A few days ago I was able to talk to Dennis from Relentless. Or Dcold from the internet. Whatever you please. Either way, he was able to give a good update on what is going on within Relentless. Talking about the new record, Hardcore 2010, Dogfight and the Lakers.
Yo wassup man my name is Dennis aka Dcold haha, I play bass in Relentless and then there is steve, trent, mitch and dean. And yes I am confident the lakers will win the finals, were playing at staples (home) come on... Nah it should be a good game though.
You guys went to record at Electric Sun a few months back to for your new release. How is that coming along?
Yeah it came out exactly how we wanted too. Shane aka Buddah is an awesome dude and is great to work with. He definantly knows his shit!!!! Thats for sure!!!
The new song on your Myspace is nothing short of amazing. A monumental step up from 'Opposition To Control', which itself was still a great record. How did you guys manage to write all this incredible new material? Same as last time?
On our last EP we kinda rushed that one but the concept and production of this record came out well with good time. Basically we all played a part in writing this record. But yeah one of us would come up with something and we would take it to one of our houses or jam space then just jam it out.
Fads come and go in hardcore. Metalcore, mosh, melodic hardcore, crust. With bands like Legions, Relentless, War Brain all doing good things, do you think its NY style hardcore's turn to make a comeback?
Man it has never left ae. I mean trends come and go in hardcore but I guess if your saying that the hard riff style Is “back” it definanty is man! Also suss out our homies in phantoms!
'Opposition To Control' was put about by Pilks at Dogfight. You guys are going to go with him again?
Yeah we are, Dogfight rulez!!!!
Is this record going to have a theme to it at all? The last record seemed like its aim was to make people aware that they dont have to put up with 'the man' and to think for themselves etc.
Not really on this record, however we did tackle issues like racism, depression, society etc.
I guess another big thing coming up is Hardcore 10. You guys are playing on the friday night. Stoked to be playing this?
Hell yeah we are man, super stoked on getting on. A lot of good bands playing both shows also.
Relentless has been around since 2006. And just earlier this year you guys toured with No Turning Back, got asked to play Hardcore 10. Is it a rewarding feeling to know that all your hard work is starting to pay off?
Yeah dogg being on that tour ruled hard and then getting asked to play hardcore got even better. 2010 is going well at the moment.
Just some quick ones to wrap up man.
What is a band to look out for in 2010?
Im not gonna say just one, but check out our good friends in Phantoms they got a new record coming out it is dope. Shinto Katana have a record coming out in a few weeks on Dogfight Records it is killer check that out. Legions, Endless Heights, Warbrain, Against have a new one coming out also, Lockdown, Hand Of mercy got a new one coming out, suss that.. Thats all I can think of for now haha.
Is Pilks' band ever going to play shows again?
HAHA I cant answer this question man your gonna have to ask the man himself. Last I heard they have a band and were jamming so who knows.
Are the Lakers to reliant on Bryant?
Yes and no. Kobe can have a shit game sometimes, even if he is the best player in the world!... But hey there is no I in team haha.
So if you are a fan of 1998, a fan of New York, a fan of getting the shit beaten out of you, you should probably listen to this band. Because they a definitely one of only a handful Australian bands that are playing a sound that hasnt been the 'in thing' for a long time. Not only are they playing it, they are killing it. Head over to their Myspace to check out their new track 'Set In Stone' and if you dont already have it, pick up their old EP from Dogfight Records.
*Since asking this question, game 7 was played. Celtics lost.. Not psyched.
