conscious punk it’s hard not to love. </strong></p> <p><strong>Hey Zack, Dylan, what are we interrupting?<br/> Zack:</strong> Hello! I do tarot card readings professionally, and you’ve caught me in between appointments – so you haven’t interrupted anything.</p> <p><strong>How long have you guys been making music together and where did you meet?<br/> Dylan:</strong> I grew up going to see Greg and Zack’s old band, but I didn’t know them otherwise. When I was in college, my band toured with Greg’s band at the time. After that, we all found ourselves living in Buffalo, so we decided to start playing together. That was probably early 2013? Yeah.</p> <p><strong>Being a band in New York must be great, right? What’s the local scene like in Buffalo?<br/> Dylan:</strong> You’re right, being a band in New York is great! There have been so many great local bands from upstate NY, and I like being a part of that history. Buffalo has a great DIY and house show scene, and we try to do what we can to support that. Bands like Mapmaker, Slow Cooker, Yellow House, Hot Tip, Alpha Hopper, and VWLS are locals that I’m really into right now, and I’m happy we get to play with them here in Buffalo.</p> <p><strong>What inspired you to make the kind of music you do?<br/> Dylan:</strong> We’ve all been in riffy punk bands since we started playing music. I think that combined with our love of 90s emo is what inspired this record. We’ve also lived in upstate NY our whole lives, so the details and lyrics reflect that.</p> <p><strong>How did you find the process of creating your debut, ‘All Day, Every Day, All Night’? Was it tough?<br/> Dylan:</strong> It wasn’t necessarily tough, it was just a long process. We had some songs written for it long before we booked studio time. I think it’s a strong reflection of what our band is capable of. We recorded it live in January 2016 at GCR here in Buffalo NY. Our friend Jay Zubricky engineered and mixed it while Dan Coutant at Sun Room Audio handled the mastering job. We’re really happy with the tones we got and how the record sounds.</p> <style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style> <div class="embed-container"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170409135906if_/https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLCOgX8TW9tS-zwfze0gJHbdIc2hPF2TgF" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <p><strong>What’s your favourite thing about the release?<br/> Zack:</strong> I’d say my favourite thing about this release is its sonic imperfection. I get really tired of listening to bands in our genre whose records are super compressed, use quantized / triggered drums, and copious amounts of pitch correction. You get to a point where you feel like you’re listening to how good a studio engineer is at using software, rather than the band and the music they wrote. With this record, we were fortunate to have access to a beautiful, gold standard, state-of-the-art live room which afforded us the opportunity to dial in natural sounds and tones we were looking for. We also recorded everything live (with the exception of vocals) to get the most organic sounding performance we could. We’re a genre rock band. If you’re making genre-specific music like we do, I think it’s important to do whatever you can to make it interesting.</p> <p><strong>How did you hook up with the guys from Topshelf Records?<br/> Zack:</strong> Topshelf hit us up around the time our first EP came out in spring 2014. We were all incredibly excited to have the opportunity to work with them. As a band, I’d say they were, and still are, our favourite label, and probably would be anyway if we had never started working with them. Some of our favourite bands and releases of the last decade have come from Topshelf. So needless to say, it’s an honour to be included on a roster of artists we have so much respect for. Additionally, we’re 100% in agreement with their political aesthetics, which is a good thing, of course. Recently they’ve done some great work fundraising for ACLU, NAACP, Planned Parenthood. It’s nice to feel aligned ethically with the people you’re working with.</p> <p><strong>Album aside, what else are you guys working on at the mo? Are you touring much this year?<br/> Zack:</strong> We’ve got plans to play a few festivals. We’ll be touring down to SXSW in Austin, TX for the Topshelf Records showcase as well as one or two other showcases while we’re down there. We also have some other festival plans in the works which haven’t been announced yet.</p> <p><strong>What do you think is music’s most important job in 2017?<br/> Zack:</strong> In 2017 especially, music’s most important job is to be a vehicle for political and social progress. As we’re witnessing the emergence of ultra right-wing white nationalists into positions of power in Europe and the US, the idea of playing music just for music’s sake feels increasingly less important. Of course, playing music has always been and will always be fun and fulfilling. I’ve always enjoyed being involved with any form of creative activity, but have never made any overtly political music (this band is no exception). That’s why it’s important for us to make our views publicly known whenever possible. Whether people are aware of it or not, every word we do or do not speak, and every action or non-action we take has political implications. In an increasingly troubling political climate worldwide, I believe all creative people have a responsibility to use their platform to stand with social and economic justice and against systematic hatreds of all forms. So long story short, I love playing in my genre-rock band, but there are far more important things going on in the world than my genre-rock band.</p> <p><strong>Del Paxton’s debut album ‘All Day, Every Day, All Night’ is out now.</strong></p> <div style="height: 5px;
