GOD FORBID frontman Byron Davis is featured in a new interview with KNAC.com. An excerpt is available below:
KNAC.com: Your guitarist Dallas Coyle has been very outspoken on a couple metal websites in recent years. Do you think this has had a positive or negative impact on the band? Are you all supportive of Dallas shooting from the hip on hot button issues?
Davis: "Dallas is a grown man with his own opinions. I may or may not agree with some of the things he says but being an American he is guaranteed his right to say what he thinks, thanks to the Constitution of the United States. So what can I really say about it? I think though that his outspokenness shows that musicians can be intelligent and have something more valid to say than I want to party or other nonsense. Being in the positions we are in I feel it is important to speak with substance. You have the capability of reaching massive amounts of people, so why not say something worth saying? I will always be supportive of his endeavors whether they may be right or wrong in your eyes. He is like my brother. This is the philosophy of our band, to treat each other and everyone around us with respect. But don't get it twisted, if you do anything deemed offensive there will and can be consequences, but we always hope for the best."
