Interwiew by Luis Landeo
Welcome Joseph in this interwiew can you tell to Arsenal del Metalero something about how the band started? cuz the only thing we know you guys did a break in the early 90's to pursue other projects in 2009 How was back to play again?
Ok well the band started in 1984 i was not a member at that point in time but Tommy was, they did some demo's and played a few shows at that time Dave Johnson was singing check out the 6 song 1985 demo on vinyl.... and then Steve was singing later and playing bass one of the shows i was at and became a fan rumor around town was they were looking for a singer.Steve had left the band and Dave joined at that time Joe was on Drums..He was 15 at the time. We played a few shows with Joe on Drums but his age was kinda of problem he was replaced by Eddie (Boppo). A friend of mine said i should try out i did and at 1st didn't get it but a few months later was called by Tommy and i was in....Soon after Dave left the band did lethal Aggression and then Mike Roberts(lunkhead) and Rob Hultz joined S.D. we had a good run from then till 1993 we split and did different projects musically .I kinda think we all really missed being in Social Decay for years we did a small reunion in Island Hgts. our old stomping ground. We had Boppo Still at that point he passed a few years later and is missed very much by all. In 2006 we were ask to play a reunion with Agnostic Front and Madball we did the show. We had Timmy from Tommys band Godspeed play drums and Rob H. came and jammed with us too... After that we kinda talked about getting back together for good we went thru a few drummers a few bass players We had Tim comeback and then Dave came back from California.Things kinda fell into place.We jammed and wrote our 1st new song after 20 years.. Hate is where the heart is... it was great and powerful and felt like old times.Your last album was:"Sick Society", can you tell about how was the process the recording session?
We went into Trax East to record our new stuff and some old stuff recording was fun and the guys at Trax East did a great job.What is the reason of this name for this Full Lenght?
We called it Sick Society from a song the band did in the 80's and we still do to this day we named it that because the world is a sick place sometimes, corruption in our government , crimes against people,murders.....Would you like come to Latin America and play in a South American tour?
We toured Texas in Sept. with H.R.A. Heavy Roach Activity those guys are great dudes! Check them out!!!! we would love to tour South America!!!The sound of the band is of the old school american metal hardcore school but how do you see the evolution of Hardcore Metal in this years because now we listen a new different sound of hardcore metal with bands like: hatebreed, sworn enemy, etc?
The evolution of hardcore alot of the bands today lost something and alot sound the same it lacks alot of passion and heart. Maybe im jaded. because im older and knew what it was back in the day.... I do like some of the newer bands. i try to keep an open mind...I mostly listen to old school hardcore I'm more of an old school Hardcore guy...But i do listen to new music of all kinds... things in the early years of hardcore was different time and place from now as long as the music remains true and recognizes its origins i will continue to listen...Do your have a message for your fans?
For the fans...first off thank you for letting us be us and being true fans we would be nothing with out you,its not about being a tough guy listen to the message in the music and never be a follower make up your own mind always question everything that can or will effect your world and life.
