How excited are you guys to be playing the upcoming A389 showcase?

This will be our 1st local show as a three-piece with Kevin and I singing, so we're pretty stoked, let alone the fact that this is such a great line-up. Plus, it was just announced that this will be the last Pulling Teeth show ever, so I'm glad to see them go. 'Bout time.

Your newest 7", Always Meant To Hurt You, was recently released by the label. How is it working alongside Dom and A389 to release some of your material?

We've all known Dom for a pretty long time. Kevin records a bunch of A389's bands and he and Jake are both in Hatewangs. Actually, Dom asked me if "I wanted to play bass in his new hardcore band" when Pulling Teeth first started and I said I couldn't because Triac was writing songs for what would become The Blue Room EP and I didn't think I'd have time. Soon afterwards they got a monkey or something to play bass for them. Dom has been great about getting the 7 inch out there for reviews and to labels. Makes me almost wanna take back those things I said.

What bands are you most looking forward to seeing?

Pulling Teeth, Eyehategod are always amazing, Eddie Brock.

What can we expect from your set this year?

More noise, more hate, new songs, new vocals, more odd stares from the crowd.
