My first introduction to this beast of a band came in late February of this year at the second-annual Upstate Black \u2018N\u2019 Blue Cabin Fever Party at Bogies.\u00a0 A four-piece based out of Western Massachusetts, Before I Had Wings<\/strong> follows in the tradition of Hatebreed<\/strong>, Death Before Dishonor<\/strong>, and Shattered Realm<\/strong> with a brand of brutal hardcore that simply destroys. Forming in 2009, BIHW has unleashed their aural assault on unsuspecting towns all over the Northeast, and have become somewhat of a permanent fixture here in Albany. \u00a0One listen to their debut Burn the Impure <\/i>will show you why \u2013 as it perfectly captures every nuance of their intense live performance; it will leave you reeling and wanting more.\"MAD-7775\"<\/a> \"MAD-7810\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I caught up with three-quarters of Before I Had Wings<\/strong> (vocalist Chris, drummer Nate and bassist Kane) after their set at the Black Phil Memorial Show on Sunday, July 28th<\/sup>. Phil Brewer, guitarist for Albany\u2019s At Arms<\/strong>, lost his battle with cancer recently, and his friends in the scene organized this show to celebrate his life and to raise funds for his family. All three of them were very down to earth and forthcoming with information regarding the history of the band, its future, and \u2013 for Kane \u2013 a cheerful anecdote about his first time meeting Phil.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> So you guys are from Western Massachusetts; what part of Western Mass do you call home?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We\u2019re all from different areas: I\u2019m from Berkshire County; they\u2019re (Kane and D.J. \u2013 their guitarist, who was handling merchandise at the time) from Pioneer and Nate\u2019s actually from the Albany Area.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> That\u2019s right, I remember hearing that. So, how long have you guys been doing this now?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> Before Nate was in the band\u2026all together, like three years. He joined about a year or so ago\u2026Maybe 2009? I think me and the guitarist D.J., we were writing stuff in 2009 but we didn\u2019t start playing shows until 2010.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> So you\u2019ve gone through a few line-up changes since the beginning?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> Basically, the only line-up change has been the drummer. We had a drummer for a long time, but he decided to quit and Nate took over.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> You guys are lucky! It\u2019s so hard to replace a drummer.<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> I know, especially around our area.<\/p>\n

Kane:<\/strong> Nate\u2019s the best!<\/p>\n

Nate:<\/strong> Thank you!<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> Nate\u2019s got it on lockdown.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Nice! So anyways, I remember mentioning in one of my reviews of your previous shows that your sound is comparable to bands like Hatebreed<\/strong> and Death Before Dishonor<\/strong>. Other than these two, can you tell me what other bands have influenced you?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> It\u2019s all different; it depends on who you ask. For me personally, its bands like Shattered Realm<\/strong> and Let it Die<\/strong>, you know? Like \u201904-\u201905 core mixed with beat-down; I like Nasty<\/strong>, I like World of Pain<\/strong>, I like all that shit.<\/p>\n

Nate:<\/strong> Same here, basically. Actually, I like death metal, too, but beat-down mostly \u2013 Shattered Realm<\/strong>, World of Pain<\/strong>, Nasty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kane:<\/strong> I\u2019m into New York Hardcore. We don\u2019t sound like that, but I\u2019m influenced by bands like Citizen\u2019s Arrest<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We\u2019re not afraid to admit that we\u2019re also influenced by Numetal \u2013 bands like Coal Chamber<\/strong> and Machine Head<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Oh, Coal Chamber<\/strong> and Machine Head<\/strong> are awesome! You can\u2019t argue with that!<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> Yeah, we have Numetal riffs and we\u2019re not afraid to admit it. People call us Numetal, we don\u2019t give a fuck what you call us!<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Absolutely, you guys are fucking awesome and I don\u2019t give a shit what anybody says. I\u2019ll put that in print, too!\u00a0 Anyways, you guys are straight edge?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We\u2019re a straight edge band, we just don\u2019t sing about it. In the past, we\u2019ve tried out non-edge members and nothing ever worked out, and not necessarily because they weren\u2019t straight edge, but because they didn\u2019t make the dedication towards the band. But then recently, we decided that we\u2019re just going to stay a straight edge band, we\u2019ll have straight edge members; it\u2019s not a big deal. We\u2019re not going to sing about it, were not going to put \u201cX\u201ds in our name, but we\u2019re all straight edge and that\u2019s what matters the most. I was in straight edge bands [that sang about it] before, and you basically end up cutting your fan base in half because people don\u2019t want to hear about it.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> That\u2019s cool. So I have your first full-length, Burn the Impure, <\/i>which is a great album, really heavy and well-done. Do you have anything else in the works?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We\u2019re working on something right now, but that\u2019s probably going to take a year, maybe two [to complete]; were not rushing it. We have a title already picked out, but we don\u2019t want to give it away. We\u2019ve got a lot of shit going on next year, so if we start recording? Awesome, if not, you know? We\u2019re just gonna take it slow. We\u2019ve got the eight track Burn the Impure <\/i>full-length\/EP, whatever you want to call it, and then the two-song demo we released earlier this year.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> That\u2019s right! I remember seeing that somewhere online\u2026that\u2019s two new songs?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> If you go to Stereokiller you can download it for free; it\u2019s \u201cUnworthy\u201d and \u201cBitter Man\u201d, just look it up\u2026<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Nice.<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We have older stuff, but we don\u2019t talk about it because we don\u2019t sound like that anymore. We don\u2019t like to bring it up, but if people are really interested, just hit us up. We\u2019ll give you a cd.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> I\u2019d actually like to hear that myself.<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We were not influenced by the same stuff we are now. Our guitarist will straight-up tell you he was influenced by like Emure<\/strong> back then.<\/p>\n

Kane:<\/strong> Times have changed.<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> Times have definitely changed since then.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Ok, well we got a good amount of ground covered in five minutes or so. On a final note, say something about Phil. I didn\u2019t know him personally, did you guys?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> I\u2019m from Western Massachusetts, man. I think Kane\u2026<\/p>\n

Kane:<\/strong> I hung out with him one time, and it was sick! We were at a party at Vinnie [Life Sentence<\/strong>]\u2019s house, and everyone was listening to Trapped Under Ice<\/strong> and like moshing in the living room. Then some girl changed it and put on rap \u2013 which was awesome, I thought it was sick \u2013 but Phil got all pissed.\u00a0 He kept trying to run around this girl to change the music, and he had just broken his hand, so he was doing all this weird shit to try and change the music, but he couldn\u2019t really, so that was sick\u2026he was a good dude, though.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> That\u2019s good to know, and it\u2019s good to see that there are so many people out here tonight to support him, even those who didn\u2019t know him\u2026<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been going to shows for probably about ten or eleven years. I probably ran into him, I just didn\u2019t know him by name. I probably shook his hand; but it seems like a lot of people cared about him and that\u2019s what matters. That\u2019s what the scene is all about.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Absolutely, and it seems like hardcore more than any other genre will pull together for a crisis moment or a benefit or memorial. I think that\u2019s great\u2026<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> This is probably the fifth or sixth benefit I\u2019ve been to, if not played\u2026<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Yeah, the Stigmata<\/strong> benefit was pretty wild\u2026<\/p>\n

Kane:<\/strong> I was crushed, literally, like on the floor.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Ha! Yeah, I caught an elbow to the face for that one. I always say that if you catch a head injury at any point, it\u2019s a good show.<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We actually get frowned upon for encouraging violent dancing. We\u2019re really into it \u2013 we think people, like, frown upon us for it though.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Yeah, but Scott Vogel and Jamey Jasta do it all the time.<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> It is what it is.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Right on. So I see you guys have been getting around a lot lately \u2013 you\u2019ve been in Connecticut and New Jersey recently. I know you just finished up, but do you see yourself playing Albany again soon?<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> We\u2019ll be back whenever Mike [Valente] or Dan [Asylum] will have us. We\u2019re gonna take a little time off to write, but we\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Well it\u2019s always a pleasure to see you guys; you guys are one of my favorite bands. I listen to Burn the Impure <\/i>as much as possible. It\u2019s hard though, I\u2019ve got kids in the house and my youngest is just starting to get into music. At four and a half, his two favorite bands are The Ramones<\/strong> and Agnostic Front<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kane:<\/strong> That\u2019s real stuff!<\/p>\n

Chris:<\/strong> Yeah that\u2019s good stuff.<\/p>\n

UM:<\/strong> Well it was a pleasure talking with you guys and I\u2019ll see you inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
