Jack Vermillion (Ex-Breathers)

SPB: Would you ever crowdfund a record?

Vermillion: I don't think we'll ever find ourselves in a position where this is the best option for us. We're the kind of band that would rather just make a record for cheap by ourselves or with a friend before crowdfunding. However, people really love to demonize bands that use crowdfunding and I don't necessarily agree with that. It can certainly be cash grab by a lazy and corny band who is just going to make a bad record anyways, but, at the end of the day, who am I to judge a fan by what they do with their money? We've always raised money by playing shows and selling merch and I really don't see that changing for us.
