Anybody Got A Question For PRE?
 
I'll be interviewing them in the next couple of days, so if you have anything you'd like me to ask them, let me know.

Everyneurotic 06.05.2008 11:34 AM

ask the singer if she'd date me.

dionysusundone 06.05.2008 12:06 PM

I'm already asking her for myself. If she turns me down, then I'll ask for you, k?

batreleaser 06.05.2008 12:14 PM

if they consider themselves a punk band.

and why they rock so hard.

fair enough.

greedrex 06.05.2008 01:42 PM

if they are going to improve the quality of their upcoming recordings so that they actually become mmmm listenable?

demonrail666 06.05.2008 02:47 PM

Did the Grammy come as a surprise?

Oh snap.

atsonicpark 06.05.2008 10:02 PM

Ask them if Melt Banana has heard that song that goes "we sound like melt banana"...

Also, ask her if she'll sing for scissor shock.

And then cheat on Marcos with me after they get married.

atsonicpark 06.05.2008 10:11 PM

- How's their relationship with Skin Graft.

- Why the singer is so goddamn hot.

- If they're Scissor Shock fans.

- Who are their influences.

- How receptive people have been.

- Would they consider themselves "no wave revivalists". Also, ask if they're fans of SCISSOR GIRLS.

- Where'd they find that foxy-ass singer.

I dunno. They seem interesting enough, shouldn't be hard to get 'em to talk. Definitely ask about the melt banana lyric though.

dionysusundone 06.05.2008 10:32 PM

Those are good questions, I had forgotten about that Melt Banana lyric.

atsonicpark 06.05.2008 10:38 PM

ask the singer if she knows what bukkake is.

sarramkrop 06.06.2008 04:55 AM

Ask them if they are fans of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's.

nicfit 06.06.2008 05:02 AM

should I listen to them besides googlin' pics of the band?
I mean, don't ask this, just tell me.
It's not too clear wether they are good or bad from this thread.

sarramkrop 06.06.2008 05:03 AM

They're alright. Anyway, why do you not listen to them and then make up your own mind?

nicfit 06.06.2008 05:04 AM

* heads for their myspace *

greedrex 06.06.2008 06:07 AM

it's true they are good BUT have that shitty for shitty's sake sound that i just find difficult to listen to although the energy is great.
it's kind of erase errata meets ramones meets arab on radar with a shitty sound. still worth a listen

batreleaser 06.06.2008 07:21 AM

i prefer bands like PRE to have underproduced, or as you so succinctly put it, "shitty sound", to an overly polished clean sound. bands like this were meant to sound raw and shitty.

raw = yes , by all means
shitty = no, not automatically

i don't actually care, it's a production choice anyway, because just anybody can record something with a decent to good sound with next to no money at all; so i guess they really wanted it to sound this way.
By "shitty", i actually mean "tiny". They have tiny sound.
They deserve more power.
get pumpin' yo:cool:

sarramkrop 06.06.2008 07:42 AM

Are you saying that they sound small?

greedrex 06.06.2008 07:43 AM

mmmmmmm
yes

sarramkrop 06.06.2008 07:46 AM

I suppose they have that tinny, spiky sort of sound that can be annoying to one's ears. I like it when bands sound like garbage, but I need to hear some bass too.

EXACTLY
i like it raw, radical and reckless but i need my fat bass too.
PRE lacks the mean bass.
It's their style. It's like Erase Errata using Sentridoh's recordings devices.
I'm saying this because i know that i would love them without the overall sound issue.
just a personal point of view , nothing else

PAULYBEE2656 06.06.2008 10:34 AM

THEY SOUND LIKE MELT BANANA.. THEY SOUND LIKE MELT BANANA... THEY SOUND LIKE MELT BANANA.....

get the record if you dont find that amusing!


ask them how is the skingraft thing coming on considering they are the only european band on it... and how about some skingraft attention to irish band party wierdo...

nicfit 06.06.2008 10:45 AM

is the singer european :|?

PAULYBEE2656 06.06.2008 11:36 AM

nicfit 06.06.2008 11:39 AM

Glad you approve dude, I'm starting to think you've got some excellent taste. For real.

atsonicpark 06.08.2008 05:13 PM

the bass is probably the most prominent instrument in that band...

batreleaser 06.08.2008 09:29 PM

yeah, i didnt understand what he was talking about.

batreleaser 06.08.2008 09:30 PM

glad you relistened
