SONICK PLAGUE (Eng.)

1- Hello, thanks for answering to our questions. What are you guys currently up to?
Currently we are working on new material for the next recording , playing a few local shows as well as getting ready for the official release. We are just having a lot of fun with it

2- First off, could you make some history of the band?
The band started in the mid 80s in West Virginia which later moved to Connecticut. After a couple line up changes in the band ,we began playing anyplace that had electricity. Our big break was playing a local club called the Anthrax.  They booked us with a lot of the bigger acts that came through and eventually signed us to their label.  Soon after the release, we did a self-supported tour of the U.S. It went well but took its toll,which caused the band to take a 28 year break.  But truth be known – we planned it that way.

3- How could you describe your sound?
As far as our sound I guess it would be considered thrash.  With so many sub-categories in music now, I’ll just leave it to the trusting hands of the listeners. They are the most important part of this! They can put us where they want as far as a category is concerned

4- What are the band’s main musical influences?
Our influences range from the Sex Pistols to Johnny Cash and really everything in between . Everybody in the band loves all kinds of stuff. Me personally, I like anything I can fight a bull to!

5- How is the feedback for your new album being?
The feed back on the album so far has been great!! It’s official release is not until July 24th.but everything so far has been very good.  We have some great people helping us out. So far so good. We really hope that people who haven’t heard it yet will dig it. It’s nice …ya know, you can take a bath while listening…. or slaughter a suckling calf , very versatile music.

 
6- And are your personally satisfied with the final outcome?
As far as being satisfied I feel we are. It was really cool recording at the Carriage House Studios.  The place was great.  But there’s always that something more you want so I don’t think we’ll be completely satisfied unless this goes gold. Or, maybe tin….either way, some kind of metal.

 
7- How could you describe this opus in just 3 words?
just 3 words that’s it hmmm tough one I’d have to say   One swell record.

 
8- How has the production process for your new release been?
The production process has been a hell of a learning experience as a whole. This time out has been very different. The first time around we were very young and things were simply done this time we went a bit of a different rout a lot has changed in the music world in the last 20 plus years. But it’s been a lot of fun.

 
9- And how do you use to work on the songwriting?
The songwriting is done by all of us  the boys come up with some riffs and we hash it out . It’s kinda like taking your grandmother to get her feet scraped, it starts out ugly, painful and rough, then ends up being a wonderful thing!!

10 – Finally, what are you near-future plans?
In the near future I will just try to avoid bouts of constipation !!  But seriously, our future plans really depends on how well the music does on its release. It’s like waiting for Christmas we don’t know what’s in store . I know we would love to play everywhere! One of the coolest things I loved about touring was meeting some very cool people. I think sometimes bands forget that – once they reach a certain level.  They ain’t shit without the people who support them !!! Hopefully we can do that again.
 
11- That’s all from our side, thanks again for taking your time to answer our questions. If you want to add some final words, feel free to do it.
Thanks for the support and your interest!!!  Ken Cuccaro
