We did an interview with I Am A Lungfish Song that was translated into French. Here is the English version. Go and read that excellent blog here.
What
is the story behind Total Victory?
I
(Dan) had split from an old band and was working a shitty job and
living in an unfamiliar town and needed some kind of thing to occupy
my time and brain. I put an ad out in 2007 for people wanting to play
noise-rock kind of like XBXRX and Skin Graft/Gold Standard Labs kind
of music. Matt L (bass) and Matt E (guitar) joined, followed by James
(drums) one drunken day at a festival.
We
realised we couldn't play at 200kph like those bands so we slowed
down and tried to not sound so forced and began to incorporate our
regional identities and actual personalities a little more. Martin
(guitar) was a friend and fan who we asked to add guitar to The
Pyramid of Privilege and
gradually we forced him to join full-time.
If
it were a film it would be a strange story about a group of people
who were nobodies at home and vaguely interesting to people somewhere
else. Like the opposite of Cool
Runnings (which
was called Rasta Rockett
in France).
