How did the band start?
Brian Schickling
and Rocky Rigs met up in one of Orange County’s fine facilities. With not much
to do, the two started to write songs and put the band together. There have
been a couple line up changes, but they were short lived. This line up has been
the longest-lived and hardest playing.
The band has been featured pretty
regularly on Surf & Destroy. How
did the band initially hook-up with the podcast? Did Hostage find the band or
did you submit songs?
We hooked up
with them a while back when we were supposed to play a Pushers show last summer. We sent them some songs and they have
been into us since. We’d like to thank them for the love!
Black Vinyl Limited
put out the band’s most recent 7-inch and it looks like an LP on the horizon.
Explain the Black Vinyl connection. How did you meet them, etc.?
Black Vinyl WILL be putting out our LP and 7” very
soon. Our debut 7” Recharged Rejects was
put out by Wanda Records (DE) a German Record Label. We also have two
songs on iTunes available. I work at Vinyl Solution Records in Huntington Beach
so that’s where I met up with Drak from Black Vinyl LTD.
List your three most influential OC punk
bands? Have these bands had any influence on the band’s songwriting?
1.
The
Stitches
2.
US
Bombs
3.
Smogtown
Yeah
these bands have had an influence on the song writing process…but not much.
Do you think music can still be a vital
force in such a disposable age?
Music is
everything. No matter what and how disposable things are in this day and age no
one can ever dispose of the feelings music brings a person.
50 years ago people use buy music and get
their water for free, now people pay for water and get their music for free.
How do you think this affects music in any way?
The only way it
affects music is by bands and labels not getting paid for their work. Which
affects the way music is put out.
Where can people hear the band?

What’s next?
Playing shows
here and there. A European tour is scheduled in March 2013 and the release of
our full-length in the upcoming months.
