Formed in 2009, More Faster has self released an EP, Bring Back the Melody and a full length, Asbestos. I lured Sky, Brian and Patrick to my apartment with a promise of relative personal bodily safety and candy on a Friday evening.<\/p>\n<div>Brian UM: Who are you and what instruments do you play?<br \/>\nSky: I&#8217;m Sky and I only sing now.<br \/>\nPatrick: I&#8217;m Patrick and I play the bass<br \/>\nBrian: And I&#8217;m Brian and I play drums.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: So you guys just recorded an EP.<br \/>\nSky: heh. Yeah<br \/>\nBrian: We were going to release that, but we decided it didn&#8217;t sound good enough.<br \/>\nSky: It sounds good, but we want it to sound awesome. We want to shop it to labels and shit.<br \/>\nBrian: Cause we&#8217;re tired of hearing all these awful metalcore bands that have these big, expensive sounding recordings and we have this sort of&#8230;<br \/>\nSky: Homemade&#8230;<br \/>\nBrian: Basement sounding bullshit.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: I&#8217;ve been noticing lately a lot of pop punk bands have been going with lower-fi recordings. How do you feel about that?<br \/>\nPatrick: I think the first time I remember someone commenting on one of our recordings I remember them saying &#8220;this is good, this is low fi.&#8221; and I was like is that a compliment?<br \/>\nBrian: I guess when you listen to bands like the Bananas and Operation Cliff Claven, they were really low fi stuff.<br \/>\n(Patrick laughs)<br \/>\nBrian: Why&#8217;s that funny, dick?<br \/>\nPatrick: What other obscure bands can I look up on my ipod here? Let&#8217;s just name really obscure bands, so no one will know what we&#8217;re talking about. People are really gonna love this interview.<br \/>\nBrian UM: Yeah, this is for a metal publication too. (everyone laughs)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: Brian, this question is directed toward you, since you&#8217;re the encyclopedia of obscure pop punk bands. What bands would you consider yourself to sound most like.<br \/>\nBrian: Oh&#8230;.<br \/>\nSky: real quick&#8230;I&#8217;ve had a lot of people tell us we sound like Osker. I&#8217;ve never written a song and been like &#8220;Osker really inspired the shit out of this one&#8221;<br \/>\nBrian UM:I could see it though, because this area seems to have a lot of Osker fans. We may have the largest concentration of OSker fans in the world.<br \/>\nBrian: I think generically &#8220;empty&#8221; sounds like Blink 182.<br \/>\nSky: Yeah, i get that a lot.<br \/>\nBrian: and I think some of our ska songs are like Operation Ivy or Suicide Machines.<br \/>\nBrian UM: I guess you decided to not mention obscure bands after all.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: Next question: How many bands are you in?<br \/>\nSky: I guess two.<br \/>\nPatrick: Two<br \/>\nBrian: Four<br \/>\nBrian UM: How do you guys find that effects your ability to play shows, or record? Especially Patrick. Your a full time college student in Oneonta and that takes you out of the area a lot.<br \/>\nPatrick: I don&#8217;t like being at school, so I pretty much find excuses to come home. If someone asks me to do a show I&#8217;m just like &#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;ll totally come home to do that&#8221;<br \/>\nBrian UM: Sky how do you find this effects your ability to concentrate on one band and is the band you all consider most important?<br \/>\nSky: I&#8217;m unemployed and don&#8217;t go to school, so being in two bands really doesn&#8217;t cause a problem. I don&#8217;t feel like I put one in front of the other. But this band, I write the lyrics and shit. So I put a lot more energy into this, just because this is what&#8217;s in my brain all the time. This is my main project.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: So, you guys changed your name to More Faster and started playing somewhat slower. Explain yourselves.<br \/>\nSky: I think the names perfect for us, because we play fast but we&#8217;re also kind of retarded. So us slowing down and changing the name to More Faster just makes sense.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: Patrick, I notice you look embarrassed on stage a lot when Sky&#8217;s talking. How long do you think it&#8217;ll be before you quit the band in a huff?<br \/>\nPatrick: I don&#8217;t know.<br \/>\nSky: It was way worse a long time ago. You have to admit I&#8217;ve gotten a lot better.<br \/>\nBrian UM: The question was for Patrick, Sky.<br \/>\nPatrick: I don&#8217;t know. He pisses me off sometimes. Sky&#8217;s like &#8220;Oh we&#8217;re going on in five minutes? I&#8217;ll be back in fifteen.&#8221; Then he finally gets there and he&#8217;s like &#8220;I&#8217;d like to say some words before we play'&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: As a pop punk band that plays an older style of pop punk, how do you feel about current pop punk bands that play in tight pants, with dropped d tuning, double bass pedals, scream vocals, etc?<br \/>\nSky: I almost don&#8217;t want Brian to answer this&#8230;<br \/>\nBrian UM: I feel like I&#8217;m directing it to Brian.<br \/>\nSky: Before Brian answers because he&#8217;s just going to go on and on and say &#8220;you know what your problem is buddy?&#8221;<br \/>\nBrian UM: that&#8217;s actually what I&#8217;m looking for&#8230;<br \/>\nSky: I think there&#8217;s too many bands that throw around the pop punk label. I&#8217;ve been calling it pop rocks for a while cause it&#8217;s just watered down bullshit, like All Time Low. And it&#8217;s either watered down and Disney and they still want to call it punk because it&#8217;s four chord, or it&#8217;s bands like Set Your Goals, where it&#8217;s dropped d and these breakdowns and they don&#8217;t actually fit. It&#8217;s just like why are you doing that? I know music evolves and stuff, I just feel like it&#8217;s so different from what pop punk was and is, they shouldn&#8217;t call it that because it&#8217;s just rubbing shit on the name.<br \/>\nBrian UM: Or like applying a previous label to an unrelated type of music. Sort of how post hardcore is misused today.<br \/>\nSky: Exactly, I&#8217;m not going to call us a grunge band.<br \/>\nBrian: My whole thing with pop punk is this. Even with like old Blink 182&#8230; it had the snottiness. It was offensive. Some of it dealt with politics. It had punk roots to it. Now it&#8217;s like all these bands have no clue. It&#8217;s like &#8220;you&#8217;re singing about straight edge and you don&#8217;t know who Minor Threat or 7 Seconds is?&#8221; It&#8217;s like come on.<br \/>\nPatrick: They want to play breakdowns but they don&#8217;t want to get beat up.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: Sky, I listen to your songs, musically they&#8217;re very happy and upbeat. But lyrically, they&#8217;re sort of um&#8230;sad. Do you write the lyrics seperately and put them to existing music?<br \/>\nSky: I write a song, I&#8217;ll write the music. When i write lyrics, I write them to vent. So it&#8217;s like I&#8217;m a happy guy, because my music can be angry and sad.<br \/>\nBrian UM: Also, you have my phone number. So if you get sad, call me before you hurt yourself.<br \/>\nSky: It&#8217;s never gotten that bad.<br \/>\nBrian: It&#8217;s more like penis envy for Sky<br \/>\nSky: It&#8217;s not that it&#8217;s little, it&#8217;s average. But the rest of me is big. So it looks small.<br \/>\nBrian UM: How tall are you?<br \/>\nSky: 6&#8217;4<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brian UM: I was around of a lot of pop punk bands in the late 90s and they were mostly in it to get laid. How&#8217;s that going for you?<br \/>\nSky: If pop punk gets you laid, nobody told us. Nobody listens to us and says &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna blow those dudes.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><var><\/var>Brian UM: So, what&#8217;s next for you guys?<br \/>\nSky: Better recordings, because we want to shop labels. We&#8217;ve been doing everything by ourselves, and any help is good.<br \/>\nPatrick: Also, we&#8217;re playing with Patent Pending at the Loft in Poughkeepsie on 2\/17.<br \/>\nBrian UM: Thanks for taking the time to do this, guys.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Check out More Faster at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/morefaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/morefaster<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.morefaster.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.morefaster.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>-Brian Lawrence<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More Faster is an upbeat pop punk and ska band from Orange County, NY.
