Now since I've gotten back into it, I've been listening to a lot more of the 1990s death metal type stuff.

The thing I like about the band [Dead Child] is that there's no pretense. We aren't even trying to be artists or poets.

Punk came along and grunge made guitar solos uncool.

Now since I've gotten back into it, I've been listening to a lot more of the 1990s death metal type stuff.

Most people found out about Slint in the mid or late 90s, but we were an '80s band. We started in 1986 and broke up at the end of 1990.

I think the majority of the people in the band still play in other bands, because we're not that active. But for me, it's the only thing I want to do and it's the only thing I'm focused on. I've always played in a couple of different bands at once, but now I'm only interested in the Dead Child stuff.

My kids don't really like when I sing for some reason...but they like when I play guitar. So I started writing songs just playing guitar for them.
