Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Here is a cut and dry history. I (Jason) was tired of playing in the band I was in, so I hooked up with a new drummer named Sean, an old friend Nathan and we became Heroine or Traitor. Mike of Circle Six joined later as a sound/noise manipulator, providing samples and keys.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We did play live at one time, but now we/I am only a studio musician for the time being. I am not opposed to playing as a band again in the future, but right now it doesn't really work for me.
Your musical influences
My biggest influences come from Punk, Hardcore and Metal. I love the Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols, the Cure, Joy Division, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Neurosis, The Jesus Lizard, Today is the Day, Bloodlet, Bloc Party, Bjork, Amphetamine Reptile, Unsane, Burn, Youth of Today, Judge, Gorilla Biscuits, Bad Brains, Cro-Mags, D.R.I. ... I could go on forever.
What equipment do you use?
When I play live I like to you a Marschall Valve State 200Watt with a Peavy 4X12 industrial cab. I use 3 Line 6 modelers (Distortion, Filter, and Delay), Line 6 Verbzilla, Boss Loop station. Jackson Guitars
