VA PTD No. 3: Sister Bastard

Here's a short interview for Manila's Powerviolence Monsters Sister Bastard! They contributed two songs in the upcoming Pilipinas Thrash Detonation tape! Read on...

1. who are the people behind sister bastard and what is that drives you to create so much noise?

Brad: ‘Sup Mic? Brad here and I play the guitar. Matt sings. Collin’s on drums and Johnny’s on bass. Negativity is the biggest drive of Sister Bastard.

2. what's the story behind your two demos? how did you come up with it and what do you intend to reach with it?

Brad: Those are sessions we did back in 2008. The first one is the demo. We recorded that for the Pilipinas Thrash Detonation. The second one is the sampler. We’re supposed to be part of a 4-way split but it didn’t push through. We just put the demo and the new songs on one cd and gave it to friends and zines. We didn’t put much thought on all lyrics and titles at that time and all songs had this thrashcore feel with it. At that time we wanted to sound like Spazz and Charles Bronson and we totally blowed. Hahaha!

3. best show? worst show? why?

Brad: I couldn’t think of any best or worst show right now. Minor glitches sucks but it doesn’t matter. I always feel happy and contented with the recent gigs we played in.

4. who/what are your influences, punk rock and non-punk rock related?

Brad: I listen to different kinds of music. Right now, I’m into Church Of Misery. I get my inspiration from nightmares, physical deformities, serial killers, violence, occult, torture, s & m, pessimism, pain, surgical instruments, that kind of stuff.

5. what do you guys do outside of SB?

Brad: Johnny and Collin plays with Samok Estado. Collin is also with Guerra Mundial and Repugnant. We don’t do anything interesting, just the usual jobs and college life.

6. what do you expect of Pilipinas Thrash Detonation?

Brad: It’s gonna be a killer compilation. Grab a copy. Put it in your player. Press the play button and wait for your head to explode. Remember to pick up the pieces of your fucking brain. Hahaha!

7. that's it. final messages?

Brad: Thanks Mic. Have an awesome weekend man!

Currently listening to : Infest 'No Man's Slave', Spazz 'Crush Kill Destroy!'
