Old Dead Stop Interview

Dead Stop Done With You Deranged Test Press

Today my boy Stief Positief e-mailled me the following short Dead Stop interview he got from his Breakaway Fanzine co-editor Jonas Kinet back in 2003.


Dead Stop live at Visioen Brugge

Since Dead Stop is the best band from the '00s and best Belgian band ever I didn't want to hold out on you.

Copied and pasted straight from the e-mail, what you see is what you get:

> Subject: Dead Stop
> Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2003 11:40:12 +0200
>
>
> -you guys didn’t play for quite some time. What happened?
>
> First of all, we're lazy. Besides that, most shows they offer us suck. Do people really think we're gonna play with Morda?
>
>
> -are any of the members in other bands right now?
>
> Michiel is in Between The Lines, Coorde in Last In Line.
>
>
> -was it a specific choice to release all your stuff on different labels up till now? Or did that just happen?
>
> We did the demo by ourselves, logically if you ask me. Bands whose demo is put out by a label are morons. End of discussion.
>
> The 7" came out on Reflex, the guys seemed to be cool in the beginning and were the first to offer us to put out our 7". They run their label as a joke. Hilarious.
>
>
> -have you ever experienced traffic violence, coming from a scene likewise to the one you describe in ‘crosswalk’?
>
> The hardest shit that ever happened on the road is when Coorde stepped out of his car to punch the guy of the car that drove behind him in the face.
>
> Another incident that happened was when Tuffin attacked a police officer because he was giving him a parking ticket.
>
> Hard times.
>
>
> -what do you hate the most about today’s society?
>
> Farmers and the Set-Up.
>
>
> -have you ever got banned from a club for thrashing it? Any good stories about that?
>
> Wer're banned from Dendermonde, that's it.
