EARTH CRISIS - "This (New) Record Will Hopefully Be The Earth Crisis Record For This Younger Generation"
May 2, 2009, 15 years ago
EARTH CRISIS guitarist Scott Crouse recently spoke with Justin M. Norton at About.com. An excerpt is available below.
Q: Where do you think (new album) To The Death stands in terms of your past releases?
Crouse: "It feels like a best-of Earth Crisis record with new material. Any person that has followed us can listen to songs on To The Death and say this sounds like it could be on Gomorrah’s Season Ends or this sounds like it could be on Destroy the Machines. We had the benefits of looking back on our past releases and seeing what worked and what missed the mark. We decided to look at our past. We had nine records, and so it’s like a best-of with new songs."
Q: Your shows are known for their physical intensity, both among the band and the fans. Now that you are older will you be able to recreate the same kind of shows you were known for in the mid ‘90s?
Crouse: "I’d like to think yes. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t take its toll a little quicker. We just did a month last May and I noticed myself getting sore a lot quicker and not healing as fast. We are still as energetic as we were, and there has been a mix of older people and a whole new generation that has heard of the band. This record will hopefully be the Earth Crisis record for this younger generation. It’s definitely as tough to be as energetic in your mid 30s as you were when you were 18, but we are trying."
