It looks like World/Inferno Friendship Society might be in the middle of some tough times. Composed of an ever revolving cast of miscreants and sounding like a cross between prohibition jazz and the Dead Kennedys, World/Inferno has forged a name for itself through explosive live shows and a wry disdain for authority. But, while their earlier albums were filled with joyous odes to thievery, flipping off cops, and just generally being a gleeful rascal, the new tunes that have been popping up live and on the net seem to have a more somber tone.
Instead of being chased by cops through a restaurant’s kitchen, the characters in the new songs have their backs against the walls. Instead of chewing out former lovers, they lament that they will never see each other again. But are things really that bad or is the band just tugging at our heart strings to see the effect? Recently, Punknews interviewer John Gentile chatted with World/Inferno’s lead singer Jack Terricloth to get the scoop on the group’s new LP, how the fight against capitalism is going, and why the group has lost so many members as of late.
