Why this name?
It seemed like a cool metal name at the time (1995) when alternative music was the only brand of music getting any recogintion. I wanted to Ravage that crap and bring metal back to the masses.
Do you play live?
We live and play in Malden, MA...near Boston...it is the craziest city in the world...full of insane old people and vicious children.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows good unsigned artists to have a forum for their music, and keeps lesser known signed artists connected to their fans more readily.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Only if it allowed us to get our music to more people while letting us keep our artistic freedom.
