Quick Hit Band Interview: The Lungs



Interview with the band (with Trevor). Enjoy:

What's the story behind how your band started? Billy (the bass player) and I were texting one day about how much we love Dead Kennedys and Black Flag and we came to the conclusion that we should start a band. Twenty minutes later he sent me a voice memo file of him playing this amazing bass riff. So I called up my brother who’s a ripping drummer and one month later we released a seven song EP. We didn’t even play a show ‘til four months or so later.

Are there any unique, funny, high jinks, mundane, etc tendencies that the band is known for – during sets, band practice, otherwise? We’re obsessed with having cool song titles. That’s how we write music: riff, song title, then lyrics. Also, we drink an insane amount of sparkling water. We’re not sober or anything, we just love that shit. We hope to one day be sponsored by Topo Chico.

Own final thoughts: People always think our band name has to do with smoking weed, it doesn’t. It’s more about just screaming your guts out for what you love and what makes your blood boil. Also, all three of us sing so it all makes sense. Our first full length is called “Psychic Tombs” and it’s coming out this summer!!!
