“First of all, we’ve always considered ourselves the Eve 6 of Emo,” says J.T. Woodruff of Hawthorne Heights. “They were always too pop for grunge and too grunge for pop. We have always been too poppy to be heavy and too heavy to be poppy. Back in the early 2000s, I was way more punk than I am now, and I still sang this song every time it was on the radio. Also, Max is funny on twitter. He changed the twitter handle to Eve Cigs and sucked me back into the blender for life.” “We learned about so many of our favorite bands from comps like ‘Punk O’Rama’ and ‘….Dragging the Lake’ so it is amazing to be a part of something like that for the next generation,” says Seaway on their contribution to the compilation. “We are honored to be a part of the first Dead Formats comp, huge thanks to Pure Noise and PBR for considering us. Descendents are an untouchable band in our eyes, so we didn’t really want to remake “I’m The One” as we were sure it would pale in comparison. Instead we decided to put a more Seaway spin on it, so that fans wouldn’t have to compare our version to the original, but hopefully be able to appreciate both.” “Brain Stew/Jaded” by Four Year Strong and “Fell In Love With A Girl” by LURK, which are also found on the compilation were released last month and can be streamed here: https://lnk.to/deadformats ‘Dead Formats Volume 1’ is now available pre-order on vinyl as well as a limited edition merch collaboration between Pure Noise Records and Pabst Blue Ribbon.
