NOISEY: You guys came back with a vengeance for this record. How many songs are there? It’s insane. Ryan: The trend in general seems to be shorter records, whereas the 90s it was to maximize the CD format, and putting out 80 minute records. But now it seems like people are getting back to what LPs are, which is 20 minutes a side. So it was completely not planned, like “oh we like all of these?” Your day job is working at one of the premier music stores in NYC, Other Music, which has such a variety of interesting and boundary-pushing music. I think it’s curious that you would be in an Americana style-band considering what you’re surrounded by on a day-to-day basis… All these interesting records that push the envelope and it’s funny and almost like “oh yeah, all that’s cool, but I’m going to get back to my roots and play in a band that sounds like this.” It’s funny, I’ve definitely seen you rise rather quickly in the first two years. I think the first time I caught you was probably with another ten or so people at Tommy’s. I think you were opening for White Lung? Which is funny because all of those bands are doing pretty well now. That said, do you guys have any plans as far as the band is concerned, is it a day by day thing? Is there like a band you look up to? One thing I’m interested with you guys is your roots in the New York Punk scene, which is very very strong in 2014. One day you’re playing a punk spot like 538 and the next it’s something like Brooklyn Bowl. It’s an interesting dichotomy… from the most polished to almost literally a dirt on the floor DIY space. What do you like about doing that? A lot of that is being a younger band and trying to find your way, too. Your last Warthog seven inch came out with Iron Lung, and it came from the Exterminate Me sessions. What’s next? What can you tell us about “For You,” which is streaming for the first time? Who’s your favorite New York based band?
