Planet Asia on hip hop... and emo

Do you think hip-hop has gotten too nice?

Planet Asia: I think hip hop has turned gay. These dudes are walking around feminine. When I come home, my woman is soft, I am the hard one. You shouldn't be a petite ass dude. That goes to all of them tight jean niggas. Back in the day when you looked unique that meant your music was unique. Now motherfuckers look unique but their music sucks. We were about gear too, but we were about skills first. If you see someone rocking some tight jeans, they are rocking that emo shit. Fuck that emo shit. There is an unspoken manual to this shit and everyone out right now is totally disrespecting it.

A lot of what you are describing seems to reflect the whole hipster-hop movement.

Planet Asia: That shit isn't even hip-hop. If you are signing and your shit sounds like a house record or alternative record that could be played on a station other than Tony Touch's radio program or DJ Mugg's Soul Assassins, then your shit is gay. If I walk by a fag club and they are dancing to your music happily, you are a fag rapper. I just call it how I see it. Also, thank god for the Internet because it is just a big screen for cats to just play themselves. That's why you don't get many blogs from Planet Asia or my girl all in the video. I don't want you to know who my real girl is. My chick is sacred. These rappers are killing themselves as artists because they have no mystic. Shut the fuck up. Make people wonder. A lot of these rappers are taking themselves out. That's why you have to give respect to Pete Rock because he doesn't have to work with Planet Asia. That's why you have to give respect to Muggs because he doesn't have to work with Planet Asia. They are doing this shit for the silent code.

Jungle Juice

If you love hardcore raw and angry, Jungle Juice is definitely a band worth your attention. Their recently released debut album delivers nothing but a pissed off music backed up by a 'fuck the world' attitude. If you feel like breaking the law today, this might be a good soundtrack!

First of all, congratulations on a new full length. For those who have never had this chance, how does it feel to hold your own record in your hands?
JAKE: Thank you, and really it is overwhelming to think how far we've really come.
STAN: It's crazy to think that less than a year ago, we started this band as a joke. And I never thought the day would come where we would actually play shows, much less have an album of our own.
TED: Yeah, it feels INCREDIBLE, it's something I'm really proud of.
Mad Mike: I'm still trying to let it set in; still surpirses me everytime i see it and play our songs on my ipod.

What kind of response have you received since the Jungle Jamz hit the streets?
JAKE: Nothing but positive feedback.
STAN: Everyone seems to dig it so far, which is good.
TED: Everything that I've heard is very good, nothing negative.
MIKE: People have been very supportive and have given us the best compliments, the response has been better than i imagined.
CHRIS: We have lots of good friends and kids we have never met that come out to a lot of our shows and buy our CD then turnaround and tell us how much they liked it which is cool.

How would you describe the overall style of the record?
JAKE: A pissed off style of music with various influences. We really just wrote this record for ourselves not anyone else.
STAN: My current mindset.
TED: A really raw, intense plethora of experiences, opinions and emotions jam packed onto a disc.
CHRIS: Expressing the daily bullshit that goes on that everyone has to deal with in the world, in a pissed off way.

Are there any songs on it that you are especially proud of?
JAKE: Blood which was the first song off of 'Jungle Jamz' we released. We were skeptical since we had only released demo tracks prior to it but the feedback was awesome.
STAN: Nowhere Fast, for sure, probably one of the best things I've ever written, I can just sit back and admire that.
TED: Officer Down because it was the first time I tried vocals and it turned out great.
MIKE: Barrell Roll, I like seeing people go nuts everytime we play that.
CHRIS: No Glory, it's sweet.

There are a lot of 80’s hardcore influences in your music. How do think the band fits into the hardcore scene nowadays with all the metalcore bands getting the most of the attention?
STAN: We're inspired by 80s hardcore big time, however I think we've kind of developed a sound we can call our own, which makes us stick out.
TED: I try not to focus on metalcore bands and their attention. Kids seem to like our music so we seem to fit in fine in the hardcore scene nowadays.
CHRIS: Well, I don't really care about any metalcore bands. I am doing what i like to do, so i am happy.

Given the name of the band, what’s your stance on alcohol and drugs?
STAN: We're game.
JAKE: None of us do like hardcore drugs, but we're down to smoke weed and we're down to drink booze.
TED: Life would suck without 'em.
MIKE: Not too much my style.
CHRIS: I'm down for the occasional drink and smoke.

Is anybody in the band Sxe?
ALL: No.

Many of your lyrics deal with society and it’s fucked up ways. How is living in a place as Little Rock like?
JAKE: I love little rock, but it really has it's shitty qualities. Shitty people along with even shittier cops.
STAN: I've been more observant of my surroundings, and I've come to realize that if I were to drop dead, or not be able to keep food on the table or if I was going through any kind of hardship where a helping hand is needed, the average person, really doesn't give a shit. Regardless of location, a lot of people suck everywhere.
TED: I never really liked Little Rock, or society.
Mad Mike: Little Rock is the bible belt capital, where the religious bible thumpers frown down upon anything.

In Officer Down you deal with a police harassment issue. Does it happen often in USA that cops stop you because of your look, tattoos or stuff like that?
STAN: There's so many small, rural towns in Arkansas, where the cops really have complete control. I don't hate cops in general, however I'm not too fond of anyone who has authority and chooses to abuse it. I've actually been pulled over on my way home from work and had my car torn apart by a cop, and after he asks me if there is anything in my possession that would get me in trouble, I tell him no, he smiles back at me and says, "now, son, you can't bullshit a bullshitter", already making his assumption simply by appearance and nothing more. Then after he couldn't find anything to use against me, he left, half the shit it my car broken, or fucked up. I wrote officer down in my head on the way home from that experience.
TED: I'm young and have only had unfortunate experiences with the police.
MIKE: Profiling is part of the job now and it's bullshit.

Being against the Iraq-war, how do you feel about the Barack Obama winning the election?
TED: The fact that Bush is out of office and McCain didn't take his place is what I'm most proud of.
STAN: Let's hope things start getting better in that area. I'm hopeful.

You've shared a stage with a wide range of bands. What were some of the memorable gigs you’ve played?
JAKE: The first house show we ever played or Murderfest in Tulsa. House shows are always cool.
MIKE: This frat house we played in OKC.
TED: Definitely our show with What Life Is and our CD release show with All Teeth.
CHRIS: well me being new to the band i have only played 5 or 6 shows with jungle juice but my favorite was with our boys in ALL TEETH.

What are your views on downloading and file-sharing?
STAN: I think it's cool. With the type of music we play, it's not like we'll be rolling in cash from record sales.
TED: I could care less, I know I wont be getting rich off of this band.
MIKE: If you like a song and can get it, go for it. You get a song and show your buddies, then they get it and show theirs, it'll benefit the band through exposure.
CHRIS: For touring bands it is nice to get some money for selling merch and cds but i could careless if someone got ahold of our music in any way.

Is it threatening to the hardcore scene in any way?
TED: Hell no. If bands like us were featured on TRL and money was needed for mansions and cars, but the only thing good hardcore bands need money for is to tour and live off of.
CHRIS: I don't think too many people in the hardcore scene care unless they are in it for the wrong reasons.

What are Jungle Juice’s plans for the future?
STAN: Expect some new stuff very soon. We've done a lot of writing recently, and I think it surpasses anything we've done so far.
JAKE: True Violence on Tape (www.myspace.com/tvt714) will be putting out a rerelease of 'Jungle Jamz', we're really stoked on that.
TED: Yeah the TVT cassette release will include some new bonus tracks. Besides that, we want to do a split and tour as much as we can.
MIKE: I don't see us slowing down anytime soon.
CHRIS: We are having some fun right now, and plan on heading west this summer.

Anything else you would like to add?
JAKE: Pick up our cd and merch from www.fuckhellfish.com
MIKE: Listen to our stuff, and let us know what you think.
STAN: Be on the lookout, tons of touring this summer, so give us a place to eat, shit, and sleep.
TED: Do drugs and set your preacher on fire.
CHRIS: Fuck the pigs.

Killing Time: new album samples

Yeah, that's right mother fuckers, the NYHC legends are coming back with the new album! Click here to listen to the samples!

New Album "Three Steps Back"

Killing Time is now in the studio recording our third full-length album appropriately named "Three Steps Back." The album is scheduled to be released in early 2009. The band started work on the album in January 2008 after returning from our tour of Japan and South Korea. To write the material, we decided to bring it back to where it all started—Drago’s parents’ garage, the place where Breakdown had formed and where the classic “Brightside” record had been written and rehearsed. We see “Three Steps Back” as both a return to the band’s roots and a new vision of what a classic hardcore band can still accomplish. We think that these twelve news songs bring New York Hardcore back to its punk beginnings while still offering up that classic Killing Time crunch and power.
