I am sure in your career as musicians you have heard the phrase "what music scene" "there is no music scene in SA" etc. http://www.punk.co.za/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=886 I sat down with Moose and Stebs from Not Guilty and asked them some questions…… 1. Were and how did it all Start? We started off 2 weeks before our first gig at Find the Way in Table View, we just wanted to be a band and have fun, we sucked badly at the first gig. http://www.punk.co.za/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=754 1. How different is the sound of "Leek" since you haven't got your trumpet player anymore? (only the trombone left) Are u still distinctively ska punk (or whatever)? Andrew: Well, we’re still playing most of the old songs without the trumpet, so I guess we havn’t changed that much. But we are moving to a lot heavier and a lot less ska these days. I guess we’re still ska-punk but a lot more hardcore. Sort of AFI meets Link 80. William: Yeah, gone quite a bit harder. Mpho was more into hip hop and chilled stuff where as the rest of us grew up with metallica, maiden, korn slayer etc and then moved onto punk. So with the chilled influence gone we're letting loose with the energitic hard stuff. http://www.punk.co.za/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=660 Check out the "Features" section of Nifty records. for a brand new interview with Cape Town's AFTERTASTE.
