Screaming Ass
Screaming Ass is an innovative, progressive shit/grindcore band from Rhode Island. We have the fastest shredding, shrillest screaming, and heaviest licks around.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started Screaming Ass in 2003 in my room on a dirty matress we probably found picking trash that summer. I set up a fourtrack recorder and a microphone, and I would shred mindlessly on my guitar through my horrible amp while Napkin would slap a piece of computer paper and Emphyzema would scream the name of the song over and over.
We had guest performances on a local radio show, but after a while the show ceased to be, so we went looking for other work. In December 2003 we played a legendary jazz club called The Last Call Saloon (otherwise known as The Call).
After three monstrous shows, Napkin left the band in favor of a terrible screamo band called The Dying Tomorrow. We then recruited Old School to fill his shoes, and got Adriansoto on bass. The line-up went solid until Napkin returned, also on bass this time around, when Emphyzema and Old School got into a personal dispute and the band went on hiatus.
During the break, I (Squeezejuice) went into the studio with Emphyzema and recorded two new demosm which are available to download.
Old School is now back in the band and Screaming Ass is looking to accomplish their one goal of recording their demo.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play parties and open mic nights. Every moment is special because we rock the fucking house dude.
