We just have to plan everything in advance and concentrate it so that we get everything done in time. It's not as laidback as I wish it could be.

I was young, but to me that was underground music. I had never heard anything like Venom or any of that stuff growing up in Louisville. That was sort of the only weird records I could find. All that stuff would be in the import section. And sometimes there would be some sort of goth type of stuff. But that was the stuff I was attracted to.

People like a story that has a lot of blood, sweat and tears. But I don't think the Slint story really has that.

When I was really young, I was really into Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden and those kinds of bands.

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.

There are so many things that kept forcing metal back down to the underground. It survives everywhere on the planet.

When I was younger and bands were formed that way, out of friendships rather than anything else. It wasn't like we put up want ads.
