As far as specific bands from the 90s death metal era, I love Death, Carcass, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Autopsy, Atheist, etc..

On a musical level, I do find it rewarding. It's not like I want to blow my brains out while I'm playing these songs from so long ago. I am still sur….

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..

When we woke up every morning, one of our things was, "Let's go put a new sign in the back window of the van." Those are the different signs we had u….

You can go to any small town in America, there's going to be a metal fan there. You can't say that about post-rock..

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….

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

There are five of us. We've all played in various bands together, in different combinations. I know that Todd [Cook] and Tony [Bailey] are my favorit….

I'm still in the Midwest, but I'm in Columbus, Ohio, so I'm three and a half hours away from everybody. That's one of the reasons we're not as active….

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..

Louisville was also good place for being able to make whatever kind of music you wanted to. You didn't have to worry about renting a practice space o….

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..

Punk came along and grunge made guitar solos uncool..

I'm looking for anything interesting in the guitar playing, songwriting, artwork, and production. If you look at the stack of CDs on my desk and in m….
