Rock Eyez' Brian Rademacher has issued an interview with WEDNESDAY 13 (GUNFIRE 76). The following is an excerpt:

Q: Tell us about the new Gunfire 76 CD, Casualties & Tragedies.

A: "Yeah it was something I was thinking about when I got off my last tour, which was the longest tour of my life. It started in the US (then) Japan and right into the UK. When I was on tour we were out with CHELSEA SMILES and the guitarist Todd Youth was talking about a different kind of band and he and I started co-writing some songs together. Once I got home we started sending each other demos by e-mail. We did that for a while and spent the whole summer writing the record. I recorded it here in North Carolina. It’s a lot different then the Wednesday 13 stuff; it’s definitely a rock and roll band. There is nothing metal about it which is something I went out and made sure I didn’t do. I didn’t want to use any kind of effects or any stupid stuff; it’s just a straight up rock and roll record. It’s something I wanted to do instead of doing the solo stuff. I was getting bored with it like a boy with a new tooth, so I had to change it up."

Q: I think you nailed it on your MySpace. You mention some influence and I feel I heard a flavor of ALICE COOPER, NEW YORK DOLLS and others. I went to Amazon and checked all the sample tracks and I got two tracks from your press agents, (which were 'Los Angeles' and 'Rocket to Nowhere'). 'Los Angeles' is a killer track with a great chorus and just a solid song.

A: "Yeah, 'Los Angeles' is my favorite track and the big difference in doing this record was lyrically there was no haunted house zombie songs or graveyard horror stuff. This is basically about what I have been going through with this whole music thing at a professional level. I went on tour in 2002 and stayed on tour, that’s my job. This album is a reflection of all that kind of stuff. The 'Los Angeles' song is about when I lived in Los Angeles for a month late last year and I couldn’t take it. That song is a reflection of what I saw out there and the people I met."
