Why this name?
People seem to like the name and can remember it for some reason... It was an old video game.
Do you play live?
Yes! And we love playing. I thought seeing the females mosh was funny. Right now we are just playing around the Upper Midwest, but we are looking to expand.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I believe the internet helps bands get more exposure than they normally would. I believe it is good for the industry no matter how much the corporations complain about losing CD sales. Too bad for them. Maybe they should rethink about how they constantly screw bands over?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would... on the basis that it is no sucker deal. If they do not have the same goal or do not want to put the effort into promotion/marketing our band, then a major label is no big deal.
