"The people in underground are just more down to earth, more interesting people. Mainstream people and union people think they’re this special breed of people when 99.9% of them are narcissistic mediocre assholes. Some of the stories I could tell you about ‘actors’ and their smug, entitled behaviors would make you sick. Underground and punk folks aren’t like that. They just do what they want to do because they have to do it. There is no fucking hierarchy agenda other than release and having a good time. Everything on film is fake in mainstream of course. In my earlier films I’ve used real vomit, real urine, real blood. I’ve carved my entire body up with razorblades in a movie once. That would never happen on a mainstream set. For one, the union wouldn’t allow it". More
We are Necrotic Society, everything started with Alex (Guitar), when he moved to the United States in December 2015. He started to looking for a project to be a part of. After few months he found JR (drums) and started jamming together, and after we tried out a few different people, we ended up with Courtney on vocals and Javier on bass. Finally, formed as a band in October 2016 and released our first Album in February 2017. We recently released a 4-way split with YD from Italy, Sick Times (Germany) and The Minutes (NYC). More
"I'm not really a "political" type of guy, but I say let's bring back the old school "fuck you" type of attitude, we need that shit right now, especially in this era. Put that attitude in the music, just like they did back in the early days of Hardcore & Punk music. I remember back in the day on weekends I would go crazy listening to a radio station on 98.7FM a Hip-Hop Radio show with DJ Red Alert, he would be spinning some dope off da hook records to the crack of dawn. I would grab my boombox and record all his shows on cassette tape and I would pause the talking parts." More
"I had NO INTENTION to write this book, but I surely couldn’t stop it from happening. It all started during the lockdown. Eugene Robinson (Whipping Boy, OxBow) was then an editor at Ozy. He liked “The Beat Down at CBGB,” an article I wrote about the hardcore scene of the 1980s, and invited me to write first person narratives for Ozy. While initially reluctant, the world was under house arrest, so there was nothing else to do. More
"Thanks for the interest and support! First time I realized? That would have to be around '78 or '79 when I was about 13 or 14. I snuck out of the house and came home from seeing The Plasmatics at CBGB. My father was waiting for me when I got home and I got my ass beat. As I sat there crying, I thought to myself that it was worth it and I'd do it again. And did! I had seen The Clash and a few other bands before that, but that was the night I realized. So it wasn't a song or an album, there were quite a few of those. It was a beating".
"I find the thing that is most upsetting is the world’s total absorption into social media. We are no longer free thinking and living. We have allowed ourselves to compare our relationships to memes on Facebook and are too worried with building an Internet life instead of a real one. We have become too obsessed with how many "likes" we get on a repost of an article we didn't even truly read; instead of living our lives". More
"Just do it, but first and foremost educate yourself for the sake of your music and your bandmates. Also very important!! Don’t be a douche, be nice to everybody. I believe tha’s the first stage of anarchism! Be an excellent fella to everybody except a fucking nazi!! Fuck those guys!! Big time!!" More
"I was a latch key kid by 8 years-old (meaning that I had my own keys to our apartment and went to and from school by myself as a child). It was the crazy violent and heroin filled Lower East Side of New York City of the late 1970s. It looks nothing like it does today. Just search for Lower East Side 1970s on Google and you'll see what I mean. It was nuts, but a lot of us kids then traveled from school to home by ourselves. This wouldn't happen today but then it was just different". More
"The band started in 1991 in the shadows of Tompkins Square Park's tent city and the 3bc Squat pUnx during the social upheaval of the neighborhood during those riots. The lineup stabilized by ‘92 for Pot Parade and GG ALLIN's final concert performance, but people always had things going on and when drugs took over some people's lives. I had to move on to other members for the Spike Lee filming of the SUMMER OF SAM and the album released through Tower Records and Cocoanuts Record stores. The next album had former members return to record and play shows as well". More:
"The coolest thing I saw was during our set when we played with The Mob and Minor Threat at CBGB's in Dec. 1982. I believe it was during the song “Ignorant”. I went from looking at my guitar, to looking at the circle pit. All I could see was a blur of bodies going around and around, and I really couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It looked like butter being churned, a smooth blurry circular motion, couldn’t tell who was who, but everyone was in sync with each other which looked really cool!" More
"I started White Trash Debutantes as a fun party band.. My pal Joey Ramone became an instant supporter of the band and he put us on some shows that he was promoting along with touring with The Ramones. I will always be grateful for the support he sowed us. Billy Gould produced our first record that we released on Alternative Tentacles.. Jello Biafra also supported the band and Faith No More has also been very kind to us". More
The Truth About Aliens. Collector's edition. Interview with the paranormal Alexandre William. "My body is human but my essence or spirit is extraterrestrial. Everything I experience here on earth will be added to the essence of the Being. The Being often acts more than Alexandre William."
