Interview with Jason of Indecent Exposure 1. Who's currently in the band and what do they do? We got a total of 5 guys in the band. Karl is on vocals, myself (Jack) on guitar, Steve on bass, Tom on guitar, and Ed on Drums. 2. Pick one word that best describes each member of the band. Karl - Big, Jack - Boss, Tom - Loud, Steve - Nudist, Ed - Girls 3. Whats the most interesting/odd thing you've ever seen at a show? At this one show about 4 years ago, Out To Win was playing and during one of their breakdown parts, this kid in the pit went out of control. The kid was doing a windmill twirling sort of dance move and started spinning a little to fast. He spun right past the singer and into the drums. He went straight into the bass drum, knocking over all the cymbals. He rolled over the bass drum and then the kid fell into the guitarist. Chris, the guitar player, has a full stack of speaker cabinets that ended up on the floor along with his guitar head. That was pretty damn funny. Especially, when the kid was one of our close friends. He gets busted on about it to this day. 4. In five years where do you see the band...together, different projects, retired? Why? I still see us playin shows. We have been doing it since 1997, so whats to stop us. We will definitely have a different lineup, being that our bassist is leaving us for college. I will be doing this band until we can go on anymore. We have no plans of stopping. 5. Britney Spears favorite position? Hmm. Isn't she supposed to be a virgin still?? Well, I know our drummer could think up a couple of his favorite positions with her. We've actually heard a few from him in the past… Especially since he has a picture of her pasted on his drum kit!! 6. Do you think she really drinks Pepsi? Probably not. Not with the body she walks around with. 7. What do you feel is the biggest problem with shows today, and why? The toughguy-crew mentality has gotten way out of hand today. People are goin to shows starting fights for no reason and scaring kids away. If you have to act hard for people to fear you, then you and your so-called crew are actually losers. The real hardcore "crews" get respect because of who they are and the respect they give, not because of how many fights they get in at a show. Sure there comes a time when people have to stand up and set people straight, but you get the most respect when its done when its got to be done. Oh yeah, these emo kids turned mod are really ridiculous too. 8. Most underrated band in hardcore in the past 2 years? Almost every band is highly underrated. We take a backseat to this new metal shit that everyone is jumping to be a part of. First it was emo, now its emo kids playing metal, whats next? They gonna try to get back into the real hardcore scene? No matter what hardcore band you are, your underrated. I'll leave it at that. 9. Who let the dogs out? Don't know. But thank God they're back in. 10. Last cd you bought that never made it past its first listen? I really don't buy stuff unless I know its good. Never ran into that problem. 11. When was the last time you left your house and what was it for(work doesnt count)? Last time I left was to go over my girl's house. Ate some food, watched some tv…. I gotta stop there. 12. Pick 5 bands for a "dream show" lineup. Bands have to be currently playing and no members can be mods. Integrity, One Life Crew, Pantera, Ozzy Osbourne, and Strength For A Reason. Of course, since it's a dream show, we'd have to be on the bill. 13. Whats the one thing you would want a kid leaving your show with? Some great words to say about us to everyone he knows. 14. Whats the best current cartoon and why? He-Man.. Its back and better than ever on the Cartoon Network!!! Can't argue with He-Man. 15. More inspirational cultural figure...George W. Bush or the leprechan Wait, I get the two confused. Definitely the leprechan. 16. What are your feelings on the current craze with colored vinyl/record collecting? Do you think the music has taken a backseat to being the first kid on your block with triple swirled exploding dildo colored vinyl? I never really was into collecting colored vinyl. I was just like "Wow, a red record." A little while back, there was the colored vinyl craze around here, and it died pretty quick. I don't think that the music takes a backseat cause obviously the kid who buys the record likes the band, its just that he or she wants the record more cause its colored vinyl. What could say how much they like a band more, than spending a huge amount of $$ on the band's album, colored or not. 17. What are some NON hardcore influences on your bands writing, lyrically or musically, explain. Basically, our music is fueled by happenings around our own lives. Friends, Family, and our personal lives are all reflected in our music. We get calls all the time from kids who say how much they can relate to our music and how it helped them get through some rough times in their own lives. Nothing gives a band more motivation than that. 18. How often do you go to shows that YOUR band isn't playing, they dont necessarily have to be hardcore shows. Put it this way, whenever there is a show in our area, you'll always find a member of our band there. 19. What do you want on your tombstone? Pepperoni and mushrooms 20. Any last words? We would like to thank Jason and NGS for the opportunity to do this interview. I would also like to thank James and Thornz Records for helping us out, we appreciate it. Whats up to Insult To Injury, Pound For Pound, Demonseed, Dave Correa, Mad Mike, and all the other guys from the Barn Bash!! The courteous Indiana roadside service station for the $107 fan belt bill. Thanks to the BFL family, Nanticoke Straight Edge, and everyone in the Midwest and everywhere who supports us and the hardcore scene. Keep hardcore strong! Stay True! Peace.
