Interview du groupe Ass to Mouth




How did the band get formed ? How did you meet yourself ?

Well, there is no big story following it, I met Jarek in our previous, so called “side project”, and we decided that we want to do some grindcore together. We asked our firend Pablo to join us, he brought our first vocalist Sandro with him and that’s it. First rehearsals in December 2004, first shows in May 2005. The rest is history

Your band name is very ordinary for a grindcore band, is not it ?
Frankly, I never thought about it. It sometimes make some “controversy” at punk rock scene, we are not able to play on every show, on some squats, and so on. I can understand it and I don’t feel offended, although we are not, and never were porn grind, or even gore grind band.

 
Don’t you think your band name complicates research about your band on the internet ?
When I write our name in google the first record is our myspace page, so I don’t think so. If someone is looking for excuses to watch some porn, he will always find it haha J

 
How do you compose your sounds?
We meet on rehearsals, bring our ideas together, and that’s the whole process

 
What do you talk about in your songs ?
Alcohol. We are disgustingly monothematic.

Your band seems to be more influenced by crust/punk than other grindcore bands, is not it ?
I don’t think so, good grind must be punk, and there are dozens of great grindcore bands that are absolutely punk influenced – from Napalm Death to Magrudergrind.
What are your main influences?
Old gxc, punk, hardcore, power violence, thrash, and probably some good groovy goregrind bands, there are few of them only, like for example Regurgitate, but for sure they inspire our groovy part of music.


Could you give me a list of your current favorites tracks ?
If it’s about grindcore I listen mainly to new Phobia’s “Unrelenting” EP, it’s absolutely perfect. Raw,  furious & punk – grindcore the way it suppose to be.


How do you prepare your gigs ?
We do rehearsals and that’s all! We don’t have any figures that we must practice in front of the mirror J


What can we expect of you in the near future?
We are recording new full length now, it should be finished at the beginning of 2011, but I don’t know yet where and when is it going to be released. Before that we should finally release our split 7” with our friends form czech’s Jig-Ai, this winter at Bizarre Leprous Prod.


What do you think of polish grindcore scene ?
It’s quite good and there are many great bands here – Parricide, Suffering Mind, Neuropathia, Dead Infection, Squash Bowels and so on. You should probably know most of them, if not, try to make up for it as soon as possible.


Having played in many different venues, you must have some crazy or embarrassing stories to go with it?
Most of embarrassing stories are connected with alcohol, and being drunk on stage. You know, it’s always fun, but only for band members, so now we try to avoid these situations as much as we can.


If you have some final words to add, please do it here.
Thanks for the interview and hi there to all vehementis readers. Don’t drink too much, otherwise you will soon all be dead!
