Interview by Chris
What's behind the name "Angelspit"?
We stole it from a Sonic Youth lyric.
At the end of the day, what does Angelspit
hope to accomplish?
| "Change
or die. grow or die. make good music or I’ll fucking
kill you."

Good music...?!
We want to inspire people to think for themselves and throw away
their TVs and get creative.
We want to be the best artists we can be. We want to make the best
music and visuals we can. Angelspit is our constant attempt at doing
our best.
Name several of your biggest influences,
either musical, non-musical or both:
When I was a kid, I made go-karts. I used to weld
in this huge industrial workshop.
My Grandparents ran a metal workshop. They build HUGE farming equipment
there.
Arc welding produced a certain smell…and I kinda liked it.
The clanging of metal would reverberate in this place, plus the
smell of the special lubricant they used to keep the metal lathe’s
Bit (cutting thingy) working. It was all rather sexual.
We like music with balls and attitude. Music is a finely crafted
art that must be mastered. People are shitting out formulaic electro
drivel in a matter of hours and calling it a “song”…fuck
that, it sounds like a draft - a work in progress.
There is so much fantastic music being created by people who don’t
give a fuck about “getting signed”, or sucking some
DJs cock. They just make awesome music because they are driven too
do it.
The internet has liberated us from the corporate chains of whore
pop….it’s another (overdue) PUNK revolution!
Angelspit's ideology seems to boil down
to: Create, Think, Change. Where does this come from, and why is
this so important?
Change or die. grow or die. make good music or
I’ll fucking kill you.
| "You
are a beautiful being worthy of love and respect. You can
achieve great things, if only you’d stop being a lazy
self obsessed fuck."

Also, what would you say to the world,
or anyone in particular, if you could?
You are a beautiful being worthy of love and respect.
You can achieve great things, if only you’d stop being a lazy
self obsessed fuck.
Seriously, stop browsing the eBay, stop withering
away on the web. MAKE ART…
Grab your camera, make a zine, learn how to beat mix, learn to play
the guitar – GET ACTIVE.
If Angelspit could tour with anyone, who
and why?
Sonic Youth or Skinny Puppy or KMFDM!!!!!!
These bands ROCK. Their fans ROCK.
ROCK!
