Interviews: Against Me!

Feature — October 16, 2010

  Since their formation, Against Me! have enjoyed a somewhat cult following in the punk scene, and tend to split audiences down the middle in terms of opinion. Their recent signing to Sire Records attracted a lot of attention and many "fans", already feeling alienated by the band's previous signing …

Interviews: Ian Mackaye

Feature — October 16, 2010

When SPB saw Ian Mackaye's new band The Evens play, it was situated in a large ornate church hall, with a crowd of varying age seated on pews in some twisted parody of a church sermon. If the crowd represented a congregation, did that make Ian Mackaye the preacher? Leading …

Interviews: Strike Anywhere

Feature — October 16, 2010

Anyone familar with Strike Anywhere will be aware of their sincerity and consistency throughout their career.

Interviews: Ted Leo

Feature — October 16, 2010

The phrase "elder statesman" doesn't really feel appropriate for the punk scene, but people like Larry Livermore are the closest thing we have to it -- founder of Lookout Records, frontman, columnist, blogger, and now, curator. Larry is teaming up with Adeline Records to release The Thing That Ate Larry …

Music: Coalition of the Webzines

Feature — January 26, 2013

Who still reads webzines? Who still publishes them? In a world where Spotify, Twitter, Facebook and Myspace (again) are drowning users in new music, it’s clear that music is more important than ever - but music publications might not be. Of course, we at SPB feel differently, so we reached …

One Question Interviews: Gareth Dickson

Feature — February 27, 2016

Gareth Dickson (solo, Vashti Bunyan) SPB: Is it unusual to be considered a "cult" artist or almost semi-legendary while still recording music? What kind of pressures does that produce? Dickson: Ha, nice question, I had to check that it was actually intended for me. I never think of myself in …

Interviews: Send More Paramedics

Feature — August 7, 2021

2021 might seem like a challenging time to resurrect a zombie-themed thrash metal/hardcore band, but the path of the rotting undead is never an easy one to tread (or shuffle). Thankfully for fans of British zombiecore pioneers Send More Paramedics, that's just what they've chosen to do. Resurrected for …
