Pass The Mic: Artists on 2013

Chris Moore (Coke Bust/ Sick Fix/ D.O.C. - drums)

1. What are your top five albums that were released in 2013? (In order 1-5)

In no particular order:

  • Culo - My Life Sucks And I Could Care Less
  • Lemuria - The Distance is So Big
  • Radioactivity - Radioactivity
  • No Sir, I Won't - The Door
  • Tenement/Screaming Females Split 7"

2. What band did you discover in 2013 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?

I didn't discover her this year but seeing Neko Case live was a game changer. Holy shit...

3. How will you remember 2013? (In terms of music)

I will remember 2013 by the amount of awesome music D.C. churned out. Especially some of the younger kids: Protester, Misled Youth, Pure Disgust, Vile Faith, Thick Skin, Public Suicide, Dudes, etc.

4. What can we look forward to from you in 2014?

Damaged City Fest 2014, new records hopefully by D.O.C., Coke Bust, Sick Fix, and a ton more shows in D.C.

5. What records are you looking forward to most in 2014?

Satan's Satyrs, Tenement, Misled Youth, Chain Rank...

 

6. There is a lot of debate over streaming sites and royalties, namely with Spotify. What is your stance on the economic policies behind the current streaming services? Do you have a preferred one?

I don't really follow that stuff. Free music is cool.
