Interview with Poison The Well
appeared on Kerrang!
In the early 2000s it seemed that the hardcore would explode and it would be definitely out of the ghetto to land in the mainstream. Leading the caravan were the hardcore album with Poison The Well The Opposite of December , which contributed heavily to redefine the sound of that.
Today, in 2007, the band finds itself open to the Gallows show, the band still in their infancy. For many, this may seem a sign of failure, while for Poison The Well is a sign of independence.
"That does not bother me at all," says founding guitarist Ryan Primack "We opened for many bands younger than us and we do not create any problems. I'm always happy to hear music done well. Then, if the Gallows will be the saviors of the music, I do not know, but for sure we put a lot of passion in what they do. It's good to see bands like this, rather than people listless. "
" Since two years we have been out of the loop, probably many kids know us by name, but many have not bothered to go and hear what we play. "
"The thing that these two bands have in common is a general trend towards a kind not very popular right now, but doing so with great involvement, being honest with themselves, no matter what people may say or think."
Honesty is a concept that repeatedly returns in his words, as often happens with any band that has even a vague hardcore heritage, but in his case it seems that the time is spent not mere platitudes.
Try to ask him if you give up a lot of money for his artistic freedom at the cost of staying poor: the first word that leaps to mind is ... ball!
"I find it hard to make a lot of money with the music without sacrificing a certain artistic freedom. I do not think I could handle the success. The idea of \u200b\u200bbeing described as a rock star terrifies me and I have no desire to be flattered. "
believe, therefore, that the hardcore is too honest to reach the mainstream?
"Of all the wonderful qualities that hardcore has, I believe that it is a bit 'too honest to people. There seems to be a sort of pass, beyond which the pop culture over the music. To me, the hardcore need to give considerable freedom to the band and encourage them to have their own identity, rather than losing it in the name of money and end up doing what all ring. The goal is to play differently from anyone. "
certainly their last album, Versions , achieves this purpose and is detached from the easy labels screamo, emo, metalcore.
Nevertheless Primack is not completely satisfied.
"When I listen to my music, I can still hear clearly what I have influenced, at least I'm happy to have produced something that truly reflects. "
