myself. i basically never sleep. id say in the last year ive gotten maybe like 15 hours of sleep a week. in addition i have a lot of health problems that i have to deal with. basically the way i see it is that that shit doesn't really matter. you put your nose down and just smash through shit and you can do anything you put your mind to. the only thing really standing in your way is yourself. if you are willing to put in the work and not give up ever nothing that really happens can slow you down. i guess what that song is really about is giving a fuck about yourself by totally not giving a fuck about yourself.....if that makes any sense

How did Redscroll get started?

Redscroll was started as a label to release 7"s by my friends bands when I was 15. Through trading those releases, I built a distro, eventually making orders from distributors. This was just a hobby until I dropped out of college decided to go for it full time. I partnered up with my friend Rick and we opened the physical store. We still release things from time to time as well.

What is your main inspiration for owning a record shop?'

Turning people on to new music. Helping the local music scene.

What is your favorite part of owning a record company?

Getting records at cost.

How was your "Blackout At Sunrise Sale" this past Friday?

The sale is always a great time & has always gone over really well. It actually lasts all weekend. Usually we have some sort of show inside the store to close out the Friday night. This years show was Iron Hand, Stab you, & Brass Caskets.
Check out Brass Caskets, their new demo is awesome!

Other than selling records and other merchandise out of Redscroll records physical location will there be web store in the future?

Yeah, coming 2011.

Who is the biggest influence in your musical career?

A "career" is a pretty hefty title, but honestly I do play music than anything else in my life so I suppose it's accurate. The band Reagan Youth is my biggest influence, though musically it doesn't come forward that much in Kingdom. (We covered them on our '9 Lives' 7"!) I respect any band that plays their music unselfconsciously and pushes boundaries with what they're presenting, and very, very few bands do or have done that.

What is your favorite part of playing shows?

I'm like Garth Algar in Wayne's World, "I like to play." I love playing. I love our songs. I love hearing them, I love singing them, I love seeing what solos Dave comes up with, I love covering my favorite bands. Of course all the stuff that comes with playing shows is worth something too (or else we'd just play in our basement)-kids singing along, stage diving, moshing, even the kids in the back with their arms cross who are uncomfortable as all hell with us, I just love the whole damn thing. That's a crap answer huh? "What do you like about shows?" "Um, shows." Haha.

Do you any plan to be going on any tours?

Yep! We're going to start booking a week and half east coast tour for the end January in the next couple days, then we're headed to South America in March, then we're doing a full US in April, then we're going to Europe over the summer. Gonna be a busy year.

What was your inspiration to write your album "the rage that guides"?

Musically we wanted to take it to the heavier side of things. Lyrically I wanted to make it a timely political record. We're vegan and straight edge, and while those things are important there's a hell of a lot of more going on in this world that's just as important. So I wrote about things that were happening at the time- racist and corrupt police using Philly's "stop and frisk" to target poor and black folks, consumerism at it's lowest as illustrated by the Walmart employee who was trampled to death by shoppers on black friday 2 years ago, the Animal Enterprise Terrorism act that targets animal rights activists in America, a sense of hopelessness that I can't help but feel when hearing there are carcinogens in every woman's breast milk on earth. Despite that, I think it's a pretty positive record because for all of those things there are solutions, and I have faith that we'll find them.


What was your inspiration for writing the song Pythoness?

Night after night on our last US tour, I asked the crowd how many people a girl need to sleep with to be considered a slut. Their answers went anywhere from 3 in a year to 50 in a year, 5 in a week to 20 in a week, 2 in a day... no one could agree. Then I asked if it made a difference if the girl loved or cared for those people. All different answers. Then I asked if the girl had only been with 2 people in her life, but cared nothing for them? Again, different answers. "Slut" is a word used to punish women for being sexual, it means nothing, it has no real definition because if it did it couldn't be applied to anyone with a uterus (which is how it's used now.) It's a weapon against women and it works. We all know girls who fear acting "slutty", how many dudes do we know who fear the same? Pythoness is a song about women making whatever choices they want and disregarding what people say, because for girls in this world it's a lose/lose situation- virgin
or whore, in love or not, 1 fuck or 100, it doesn't matter. What makes the real difference is having the self awareness and self respect to make decisions in your best interest- and if that's just getting off, that's cool, and if it's abstinence, that's cool, and it's doin' the one you love, that's cool too.

Can you tell us some more about leaving Eulogy Record and entering the studio to record ?

Not much else to say on the Eulogy front. We just want to be on a label that does vinyl and Eulogy wasn't it. We recorded 6 news songs 2 weeks ago, 4 are going on our new 7", 2 are going on something else (to be announced later.) Our new record is getting mixed right now, and we'll be making an announcement on who we're doing it with soon!
