Finding a video of Siege rehearsing in some shithole studio in Boston in my brother’s bedroom changed my whole perspective on hardcore. From then, I got into bands like Negative Approach and Infest. This sounds a little odd coming from an 18-year-old. Aren’t you supposed to be all into No Doubt and stuff? Funny you should say that, because I met Gwen Stefani when they played in Stockholm recently. I gave her a copy of our first seven-inch, With Meaning/Destroy the Scriptures. You’re the only woman in a band full of men. Yeah, but I treat them like bitches. It may sound egotistical, but our band is like if Negative Approach and the Poison Girls were heavily into early Neurosis. Plus I think we’ve got something to say. Which is what? That it’s time to steal the term “realness” from rappers and put it back where it belongs: In hardcore. JIMMY SHITS
