INTERVIEW: PBK interviewed by C. Reider

interviewed by
C. Reider 

First of all, congratulations on your twenty-five year anniversary!  Twenty-five years is a long time to be doing anything, and I think you've been consistent and principled in pursuing realizations of your ideas, and deserve a lot of credit for that. Considering the occasion, I think it's probably appropriate to start with something retrospective. Why don't you tell me about the beginnings of your work with sound, and your first experiences with noise music?

Thanks for the kind words, Chris. I never think about things like that too much, although it's nice that you said them, coming from you it's quite a compliment! I do sometimes enjoy telling people how long I've been following my creative compulsions, it has it's own absurd impact.

REVIEW: The Mighty Accelerator - "Soccer Mom" EP, 2011

The Mighty Accelerator - Soccer Mom EP

THE MIGHTY ACCELERATOR
Soccer Mom
EP, Download, 2011http://themightyaccelerator.bandcamp.com/
Funtime hard-rockin' rock band songs that are equal parts Midwestern punk and classic rock. Cowbell AND double-kick drumming in the same song. Kind of like a lighter Motorhead, something like that. "Shake It" opens with some heaviness, and the chorus reminds me of Tad. Stylistically it sounds like a mashup of Celtic Frost and Cinderella. This would make a nice 7" vinyl single, I'm sure Andy would've done that back in the day. "Mustache Foam" has dynamics and riffs for a semi-epic vibe. The production is nice but not so overpowering that I feel the need to mosh here, or stagedive off of my desk. Clean and professional in a good way, and fun.

These guys are a two-man noise riot. This piece is a 27 minutes worth of everything but music. You got several types of feedback, shrill samples and loops, all percolating in real time. This was created live. Certain types of people are drawn to the fringes, the hard, painful, line-in-the-sand that just makes it impossible to think or breathe. Too much of this will ruin your hearing and make you go blind, or maybe that's just me. Tag me out, I can't finish listening to the entire piece!
