Botch

just beating aggression.

These are not really in order, but my number five here, I have the band Botch with transitions from persona to object.

Man, like this.

This is some crazy shit.

They said, though, Earth Crisis is one of the first hardcore bands that they ever got into as a teenager.

Buzz of Unearthed said that early on in their career, the only thing he was interested in was doing a show with Earth Crisis.

And Brian Cook of Botch said he's just a massive, massive fan.

So, I mean, like, Earth Crisis was really...

I...

In fact, no, I think probably I got into Bosch a little bit later because I remember walking into...

Not Swordfish.

What was the one? Tempest.

Okay.

But I've always been fascinated with Dave Knudsen's guitar playing.

And I've followed him from Botch into Minus the Bear.

He is a very, very intriguing, very interesting guitarist.

It doesn't really sound like botch at all.

But it's got that weird, like it's got the chaos and it feels, it's the...

I guess the spirit of like Dillinger and Botch without any of the real direct sonic comparisons which for listeners at home that's what I think if that helps go listen when it comes out go listen to the the brick thing that we'll talk about later because it's really cool and it doesn't sound like pretty much anything else coming out of the UK right now And I think that's sick because I'm a sucker for, I think of hardcore as like in some senses of folk tradition and a live music tradition.

And I like that it's oriented around dancing.

And I like the idea that it doesn't kind of matter how many bands basically sound exactly the same because you don't get to see every band in your town.

This is easy.

Thin Lizzy versus Botch.

[laughs] The boys are back in town, baby.

The... [laughs] All due respect to Botch, I'm psyched you're on here.

One of the, one of the... my except- my metal core exceptions, really.

Really? They're good.
