Scene Point Blank: How will you remember 2007? (In terms of music)
I finally found the Cupid Car Club 7".
Scene Point Blank: What kind of impact do you think donation-based releases like Radiohead, Saul Williams, etc? will have on the record industry?
The record industry is in for a rude awakening but I'm not really worried. The hardcore community has always found ways to survive.
Scene Point Blank: 2007 saw the decommissioning of two prominent file-sharing groups - Demonoid and Oink. What kind of impact will the increased crackdown on file-sharing have on the record industry? Did it personally have an effect on you?
I think it's cool to be able to download stuff that is out of press or extremely hard to find. I'm a scallywag though.
Scene Point Blank: What can we look forward to from your band in 2008?
Hard work. "Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God." More hard work. Come see us. Or not... We'll be working hard regardless.
Scene Point Blank: What three records are you looking forward to most in 2008?
Paint it Black's new LP. Hopefully a new Let Down record. Go check them out.
