"WE MAKE YOU BANG YOUR HEAD" SAY'S BUCKLEY.
"IT'S DEFINITELY HEAVY METAL," HE ADDS. "IT'S NOT LIKE ANYBODY'S GOING TO CONFUSE US WITH NICKELBACK... IT'S UMCOMPROMISING HEAVY METAL." - EXCERPT FROM YAKIMA-HERALD INTERVIEW
KIM NOWACKI - YAKIMA HERALD
“THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ONE FEARS FOR CHOKEOUT FRONTMAN SHANNON GUTHRIE'S WELL-BEING. LIKE, WILL HE BE ABLE TO SPEAK THE NEXT DAY AFTER ALL THAT GUTTURAL SCREAMING? OR, WILL HE FALL OFF THAT CHAIR HE'SS STANDING ON, PRECARIOUSLY PERCHED OVER THE FIST-PUMPING, HEADBANGING AUDIENCE?
HOWEVER, THESE ARE THE HAZARDS THAT GO WITH BEING YAKIMA'S (DARE WE SAY) MOST METAL BAND. AND ON'S PRETTY SURE GUTHRIE CAN HANDLE IT.”
