Interview - Paranoiac

1.Noisy greetings of Perú,Jake! How going the things in Paranoiac?
Greetings from Eugene, Oregon! Well, we just finished up our second
EP. We are excited to get it released, Our friend Tim Mansell from
Senza did all of the recording, mixing and mastering, we are really
stoked on it. Other than that we are taking a break from playing shows
until our tour in June with our pals Deadwitch from Portland. Also
taking some time to work on new material.

2.Tell us how is form this destructive band of raw grindcore called
Paranoiac Hows been the begings?
We started about two years ago in the wake of Dane and I's
powerviolence band Not Cool  and Bucky's grindcore band Facing
Extinction dissolving. We wanted to start another heavy project, but
when we started we didn't really know what we wanted to focus on,
originally we were just going to play grindviolence. Over time we
started adding in more elements of doom, black metal, crust, d-beat
and hardcore. At the end of the day we all just wanted Paranoiac to be
as heavy as fucking possible. The three of us worked on material for a
couple months and tried out a couple vocalists in town before we found
Dominique. Once she joined, our sound pretty much felt complete.

3.Loud discography of Paranoiac?
So far we only have our first EP/Demo recorded and mastered by Jordan
Mustill, we're sadly all out of tapes at the moment. We did three
small runs, two D.I.Y and one through Flossless Audio. It can still be
found on Bandcamp and Youtube. We are going to release a remaster of
the first EP/Demo along with our second EP.

4.Bastard influences at Paranoiac?
We're all a bunch of music nerds. Dane and I really like the Talking
Heads, Bucky is into Mingus and Sun Ra. Dominique is probably the most
metal out of all of us. Some of the bands that are really influential
and pushing us right now are Wildspeaker, Cloud Rat, Fucked and Bound,
Savage, Hazzards Cure, Deadwitch, Senza, Family Vacation, Generation
Decline, Reality Lost, Impulse Noise, A Volcano, Entrail and An Empty
Room.

5.Some members of Paranoiac have another proyect paralell?
Dane is playing drums in a rock band called Against Nature, Bucky
plays mandolin in Brain-ake, Dominique just did some guest vocals on
An Empty Room's new album and I always try to keep busy musically. I
play drums for Broken Dead, my roommate and I are a powerviolence duo
called josh n' jake's band and I make weird shoegaze stuff called
Daytime TV Drama.

6.Jake explain some more about the actual grindcore scene from your
city and recommend some bands.
Eugene has a really eclectic heavy music scene. Most folks out here
that play grind also play many other kinds of music. There isn't a lot
of exclusively grind shows out here, last week there was a show that
had a grind band, a melodic hardcore band, a skramz band and a noise
band on the same bill.  Some great bands from Eugene that we all dig
would be Senza, /root_DIR, Ausekara, Sacred Trees, Egotones, Ninth
Moon Black, Yob, Tolls, Iced, An Empty Room, Entresol, Maestus, Septic
Burial, Vallow, Cigarettes & Milk, Gran Rojo, Black Woofer, Minor Cat,
Xray Vsns, Rot//Woven, Silence Mill and Gash.

7.Paranoiac knows the grindcore scene of Southamerica?
We are pretty unfamiliar with the Grindcore scene in South America,
but we know its thriving and there must be some rad stuff, feel free
to send us any bands from down there, we would love to hear them!

8.Stuff avaliable of Paranoiac at the moment? where the grinders can
find the stuff?
Right now we just have our first Demo/EP up for free on Bandcamp, but
once we put our second album out we are going to be making some shirts
and cassettes to go along with it. Our Friend Albert from NO.inc made
us a gnarly design to use for them, so that'll be rad.

9.Morbid future plans?
After we put out our second album we are going to be working on new
material and getting ready for our tour with Deadwitch in June. Its
going to be centered around PNW Harshfest, we are super excited for
it. Hopefully by then we will have our third album in the works as
well.

10.Last words Jake and thanks for your time in this interview,GRIND ON!
We still don't understand how you found us, but we are glad you did!
Cheers Perú!
