If you’re living in a battle of the bands mentality you’re fucking up. Friendship is the most important part of being in a scene. It’s a community. You’re not alone. If you need help, ask. If you can help, speak up. I’m so lucky I found you all. Find what’s good and make it last.

Bands of all genres should be looking at underground DIY hardcore punk for inspiration. Can’t get a show? Book your own. Can’t find a venue? Throw a house party. Promoter doesn’t promote. You promote. These aren’t new ideas at all, it’s how I started and still operate.

Necrot had offers from much larger record labels and decided to stay with Tankcrimes. They told me it was because of our ideals and friendship. They told me that I would do a better job. That was very empowering. I love those guys and I love this band.

The mainstream music press did us all dirty yesterday by not adding “for the next 90 days” to every headline about live nation ending merch cuts. I shared an article with skepticism but still became part of the misinformation. Big PR move, everyone ate it up.

The world’s most notorious single gram of high carbon steel. Yes it’s real. The Dystopia razor blade. These were included in some copies of the Dystopia / Grief split 7” released on the bands own Life is Abuse and Misanthropic Records in 1993.

When I met Dave Lombardo I asked if he wanted to smoke some weed, then I apologized it was a spliff w/tobacco cause we were in Europe. He goes “hold on” runs off, returns with his own clean weed for us to smoke. Then he takes off again after and returns with a pizza! 10/10 đŸ’„đŸ•đŸ’š

Merch cuts: you can’t always just skip out if you’re support on a big tour. I’ve had tour managers call and make me go back to the venue and pay after dipping out like that. You have to lie, it’s the only way.
