2. What band did you discover in 2015 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
I’m not trying to avoid this question, but I honestly feel that everything I’m into musically makes some sort of impact on my life, consciously and subconsciously. It might be an entire album, a song, or even just a drum fill, or tone, or lyric. Everything seeps in. Even stuff that sucks in my own opinion influences me to do something, which in itself will crate an impact.
3. How will you remember 2015? (In terms of music)
Beats me.
4. What can we look forward to from you in 2016?
New stuff by Head Wound City, Dead Cross, Planet B, etc.
5. What records are you looking forward to most in 2016?
So far I’m looking forward to the new Hot Nerds EP.
6. How relevant is the physical format record/cd/tape in 2015 and going into 2016? What do you see changing in terms of physical vs. digital discussions?
I never know what is relevant. I typically just gravitate towards what I like and appreciate. Relevance is irrelevant at times. With that being said, I prefer the vinyl format and mp3s.
