Scumcorpse Interview - Lebanese Punk Band - Scumfuck Till Death

Here is an interview with the lebanese punks Victor Outlaw and Jp Hellfucker ( From Scumcorpse ) that are keeping a Scumfuck tradition. We will be taking about the music and the street life:

1 - How did you meet each other, and what made you want to start this band?

Jp: We met each other in a local gig, full of posers. I saw a guy wearing a Ramones shirt and I was wearing a Misfits shirt.
V.Outlaw: Yeah so we started chilling on the street and auditioned for some drummers, but all of them were fags, so we called up an old friend of Jp.. Local Vandal, Robin Beer-opener had been playing drums for about a year before joining the band.

2 - How is the punk scene in lebanon and how do you plan on affecting it?
The punk scene is shit , were not planing on affecting anything , but i would credit the early detox shit , the first demo as a fucking punk masterpiece
V.Outlaw: I just wanna get fucked up.
3 - Can you explain to us what "scumfuck tradition" means to you?
Jp: Ask Vikky.
V.Outlaw: Ask Jippy. haha, I geuss getting drunk on extra strong beer, till we pass out in the alley.
4 - Where do you get money for beer?
V.Outlaw: Parents, gigs, selling Scumcorpse CDs, Busking or simply "borrowing" money...
Jp: Part-time Job.
5- After listening to some early unreleased shit, i've realized there's a big difference in quality in each song you recorded, why is that?
V.Outlaw: I geuss we were always in a hurry to record and sometimes got lucky. sometimes had to record with shitty equipment.
Jp:We recorded in different places , different gear , the demo won't be good quality which is what we're aiming for , but i think the EP would be average.
6-What are some bands that aren't punk or thrash that really inspire you, and what lebanese bands do you recommend?
V.Outlaw: Beirut Scum Society are the best lebanese band. And I geuss to answer your first half of the questions, I'd say Johnny Cash, Frank Zappa, Thin Lizzy... Other than that it's pretty much street punk and scumfuck rock n roll.
Jp:Blondie... I'm getting a debbie harry tattoo soon, Ram jam , KISS, even firehouse, im a big fan of old school rock n roll and some glam stuff. as for what Lebanese band i recommend : Thrashstorm , damaar(split up) , nightchains (split up) , early detox (a big influence) ... other then that the scene sucks here fuck it ...
V.Outlaw: I'd like to add that the Lebanese Scum Punk Scene is BEAUTIFUL, and there is totally NOTHING wrong with it... it's as shitty as our lifestyle and our state of mind.

Scumcorpse demo will be released and sold on LebaneseScumRecords.
