Our interview with The Doppelgangaz: E smells like wet dog every time it rains

One of my favorite things about music is how something can be completely familiar and yet totally new. It is one of those rare mysteries of the universe, part of some life cycle that was set in motion millions of years ago with the Big Bang and plays itself out time and time again for our amusement.

It's why I never got those people who bitch about out artists borrowing from the past. Without borrowing from the past there would be no new and exciting music, shit, the past 50 years of music is artists borrowing from the previous generations and taking that foundation and renovating the innards till you got something new and fresh. At least now we are smart enough to track the linage of artists now, as opposed to say fans of early rock who thought their heroes...

Our Interview with Seditius: Our pizza is better than yours.

Seditius, they done took my heart away. As far as punk rock goes, these guys just showed me what American punk is always lacking: SOUL! What it comes down to is that Italians really are just better lovers. Come on, 'Merica, how we gonna get over our reputation of being bad in the sack if you just spend all day looking at dwarf porn and squeezing your dick so hard that it's getting gangrene?

Well, looking in the mirror and seeing all the pimples and blemishes just doesn't feel good, so recently I sat down with the boys of Seditius and asked them for their life-changing advice. They told me that if I'm ever going to love someone else, I've gotta love myself first, maaaaan.

But you know what? Banal platitudes aside, ever since talking with...

Our Interview with Ben Enalo: It’s more important to be a truthful gaze into the mirror

This muthafucker Ben Enalo. I just can't stop listening to his amazing and haunting jewel of an album Thinking Lowly From High Places. Even when I am miles away from my iPhone the songs are so etched into my skeleton that they hum throughout my body. It appears as though i am trapped with there glorious goodness for the rest of my days.

I guess this is what it feels like to be Ethan Hawke bruh.

I recently tracked this adorable beach bag of awesome down to find out exactly what makes him so awesome and find out a little bit more about how he crafts this particular brand of beauty.

It was equal parts informative, life altering, terrifying (he was using a Crocodile Dundee knife as a fucki...

Our Interview with Cryptic One: Go friend me on friendster

If you aren’t part of the late 30-40 something set chances are you have no idea who Cryptic One is. Chances are you also think things like instagraming your food makes you bout that life. Mostly your life sucks because your parents decided you were too precious to not get a trophy despite the fact that you rode the bench for a little league team that went 0-21. It is what happens to people when they live sheltered lives bro.

Anyway, Cryptic One is a rapper producer out of New York, specifically out of Long Island, though thanks to his amazing restraint when it comes to cologne use, you would never know that he was from Long Island.

In the mid-2000s Cryptic started to catch a little attention thanks to his criminally...

Our interview with Radiation City: "Dudes' periods don't always do duets like dudettes' do, do they?"

The thing I like most about writing for Syffal, other than the outlet it provides me to describe music with explicit sexual verbiage, is that we only write about music we absolutely love.

We aren't critics and we aren't journalists. Thus, we don't comprehend 'being objective.' And 'puff piece' IS in our vocabulary. And if the music warrants it, we will literally puff the shit out of that figurative pole.

So when it comes to Radiation City I'm all like: Puff, Puff, Breathe. Puff, Puff, Breathe.

The EP they released last year, Cool Nightmare, was one of my favorites. Rad City was the only band to hit the...
