Summer 2012: The Frenzy Of Tongs

And here is the story and the future about The Frenzy Of Tongs...

We are the frenzy of tongs and we’re from Providence, RI in the USA. The right people tend to get us, the rest, we annoy at best. We’ve been around for quite a while, but have little to show for it but a load of good times, a bunch of food fights (Chinese please), and sometimes good, but always entertaining, shows. We do just enough crap to still call ourselves a band while not going tremendously out of our way. the frenzy of tongs consists of: Justin Allen (guitar), Nason Aubin (guitar), Ojie Madriaga (drums), Oly Madriaga (bass), and Jenkins (sings, sort of), but anyone who wants to be a tong can be a tong.

Early on the first singer quit because of unceasing ridicule (he wanted to sing about “life”!), and Jenkins the bass player shifted to bass playing and “singing”. Somewhere along the way Ojie the drummer’s brother, Oly, quit his old band and took over on the bass so Jenkins could “sing” and play another guitar. This soon proved too heavy a workload so it was decided that he would just “sing”.  Recently, after Justin the guitar player chickened out of a show (because of a minor snowstorm), the tongs asked Nason a guitar player from the F.I.D.s if he wanted to play another guitar for the tongs. Since the F.I.D.s are even lazier than the tongs and he wanted to play in some sort of band, Nason said something along the lines of “I guess so” and joined up.

The main band’s influence would have to be Neutral Nation, but then we also like the Queers, Toy Dolls, Stiff Little Fingers, Cock Sparrer, Screeching Weasel, the Vandals, Suicidal Tendencies, DRI, the Ramones, JFA, Agent Orange, etc. (as they say), etc. We are also influenced by comic books (the superhero-y kind), Chinese food, and Doctor Who.

This summer we’re planning to play a few shows, and then we’ll play a few more less planned, all with a bunch of bands way better than we are, shoot a video or 2 and finish working on our second CD which no one will buy.

And maybe finally finish building the band website @ thefots.com.

If you’re looking for some tunes check out this summer try some better New England bands, there’s a load of them!  Drop us a line at frenzyoftongs@hotmail.com  and we’ll be happy to steer you in the right direction.

Summer 2012: Clutches

If your band wanna be here, take a look at this page, answer the 5 questions and email them to me: http://schizofanzine.blogspot.se/2012/05/bands-what-will-you-do-this-summer.html


[ CLUTCHES ]

1. Please introduce the band, members, history, influences etc.

Well,who is writing here is Fabbe.I play one of the guitar in the band (Clutches). Members:Adde-Drums, Calle-Bass, Fabbe (me) - guitar, Tommy (guitar), Maria  vox, Lobban-vox. The band started in the summer of 2007 or something around this time, out of the ashes of  another band. I can’t say much from the very beginning of the band cos’ I’ve been in the band around 3 years from now. The band went to a hiatus in 2008 due line-up changes. Either one guitarist Hanna and Gurran the bass left the band.
 

At the time I used to play in this band Raised by Drunks, they spot me playing in a traditional venue in Stockholm called Kafe44, then later this evening Adde och Tommy invited me to join in the band and I accepted imediatly for I’ve seen then before and my first impression was ”Fuck, they just play what I digg!” We started rehearsing again back in 2009 then we found Calle for the bass duties. Back to business! Not really, at least not fully as we wish. Just for record  we got only a demo from 2007 or 2008, and nothing has been done after that for a few reasons. One of the reasons among a few others was that we got another year in hiatus because I had to go away to Brazil, where I came from originally, and had to fix some paperwork down there, it took me a year long there.

The year was 2010. Then back in sweden we gotta start to rehearse again but due work, family and life itself we haven’t be able to record  yet but we’ve been working on a 12” Lp and hopefully soon we’re gonna get our asses into the studio. Great songs has been done. I’m sure no one is gonna get disapointed for whom already know us.

Influences? Everyone in the band has a particular taste and we put it  altogether when we play however I’d say the our tastes converge when it goes to blend in  80’s Trash metal, swedish death metal and käng punk (for those not familiar with the term basically I’d say swedish  d-beat, crust whatsoever)

2. What is your plans for the summer 2012? Any other news you want to share?

First we’re going to perform our first gig this year with the amazing band Cross Stitched Eyes in Stockholm then keep focused in our rehearsal room working on a couple more new songs for our debut album.

3. What do you have for sale and what's the best way to order from you?

We got shirts,patches and badges.get in touch with us.How to spot us.Check it out by the end of  the interview how to contact us.

4. Let's namedrop a few band for the perfect summer mix-tape/cd

That’s a hard one as long as I listen to a range  styles of music. Well,my own mixtape would have any song from the new Wolfbrigade record, The Baboon Show, Newton and the Neurotics, Entombed, Dismember, Iron Maiden, Queen, Radio Birdman, The Saints, Bathory, New Order the list could go on forever. Well I speak for myself,I can’t answer this for the others.

5. Please, add what you want... Have a great summer!

Thanks for the space spent on us. You’ve been keeping a good work mantaining the zine spirit alive. I just wanna leave our contact to reach us  for anyone out there interested in booking a gig,getting merchendasing or just greet us.You’re welcome.Keep the rock rolling on and show no respect for any sort of authority.Peace.

Previews

 

Documentary: ANTIFA - Chasseurs de skins

This is a documentary about the french antifa-movement from 2008 with english subtitles. It's one of the best docus about this topic I've seen. All respect to Redwarriors and the other groups.

Paris beginning of the 80's the Skinhead movement came to France, and is about to make headlines for the decade to follow, at once provocative and racist crimes. Bands are formed and develop a real guerrilla warfare to counter the fascist offensive.

Their reasoning: the fight against fascism and racism by any means necessary even if their opponents turn against the violence they employ.

Country: France
Language: French
Subtitles: English
Release Date: 12 July 2008 (France)
Filming Locations: Paris, France

Summer 2012: Moral Dilemma

Moral Dilemma from UK will be interviewed in Schizo Fanzine #9 which will be out later this year. Here is what the band have to say about the summer 2012. Answers by Craig Temple
https://www.facebook.com/moraldilemma

1. Please introduce the band, members, history, influences etc.

The band is craig- guitar/ vocals chloe- bass/vocals pasty- drums

We started around 6 years ago in London playing local shows, eventually we decided to record an album and hit the road and have been doing that ever since, touring all over the uk and Europe, playing festivals, squats, venues, you name it we’ve probably played it.

Our influences to begin with span pretty much the entire punk spectrum from bands like tragedy and wolfbrigade, to hardcore like black flag, and minor threat, to generation x, and eater to the partisans and gbh. Where our sound differs from other punk bands is that we aren’t afraid to play off other influences outside of the punk spectrum such as blues and folk. I would say the chess records back catalogue, delta blues artists like son house and bands like the gun club who merged those sounds with punk have also been a huge influence on songwriting and the defining intensity.

2. What is your plans for the summer 2012? Any other news you want to share?

We will be releasing our new 7” bigger cages longer chains through household name records on june 25th, We also have a short tour with thrash legends D.R.I in july and will be spending the rest of the summer finishing writing and preparing material for a new album which we intend to release early next year.

3. What do you have for sale and what's the best way to order from you?

We have both our albums on cd, (one on vinyl) two 7”singles, as well as t-shirts for sale the best place to pick up our stuff including our new 7” is from: moraldilemma.bigcartel.com

4. Let's namedrop a few band for the perfect summer mix-tape/cd

I would say start with some crazy arm, a couple of tracks from the new inner terrestrials album, a few from the new skints album, something by the smoking hearts, some apologies I have none, then round it up with a little james brown at the end.

5. Please, add what you want... Have a great summer!

Doesn’t feel very summery at the moment in London, its bloody pissing it down!

Schizo 9 out before 2013

I have a couple of bands ready for interviews now, it's still a bit secret but it will be a good mix as always. I think it will be 44 pages, it use to change during the work. Do you have any suggestions of bands you want me to interview? Or do you wanna write scene reports from your city/country or just anything that fit this zine, like punk/football/society etc...? Write to me then... schizodistro@gmail.com

A big thanx to everyone who have download or read Schizo #8, if you have missed that, take a look here: http://schizofanzine.blogspot.se/2012/05/schizo-fanzine-8.html

Documentary: The day the country died

The Day the Country Died - A History of Anarcho Punk. 

(Roy Wallace / Ian Glasper / english / 2007 / 1:32:20 min)

Ian Glasper

This is one of  the best punk documentarys I’ve ever seen. It’s about the early anarcho punk scene in the UK. And it’s fun to see a british documentary that contains so much more than just the classic 77-bands. The many interviews with people from bands like Subhumans, Zounds, Rubella Ballet, Conflict and Crass are very informative. This is a documentary that portray the anarcho scene in generally and specific events in particularly, like the riots between punks and cops outside Brixton Academy when Conflict was going to play there.

It’s sad but true but many topics are still very current. And what people say about the punk in the early 80.s could be about today as well. This is a very interesting documentary, much because of the topics, it’s more than just all that crap about how sick Sid Vicious was as british punk documentarys use to be about. There is much more meaning in this documentary. The only thing I miss is that it could emerged what band they played when they play music. It is lot's of music and I guess you will find a couple of new bands.

This anarcho wave is far from the 77-wave when the punx just wanted to be rebels in the punk uniform and the bands just looking around for record deals insted of thinking  D.I.Y. This anarcho wave was about “freedom, peace and unity” and 100 % honest. 

Except all good interviews will you see a lot of rare live sequences. And the quality is perfect from the beginning to the end. This movie is fantastic and not a pointer that PC punx can use. It’s more a lot of sense and a big portion of truth. And it's also nice to see how people who were active in bands in the early 80.s have kept their ideals of what kind of society they wanna live in.

Have you seen any good documentarys? Please send me suggestions: schizodistro[@]gmail.com

Behöver hjälp med en gigrapport från PUNKS44

Hej! Finns det någon som har lust att skriva om punk44-helgen till Schizo fanzine? Du får 2 skivor som tack. Skulle uppskatta om du kan skriva på engelska. Hör av er till mig snarast om du vill ta uppdraget - schizodistro@gmail.com Finfina skivor finns att välja mellan, både 7" och CD

Jag hade ju helst önskat att få närvara själv, men tyvärr funkar det inte ekonomiskt. Hoppas ni som är där får det skitroligt, det är ju en hel hög band som man gärna skulle vilja se.
