We Are: A...
punk band. An Strayan punk band! (not punx)
Where did the band form?
Perth, WA, behind Metro Video.
What things would you say you are a cross between?
The Southern Californian bands of the 1980s (Adolescents, Agent Orange, Black Flag), some classic rock artists, some Australian groups (Meanies, The Eastern Dark), some weirder sounds, Underground Tapes and the meth from North Beach flats.
Briefly describe your best gig...
We have only played two gigs in our existence. Our first performance was very average, so by default that would make our second show our best. We played at Roman’s house with our bros Extortion! Nothing extraordinary occurred whatsoever.
Which Australian band would you most like to play with?
Magic Window. They have a great sound, a mint vibe, boss vocals, a unique approach and unreal songs.
Who would you like to see on the cover of Blunt Magazine?
Matt Reekie.
What’s your best recording and where can we get it?
Modern Problems on Resist. You can get it from a vast array of music centres and Back Ta Basix distro.
In one sentence, convince us to come to your next show...
Our songwriting is strong, our performances are patchy yet enthusiastic and our playing is competent.
Anything else to say to readers?
Global warming brother...
