GAMA BOMB FRONTMAN SPEAKS WITH TEETHOFTHEDIVINE.COM

Philly Byrne, frontman of the irish thrash act, GAMA BOMB recently spoke to Scott Alisoglu of TeethOfTheDivine.com. In a comprehensive interview, Philly, ever the outspoken one, touches upon the reasons EARACHE teamed up with Rapidshare to deliver GAMA BOMB's new album, TALES FROM THE GRAVE IN SPACE for free, the effects of file sharing on the music industry and how the band proudly waves the banner for thrash in an ever-changing scene:

"Everywhere lately you see thrash bands jumping ship or aggressively retuning their style, which is fine, but we don't feel the urge. Our formula for music, and our delivery system for it, is perfect for us.

Two things dare driving the current "cooling off" of new thrash bands: one is the urge to grow musically, and the other is the fear that the ship is sinking, the scene is dying, style is turning and bands are afraid of becoming a joke. For the first, we grow musically by refining, by developing character and chops and balls. And as for the second, we've been together for seven years, popular for two, and have no fear of going back to "unpopularity" in whatever form its meant to take. We've never been cool anyway, so being passé is about as scary as a hairbrush to us. We'll stick with the thrash thanks!"
