Patrick dug this out of his vault the other day and scanned it in for the site. This was conducted back in September of 1991 for the Carbondale Nitelife, the local entertainment guide for southern Illinois. It was conducted by Aaron Nauth local fanzine writer and journalist for the CN. It is a big one 724k or so, but it is in high rez so you could read it. Shows you we haven't really changed much in 15 years.

To tell you the truth, I don't even remember doing this.

Well here it is the infamous Impulse Manslaughter interview that was conducted at the Lost Cross House back in January 1987. The tape that was lost for 15 years and then unearthed in a box in my attic, discovered while moving into my new home. The tape had to be manually forwarded to the end and then back in order to loosen it up so that I could digitize it for the MSIG archive vaults. This is an audio podcast interview.

WDBX radio station is an independent volunteer run organization located in southern Illinois in a small college town of Carbondale. Maybe you heard of it? No well, the station, what it lacks in bandwidth is rich in unique and diverse range of music that you cannot hear on the corporate run stations that glut the airwaves in this country. No you won't hear Buttfuck Boys or Brittany Spears here.... Just the stuff that is only found on college and independently run stations. For Carbondale this is a jewel in the Nile. Broadcasting from 7 am to 3 am daily with a thirty mile radius...

Interview

The Traitors are a loud, obnoxious hardcore band that puts on an entertaining show, to say the least. An average show contains nudity, stand-up comedy and an insane amount of physical abuse towards their lead singer, Billy (vocals). Francisco (bass), Marc (guitar) and Noah (drums) are a very tight band, and when you combine them with the unique singing style of Billy, you get a powerhouse of sound. We recently interviewed them after their record release party at Fireside Bowl in Chicago.
