ELEGY IBERICA Magazine (Portugal) interviews Angelspit
With Angelspit we have tried to create music which has a genuine punk edge, in the lyrics, the aggression and the instrumentation. Even though we are largely an electronic band we don't want to write clean music, and these influences have a grungy, dirty edge which we have adopted. We have more in common with Nirvana than Covenant in sound and in concept because we're trying to make aggressive, hell raising turbulent music which reflects our world.

An interview with Yen Magazine, April 2006.
ANGELSPIT

Q: How do you describe your sound? (Industrial cyber-punk?)

Harsh, hard, agressive, loud, distorted analogue mayhem!

 

Q: Most debaucherous gig you've performed? (details)

Most gigs are pretty out of control. We give the show everything we have, and we go pretty out of control if possible. Most gigs end in a puddle of sweat, latex and burning transistors.
"The Coven" in Hobart comes to mind. We played there in January we trashed the keyboard rig and blew the power. They were an awesome audience to play to!

 

Q: Cyber-punk has overtones of culture jam – do you see your music as a positive force for social or personal change?

Definitely. We want our music to be empowering and inspiring. We want to incite creative riots within people. We're sick of people having their lives dictated to them by mainstream media and television.
People need to start making their own realities.

 

Q: Who inspires you – music, books, film?

Music: Skinny Puppy, Sonic Youth, The Faint.

Film: Akira, Bladerunner, Dogville, Lemony Snicket

Books/Art: Bill Henson, Butoh dancers, local zines

 

Q: Zoog – One gig in history you wish you had attended?

Alternative Nation 1992 (Nirvana, NIN, Jane's Addiction).

 

Q: DestroyX – Most inspiring women in music now – riot grrls, cyber-punks?

Diamanda Galas, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Annika and Gena (Cobra Killer).

 

Q: Fashion is as important as music in goth scenes, and you promote your look as much as your music – how does your slogan "Fuck Fashion" relate?

Get empowered, don't be told what to wear. Make up your own mind.
We're not telling people that they should look like us, but that they should find their own way of expressing themselves that isn't dictated by mainstream trends.

 

Q: Any closing words:

'Krankhaus', Angelspit's new album is anticipated to be released in April 2006. It pushes sonic and visual boundaries, through dark
convulsing beats, malformed vocals and disturbing imagery.
