In our ever expanding effort to blur the lines between media, art and insanity Punknews happily presents the latest in Fest related interview mayhem. In this edition Cam Taylor (of No Idea Records) and Bryon (Kiss of Death Records/New Bruises) interview Jeff Rosenstock (of Bomb the Music Industry!/Kudrow/Quote/Unquote records/lots of things with punctuation). Cam and Byron expound:
Amongst 2010’s vast seas of bands, labels, companies, and every other obnoxious little facet of the music world, it’s easy to lose focus and let everything simply blur together into a giant homogenous blob. Listeners find themselves so inundated with stimulation from every angle that it becomes difficult to illicit any kind of response from anyone. Bomb the Music Industry! have made a name for themselves by provoking response wherever they go. Loved or hated, everyone has an opinion on them, and the fact that they’ve managed to spark communication and debate in a scene where it seems oh-so 2002 to actually express a serious opinion about anything has garnered them enormous respect from many. At the same time, they never stop smiling, leading me to believe that they’re having a whole lot more fun with this whole trip than the rest of us are.
