when modernsextrash found its core members and the group began to gell as musicians “rise, start, go!” was our first crack at huddling together in a rehearsal studio and manifesting music. although a little more raw and live than the first release and where the band is currently going musically, i feel there is a sense of excitement and nervousness in these tracks that makes them pretty special! i hope it was obvious and people enjoyed the fact that we were total NOOBS!
you can see how my personal n00bery and drumming has evolved by viewing some more recent rehearsal footage of “rise, start, go!” on my youtube page.
ps – this video for “thing” goes out to my man john waltmann of four letter lie and 2012 threads. it’s his favorite (so far) modernsextrash song and for the last few years john has become a favorite dude of mine.

So, for the past 3 MONTHS, I guess you can call them “workers”, have been “working” on the roof of my apartment building. See, I live on the top floor, so I can hear pretty much everything that they’re doing. I mean it wouldn’t bother me so much, because I can sleep through pretty much anything; fire alarms, roommates fighting with their girlfriends, jackhammers on the roof, you name it, I can probably sleep through it. Thats not the problem. This crew must be a bunch of fuckin morons, because all they do is fuckin pound on the roof! Anyone who stays over, including my singer, Andrew, can not sleep past 7 in the a.m. due to the extreme noise caused by these “workers”. But, like I said, for me, thats not the problem.
