Paradise Noise interview (French fanzine) 11/2000
So what motivated you to start a band? Money, drugs, girls, rock 'n' roll way of life or simply express your own feeling?We put the band together for self expression and love of music.
What's the meaning of the band and why have you chosen this name?
Our first drummer came up with the name. It sounded heavy.
Are you critical about the scene hardcore of today? What do you think about MEATJACK can be consider like a modern band?
We're critical of everything, including ourselves.
What's your favorite utopia you want to live?
Just being able to make a living off of our music and not have to have a shitty day job would be good enough.
Tell us some word on your release, past and future, are you pride of this? are you interested to find a big alternative label for the band?
Our first CD "Trust" is a good representation of how we sound live. It's heavy, psychotic, aggressive & riff oriented. Our new CD is a split with Damad. It's along the same lines but there's more dynamics and experimentation. This is the direction that we see ourselves going in. We're happy with the label that we're with currently (At A Loss Recordings). Joshua works real hard for us.
What deal your lyrics? Are a part important in your music, in your life?
The lyrics are about the darker side of human nature and they are important to the music.
Are you interested one day to write a music for a film?
We have in the past and we would like to do so in the future. Currently we have a song in the new John Waters film "Cecil B. Demented".
You ask me you play a tour soon. Can you say more?
We're currently on our eighth US tour. We just played the first night last night in Cleveland. We'd love to tour Europe and elsewhere sometime.
Do you see in pornography something to bad - Or you like it?
We don't have a problem with pornography.
some words about : RELIGION:
Not for us.
BLACK METAL:Like all styles of music, we like some of it and don't like some.
METALLICA:
The first 3 albums were great.
D.I.Y:
D.I.Y. is how we've been doing this band for 7 years now. For us, we've found it's the best way to do things.
SEX:
Very good.
