Issue 53 of Black Velvet Zine is out now and includes:
Good Charlotte’s Dean Butterworth tells Black Velvet how it feels to be an official member of Good Charlotte, how blown away he is by their fans, how bands that change music don’t usually set out to do that, and how Chic Coria may influence the next GC opus.
The Used’s Jeph Howard and Dan Whitesides chat about the band meaning everything to them, how the US is a scary place, how radioactive bullets are fucked up and Dan tells us he’s living a dream that he doesn’t want to end.
Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath talks about sweatshops, illegal immigration, concert volunteer work and Chris Chasse’s departure from the band (and Zack Blair’s subsequent arrival).
Head Automatica’s Daryl Palumbo and Jarvis Morgan Holden discuss online blogging, parental approval, their love of UK music and achieving success without being larger than life.
Madina Lake’s Nathan Leone tells us how he likes to hide in a song, how money and fame are the last thing on his mind, Mateo Camargo tells us how their previous bands were jealous of each other, and Dan Torelli tells us he’d rather hang a book from their fans on the wall rather than a platinum disc (although they don’t like using the word ‘fans’).
Kim Kline talks about everything happening for a reason, how she’d love to work with Stevie Nicks, how her parents’ support is the best feeling in the world and how record labels can calculate & formulate what they think is a hit song all day long, but it’s really the general public who’ll decide.
Lights.Action!’s Patrick Currier tells us how he’s wanted to make music since the age of seven, how he never judges a band until he’s seen them live, how they’re taking their time with their debut full-length release and how their aim is to be a classic rock band.
