The latest episode of Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Deaf Club, etc) and his Planet B bandmate Luke Henshaw‘s Cult & Culture podcast is with Tad Miller, drummer of powerviolence pioneers Crossed Out. The synopsis reads:
In the latest episode, Luke and Justin talk with Tad Miller, drummer of one of the pioneers of powerviolence, Crossed Out. Tad recounts his beginnings in music in school, playing percussion with power and theatricality in a way that influenced his “caveman” approach to drumming in his band. He also notes the perhaps seemingly unlikely impact on him of genres like prog and funk, as well as his connection to punk over metal. Crossed Out’s formation and subsequent time before calling it quits, as well as its legacy and importance to others is discussed, with the caveat that you can never count out the possibility of their eventual terrifying return.
[…] Cult and Culture arose as an opportunity to document bits and pieces of the DIY-driven, subversive world of art Pearson identifies with- one that many are not aware of or perhaps have misconceptions about. […] The focus is not intended to be solely on people in any one realm, and because guests are friends and family, the conversations are frank, informal yet well-informed, and genuine.
Listen and watch the conversation below, along with some videos of Crossed Out at Gilman in ’93 and a stream of the Crossed Out/Locust split where both bands recorded the same Crossed Out song, “Practiced Hatred.”
