Richard Hoak should be no stranger to readers of this blog - as drummer for both Total Fucking Destruction and Brutal Truth, he's been a major part of the history of grindcore, as well as my own history with the genre. Richard was kind enough to hook me up with a copy of TFD's latest album, #USA4TFD, and we made plans to do this interview when his schedule opened up.
We discussed TFD's set at this year's Maryland Deathfest, the writing and recording of #USA4TFD, the surprisingly wide appeal of grindcore, and the philosophical underpinnings of TFD's lyrics. Richard also filled me in on the creation of Brutal Truth's Need To Control - an album that is 25 years old this year, and which served as my introduction to Brutal Truth (and is still one of my favourite grindcore albums of all time).
My thanks to Richard for speaking to me, and to you for listening.
