Waves Crashing Piano Chords

Waves Crashing Piano Chords, the juggalo, power-noise oddity, is a very controversial entity. I recently interviewed Sean Beard, the bands main man, about his image and his music.

First off, could you introduce yourself and tell us what you do?
My name is Sean Beard.

Your music, to me at least, revolves thematically around deviant sexuality. Is this an attempt to shock or is it a sexual release?
Yes, but more than that I've found it's the arousal from letting all the "skeletons out of the closet" through it that turns me on the most- to the point where the project has almost become about itself.

You often use vocals in your music. Is this solely to have a dynamic live show?
I have a few releases without vocals that are more focused on room placement and just creating a shrill atmosphere, but I leave it at that because it's not representative of the live show which is what's most important to me. In my opinion, the live show would be boring and lose energy without the vocals.

As a juggalo in the noise scene, do you feel you are a breathe of levity in comparison to your contemporaries?
Yes.

What was your entrance into experimental music?
"Cambridge 1969"

You have a habit of crashing shows. Is this something you still do?
It was easy when I started, but at this point I am banned from just about every local venue between Rochester and Buffalo for one reason or another so it's near impossible for me to ever get in the door of most places putting on shows even if I'm not trying to crash them.

Tell me about H8 track stereo. Is it your label?

I started the label in May of 2013.

You put out music on some esoteric formats, Atari cartridge for instance, why did you choose that route?

Most of the dead formats I release I actually have big collections of so to me it's just releasing something that I already collect that makes me want to do it.

What music are you currently enjoying?
Crash test dummies "God Shuffled His Feet" LP

Can you cue us in on any projects or releases?
The "Young Mouth/It Wasn't Even Worth My Back 1-sided 7" single should be available next month- I just approved the test pressing today actually. The "Tunes From The Toilet vol. 2-57 band" 7" compilation that I helped put together for David Voelkl of CONTINUUM should be coming in right after that, and there will be a 13 second long WCPC track on that.

Final Words?
Thank you for contacting me. MMFWCL whoop whoop.
