Bobby Hussy (The Hussy)
SPB: Would you ever crowdfund a record?
Hussy: I would never crowdfund a record. There are plenty of labels existing and getting music out to the people...and if they can't help you then do what Black Flag did and start a label yourself. Do you think Black Flag ever asked fans to fund their records for them prior to them being released? I highly doubt it.
Bobby Hussy (The Hussy, Fire Heads, Cave Curse) SPB: Are you partial to a specific model of guitar? Bobby: I am partial to a few guitars depending on the project. In The Hussy I almost exclusively used offset Fender guitars like jaguars and jazzmasters, until rather recently when MPLS Guitars … Read more

This metaphor fell apart before it even hit the page.What didn’t fall apart are Wisconsin duo The Hussy, a guitar and drum two-piece that falls … Read more
Derek (Static Friction) SPB: What is the furthest you’ve ever traveled to see a single show (and who was it)? Derek: Oh boy, I just so happen to have a good answer for this one. My wife and I have been planning an Italy trip for about a year and … Read more
Sam (Feel It Records) SPB: What is your favorite album cover of all time? Sam: Funkadelic - Maggot Brain Totally iconic, striking, and still relevant to this day. Still wakes me up every time I pick it out to spin. Read more
Steven Fairweather (Gob) SPB: How many people mispronounce your name as an Arrested Development reference? Fairweather: HAHA! Not too many actually! I’m sure it’s maybe more of an issue when Googling the band. But we were once out on a run of shows with a band called “Seaway,” so for … Read more
