Hi Tom… Second release for the band in a short time period. It seems now’s the time to be productive and tour, right?
T: Hello! Yes, that is right. We’re playing some gigs in Sweden after the release. We’re booking a tour for the autumn in Europe as well and between now and then we got some summer festival gigs in between.
How was the time between your debut “Restless, Young, Hungry and Free” and the new one?

It had been a long time since I listened to a good punk rock album, and then I listened to “We Spread Diseases” by Vietcong Pornsürfers. The band consists of four Swedish guys that in their own words “started playing simply to make up for the lack of true cool rock bands, and too many old long gone past the best before date acts”. Their sound is closer to the fast rock‘n’roll that bands like Deadboys, Social Distortion, Iggy & The Stooges or even Motörhead used to play, rather than pure punk of the Sex Pistols or NOFX, Rancid and Penywise.
Hi Morten… almost a year after the stunning “It Comes Alive” 2CD/DVD and various touring, you’re back with a great studio album! It seems that you’re on fire or something huh?
M: Hi everybody... and thanks. Glad you like them. Well, it seems we’ve found a line-up that really works well. On-stage, off-stage, writing songs etc. We get along great and have a lot of fun when we're hanging out and rehearsing, which is really important in my opinion. All those things add up to the finished product. So hell yeah!!! We’re on fire.

Ape Machine is a stoner/heavy rock band from Portland, Oregon that have just released their 3rd album entitled “Mangled by the Machine”. The band describes this album as “an angry conceptual piece of music that takes a cue from the masters of the 70s progressive masters, yet reflects the immediacy of the chaotic world all around us”. On the other hand, I would describe it as a kick-ass heavy album that you want to hear over and over again.
