Eric Solomon’s band, O Pioneers!!!, have been releasing records and playing shows since 2004. Last year the band released their latest full-length, Neon Creeps, on Asian Man Records. The band also rolled their van and after a number of lineup changes, Solomon almost pulled the plug on his project, only to be coaxed into continuing his band with the help from some of his friends in Junior Battles. This year Kiss of Death Records will be releasing a split record with O Pioneers!!! and Junior Battles. Recently, RJ Cresswell interviewed Solomon about his band’s history and his hopes for the future.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be teaming up with Boca Raton, FL melodic hardcore outfit Protagonist to post videos from the studio as the band records their new EP in Tulsa, OK with Stephen Egerton producing. As many of you probably know, the band recently fell on some hard luck as their trailer housing roughly $22,700 worth of gear and other valuables was stolen.
Toronto’s Fucked Up have posted their cover of the Katrina & the Waves classic, “Walking on Sunshine.” The band explained:
Speaking of more records, we just recorded a cover of a song called “Walking on Sunshine” by a band called “Katrina and the Waves”, because they paid us $1000 to do it and also because we love sunshine (which you probably know if you were paying attention during the whole ChemCom 2007-2009 period). Then we found out that we had to give some of that money to our label. Then just now I found out that that band (minus the singer) makes a million dollars a year from royalties to that song (not even exaggerating) so really we recorded the song to make Katrina and the Waves richer I guess.
It’s like a mix between the original and our own song “Crooked Head”, because we realized how similar they two songs were while we were recording it at our fancy $400 and hour recording studio in Las Vegas.
Check out the song here.
