4. What can we look forward to from you in 2014?
Not sure yet. If we get some money to record we will put something out. Maybe play a Halloween show...
5. What records are you looking forward to most in 2014?
I haven't heard of anything yet. Boris will probably release an album that I'll love.
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?
Spotify allows kids to listen to your band, who are normally to lazy and broke to do so by buying a record. If you don't give said kids an easy way to listen to your music, (bandcamp/spotify/YouTube) they probably wouldn't check you out anyways. If your band doesn't suck it won’t affect your record sales too much. It's just another Napster-limewire situation.
I listen to records I own and records I don't own on Spotify. Convenient for tour but really racks up data plan overages.
