FOR FANS OF: Trash Talk, The Jesus Lizard, Obliterations
FROM: Dallas, USA
RELEASE: Peace Delusions (Album, Bridge 9. Out September 04)
TOUR: You heard the man. Soon!
HOW DOES A TEXAS BAND CATCH THE EYE OF A BOSTON HARDCORE LABEL LIKE BRIDGE 9?
Says guitarist Jay Chary:
“Honestly I have no idea! We were on tour, getting ready to sleep after a show, and they emailed asking if we wanted to do a record. We got back, rented a practice room and started writing!”
YOU MUST BE EXCITED TO FINALLY SHARE PEACE DELUSIONS WITH THE WORLD…
“Definitely. There was always a difference between us live and on record, so with this LP we wanted that super noisy essence. Some friends said the first mixes sounded like ‘if In Utero was a hardcore album’, which was pretty crazy. We were referencing stuff Steve Albini did in the studio with bands like Failure, Nirvana and The Jesus Lizard though, so I think it captures it.”
ANY PLANS TO COME TO THE UK?
“We’ve been talking. I think the UK has one of the best hardcore scenes right now, so we may even try and pair up with a British band – that would be cool.”
