So who is in the band and how did you get together in the first place? And
did you have a sound you wanted to achieve?
(Garry) Myself and Mark , Nigel Maggot Kenny A, and Jimmy
Fliptop Mark and me formed the band after the demise of Crucified Venus we
just rang some likely lads who used to go to the C.V gigs and said do ya
wanna take on the world, The sound we are chasing is a heavy punk sorta thing,
hard like C.V but way more punk influenced rather than the metal that was
showing up in C.V.
What have been the reaction to any demos and gigs?
[Mark] This band is so new there r no demo’s....but
we’re working on an E.P as we speak.....as for gigs our 1st one is
in a few weeks due to the busted foot I’ve had
What sound and lyric contents can people expect?
[Garry] The sound we have got is fuckin great we have
all been listening to punk rock for some time and have pulled our own elements
into the mix , two guitars double kicking drums rumbling bass and angry vocals,
the lyric content ranges from horror to perverts, songs about punk rockers
and faggot rock stars I can right about anything.
What is 'Rule 303' and what is the relevance?
( Garry)Rule 303 was a term used in the Bore war by Australian
and British soldiers for Executing prisoners (with 303 rifles) if ya want
to check it out get Braker Morant out on Video..
Does it sometimes feel like you are the forgotten continent
when it comes to gigs? How many foreign bands get out to Australia, and do
they manage to tour round a lot of the country?
[Mark] Definitely....we get plenty of American bands
here but U.K bands seem to have trouble making the trip.
(Garry) over the
years
we have had some great Uk bands over but they are very few and fre apart
.. I think The ANWL are over in October.. cant wait..
I believe Nigel Maggot from the band is due to guest on
the new Dayglo Abortions album - how did this come about, and how much do
you expect it to expose Rule 303 to the rest of the world as a knock on effect?
(Garry) yeah Nigel got to play on their new record...he’s
really good mates with them he’s classed as a Dayglo family member,
he’s been on tour with them quite a bit over the years the filthy scab,
as for a knock on effect I don’t think it will do much for us as its
was just for a bit off fun and will just be mentioned in the credits, but
we will get a bit of exposure when we tour Canada with them.
What is the best sentence you have ever heard, that someone has managed to
get into a song's lyrics?
[Mark] A line from Peter & The Test Tubes One Night
Stand......
She’s lying there in the nude..but I can’t remember
if we screwed..I`ll do her now just to make sure..and then I’ll kick
her out the door
.....Nice one Pete
(Garry) a line from an Aussie hardcore
band Toe To Toe Ordinary man ordinary madness. I can relate..
Describe punk at the beginning of the 21st century.
(Garry) fun as always , bigger than ever through the Internet..technology
has formed a global scene it fuckin great..
(Mark)Its a pain in the foot for
me.
Plans, gigs and releases planned for 2004.
(Mark) Touring Oz east coast...recording E.P ..more disorderly
conduct
(Garry) a lot of hard work to build a new evil punk rock circus...Uk
