Shang-A-Lang: Interview by Daryl Gussin. Imagine if Bloodbath And Beyond and the Postal Service crossed paths in the desert, and became a catchy, lo-fi, super DIY poppy punk band. Seriously, just imagine it.
God Damn Doo Wop Band: Interview by Joe Evans III. They play modern, non-ironic doo wop/pop music. They also get kicked out of malls. They wear nice dresses. They silk screen band logos on said dresses.
It’s Casual: Interview by Matt Average and Donofthedead. They may be casual, but these guys treat metal with the utmost formality. (www.myspace.com/itscasual)
