Sowe're saying that since we alwaysopen, you should come in and watchus end tnen get messed up, cuz youwill miss it if you're too slow.MRR : Jack, you were in the army . Hasthat influenced your songs at all?Jack : No, I don't Mink it's changedme . It has influenced me a littlebit but not that much . It just makesme hate the army.MRR : What about your songs?Jack :

No,

I haven't written anysongs about the army because . ..Andy : He's hoping for war!Jack : Well, it just doesn't appealto me.MRR : Are you going to be touring?Anna : We hope so.Jack M . : We got a call from some guyin Houston to go down ana play downthere cuz Dave from MDC left ournumber.MRR : Do you want to put anything outon vinyl?Anna : Yeah, we're saving up money togo back in the studio . We might do asingle with INTENSIFIED CHAOS.Andy : No way, it'd be a whole ep andUniversal said they'd sponsor it, soall we have to do is get the tapein . I nope that works out.MRR : Are your songs mostly politi-cally oriented, or personal?Jack : Half of 'em are politicallyinclined and the other half areskate.Anna : We don't have any real funsongs, they're mostly pissed off .

Andy : Rebellious.Jack : that's punk rock for ya!Anna : I think it's pretty worthlessto do any songs unless you havesomething to say.MRR : if you could make one change inthe scene, what would you want tochange?

All : NO VIOLENCE!!

Anna : People gotta start getting an-gry at violence.MRR : Does that include slamming?Andy: No, like real righting.Jack : Like jerks . And get rid of allthe leather punks, all the guys thatwalk around in chains ana spikes andstuff . Cause they're no use, theydon't have skateboards, they mightas well die . Actually, it's not justpeople wno wear leather and spikesand chains, but just the ones thatthink punk is all about getting on abus and saying "Fuck you, man, whyyou staring at me, man, so I'm abutthole!"Anna : If you have to be violent, youcould at. least direct It towardsomething like people who deserve tobe beat up, like parents. if youwanna burn something, go burn abank, go oo something that will hurtthe system ; not burn your ownthings, fight your own friends andpeople supporting [you] that pay youmoney.Jack : Don't burn the halls, don'tburn the places where you deal.MRR : What do you think about newpeople on the scene?Anna : It's great.Andy : They're nice.Jack M : There shouldbands.Anna : There's gotta be more "right"people to educate.MRR : It seems like we never see youat gigs anymore except when youplay . . .

Jack : Most of the time I'm broke andmaybe that's why you don't see me atgigs ; otherwise I just wanna go seegroups that are worth seeing.Anna: It's also real wearing cuz weplay so many snows . And for me, Iget so sick of all the violence, Idon't even want to go.Jack : I like to go to shows that arefun.Anna : There are hardly any fun showsanymore.Jack M : Scott and Andy take drugs nolonger, that's a nice thing to putin.Andy : That's the truth! Drugs areterrible . Drugs do nasty things topeople and they don't know whatthey're doing.Jack : Punk to me is not all aboutgoing to snows . Punk is just doingwhat you wanna do and that's reallycliche, but I don't care . I like totake acid and really have fun.Anna : If it makes sense, no matterwhat kind of person you are, if youfuck yourself up, you're gonna bejust the same as everyone else who'sall fucked up, if you're a hippy ora jock . ..Jack: What I don't like is playingin front or a dead crowd, cuz I

think I put out a lot, I try to domy best.Anna : You know what really pisses meoff is, even wnen you're playing ina snow and the other bands come onlast, they don't support their ownopening bands .
