Spencer (Full of Hell - guitar)
1. What are your top five albums that were released in 2013? (In order 1-5)
- The Body - Master We Parish
- Column of Heaven - Holy things are for the Holy 7"
- Iron Lung - White Glove Test
- Weekend Nachos - Still
- Noisem - Agony Defined
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 knew about the Body for a few years now because we played a show with them and Thou in Baltimore, but I wasn't blown away. It wasn't until a few months ago when I realized they were making some of the most unique and challenging music to come out in a while. It’s like a sludgy Jerome’s Dream with electronics and noise, so what isn't there to love?
3. How will you remember 2013? (In terms of music)
We released a new record and it was a big deal personally for us. So not to sound selfish but that will be my greatest musical memory of 2013.
4. What can we look forward to from you in 2014?
Some new splits and collaborations and tons of touring as usual.
5. What records are you looking forward to most in 2014?
I honestly have no idea what’s even coming out next year. Hopefully new material from Grimes and Column of Heaven.
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 mean we usually put up our music for free after a certain period of time. What I don't like about Spotify is that someone can upload your music from their account and potentially make money off of people streaming your stuff (at least that’s what I've been told, I have no idea how that site works.) If you want to download people’s music for free I don't really care, but don’t take profit for other people’s work.
