What band did you discover in 2009 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
I'm not really discovering bands for the first time now that are having an impact on my life, but I had never of Prize Country before, and their new full-length, ...With Love, is just tremendous. The thrill of being impressed by a band for the first never gets old.
How will you remember 2009? (In terms of music)
Epitaph owned this year, smartly signing veteran bands like New Found Glory, Thursday and Set Your Goals, and doing well with new releases from Frank Turner, Every Time I Die, and Settle.
2009 was a huge year for reunions. What reunion excited you the most? What band that has not reunited would you love to see play/record most in 2010?
Small Brown Bike's reunion is intriguing. They are definitely a band that has benefited from a posthumous glow. I hope them being active again doesn't ruin that. I'd love to see Minor Threat reunite because it would be the ultimate reunion. There's nowhere to go but down after that and it would create the biggest media firestorm that hardcore music has ever had to whether. It'll never happen.
What can we look forward to from you in 2010?
Pastepunk enters its 12th year as a music site. Notably, we have just gotten into the digital distribution arena by digitally reissuing Silent Majority's EP "You Would Love To Know" and Blood Red's full-length "Hostage" (each originally put out by Initial Records). Both will be available from numerous digital stores in late January, and we hope to have some other similar announcements too. Personally, I'm turning 30 in a few weeks, I have a toddler turning 2 soon, and am an attorney by day. As Saves the Day once wrote, "can't slow down."
What three records are you looking forward to most in 2010?
Bad Religion, Sick of it All, and wishful thinking something new from Ignite
