It’s difficult, like we mentioned at the beginning of the interview, that the information isn’t really coming from a central location. I’m going to say…[Laughter] First of all, I think we talked about it in an interview somewhere, otherwise I don’t know how you would know about it. I can see a somewhat similar thing that happened in 2008 with the financial crisis and housing crisis - a lot of unconventional venues popped up. We got our dear friend Kayleigh Goldsworthy to play violin on two songs. We have a whole series of them - not just Fucked Up at Frankies. That wasn’t that hard. 2″ is the sequel to “America (You’re Freaking Me Out),” the pissed-off and heartbroken song that the band included on their 2019 album Hello Exile. We did notice though some other reputable podcasts and journalists that I had followed were taking it really seriously almost like hyperbole. At its deepest level, it’s almost an existential crisis. We just needed to do something. We play a lot of those shows. It’s kind of hard to judge just how risky everything is. Exactly one month after our recent “Thunder” track premiere, Venice Beach duo MOVIE CLUB are back with another new interesting instrumental piece... There’s no question that 2020 has been a year to forget. A bunch of us together with varying degrees of other contacts in our lives and who we live with, we aren’t necessarily coming into contact to risk spreading the virus to ourselves and our loved ones. The Menzingers’ new single “America Pt. One of the things I’ve noticed with albums coming out during the pandemic is how certain lyrics hit a little differently with new dimensions then maybe they were initially meant with. With the release, it still seems that shows are uncertain, particularly moving forward in the US for the somewhat foreseeable future. We blended analog and digital instruments in ways we never had before. If we would have left the next day, we would have stayed in the U.S. Maybe there’s another level to it why it’s happening. The entire band is in our early 30s. From Exile was recorded from the band’s respective homes while in isolation during COVID-19 stay at home orders.. The other scary thought is that a lot of these places could get consolidated by the power of the major booking companies. We wrote it in the practice space just ripping through trying to make it really heavy, loud, and on blast. You know? I can think of half a dozen off the top of my head. We do have a surprise plan that I am so fucking pumped for that’s going to be in September. He makes you believe you can do that. But the vibe was very much no one was very worried about it and they had not cancelled South by Southwest in the United States. What made you want to return to that recording process in its current form? It turned out the best version of the song was just that jumpy acoustic version. I definitely felt that with the title of Hello Exile. They cancelled South by Southwest. 2″ is out now at Bandcamp, and all the proceeds are going directly to Campaign Zero and Act Blue’s Community Bail Funds. The protest song is officially back. I don’t understand without specific aid - not just blanket aid or a blanket grant program or any type of assistance program you give to small businesses - these businesses can’t operate at all.

After the past week and a half of widespread police violence, a whole lot of musicians are putting anger and frustration into song. Interestingly enough, we produced this record and engineered the entire thing. Thanks for asking. The way that we were consuming the world was starting to show itself as way more divisive and unwelcoming.

I cannot say enough about how good he was in bringing out the magic of our takes and the edits he did. Unfortunately, all those plans were ground to a halt as exile became the new norm in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Portland” was an extremely ambitious try. But it definitely did. Besides like jiu-jitsu or places where people are going to be screaming into each other’s mouths, intoxicated, in a small area - it’s not looking good for them. I’ve never done any fingerpicking like that before. (Ed. I think all four of us like that acoustic version more than the electric version that we did. It was a growing process for me personally. So I just tried to learn it for a while. There was a giant and intentional disconnect in available information, particularly in the US where we still don’t have the country speaking in voice to tamper the outbreak. That’s obviously not the ideal outcome that we want so hopefully we can figure out some ways to keep these places alive. This includes lobbying for funds to help sustain venues who can’t overcome this long with a shutdown. There’s a lot of money on the line to say the least of anything of whatever you want to use as an indicator. We’re still trying to take it - it might sound cliche - but we are trying to take it day-by-day.

This all comes from the personal aspect of us and we decided to write that record and keep us busy to create some sounds that we can share with people. From there, we have to ask ourselves what we are going to do? He brings alot to situations like that, especially when we are able to be together and collaborate, because his work ethic is so strong.

The Menzingers formed in the wake of Scranton ska-punk/pop punk bands Bob and the Sagets (featuring Tom May, Joe Godino, Eric Keen, and non-Menzingers members Lee Hartney & Curtis Irie, currently of Irie Idea) and Kos Mos (featuring Greg Barnett, Adam Mcilwee of Tigers Jaw and Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, and Leo Vergnetti of Captain, We're Sinking). I’m curious about how the band tracked with the news at home and going into that tour overseas. I’m wondering if you could speak to that and how this changed the band’s thinking if it all about being a band? We would track the songs from our own home studios, share the files via Dropbox, and pray it all made sense when pieced back together. We didn’t really have any idea the metaphorical and figurative notion we were talking about regarding exile would become extremely literal.

First, I just wanted to take a second and ask how you and the band are all doing? A vision of a society, where people are increasingly more obsessed with pointless technology, selfishness and mindless entertainment than life itself.
