2008: A Year In Review

2009-01-22T13:47:00.001-08:00

2008 was certainly an interesting year to say the least. This year the band saw a great deal of prosperity and advancement as well as struggle and near collapse. It certainly has been a tough one, but this year has shown us that this band truly is a significant part of our lives and we wont let go down without a fight.

We were really lucky to meet a lot of new friends and become closer to old ones. We got to play with a lot of really great new bands this year, and unfortunately we said goodbye to some bands that have really kept this band alive and gave us reason to believe in ourselves over the years.

The first show of the year was played at the Sad Cafe in New Hampshire, which was a place that was crucial to developing who we were as a band in 2006 and 2007. It was our first time up there with our EP and we got a great response to it. This marked a new chapter in our relationship with New Hampshire as we found ourselves meeting more bands throughout the year who were very much committed to developing a scene outside of this place.

February was a really awesome month, getting to share the stage with our good friends In The Face on four separate occasions. As well as playing a sold out show at the Midway Cafe put on by a new friend Rob Nyman with Bomb the Music Industry! and The Fad, to many of our good friends. This month also marked our first trip to the state of Rhode Island and our first Co-headlining show in New Hampshire with Canada's The Flatliners of Fat Wreck Chords. At this point, we were starting to get some positive feedback from a bunch of people who we had a lot of respect for. Even though we were only two months in, 2008 was shaping up to be a good year.

Spring came, but March held a dark cloud over our heads when first, the show that was supposed to be our first with The Brave Little Abacus was canceled for bogus reasons, then the disaster which was... March Mustache Madness. Upon our friends The Fourth Floor Bandits dropping off this show, we were offered the spot which we jumped at the chance to get on because The Flaming Tsunamis were a band that we were looking forward to playing with for a long long time. Unfortunately Murphy's Law was un-avoidable today, what could go wrong did go wrong and caused my most regrettable set to date. Much of the problems that arose from this show were due to the formation of a "side-project" Challenger Deep which featured more than half of the band. There interest had clearly shifted and we clearly had a problem.

The next few months were a really tough time for us, but we played a few really awesome shows in that time. During this time, we depended a lot on Evan, Matt and Chet. In April, we played New York for our first time, unfortunately this would be the last time we would get to see our good friends Public Access and The Fad perform. We were all really honored to play that show, and it was quite the experience. We learned a lot about this band and ourselves that weekend through the long talks on car rides. We met a new friend Brooklyn who graciously let us stay at her place that night after just meeting her. That was a rough weekend as Folly's last shows happened the same time as Public Accesses. Although we never got to play with Folly they are an influence on us and these bands will be missed.

The highlight of may for us was playing with Zox right down the street at Scituate High School. It was awesome getting to sit down and talk to their lead singer Eli about music and whatnot. Our set was on for the first time in a long time and I remembered why I love playing music so much. I made friends with someone that I had a lot of respect for as a musician and after talking, a person. They played "Army Of Me" by Bjork upon my request as well as Pixies' "Where Is My Mind". This is a band that the last time i saw them were getting full beers slung at them, and this really showed me that you will go through shit as a band and a bump in the road doesn't mean its the end. I traded shirts with Eli, who later told me in an email that his mother loves his bright green Interrobang!? t-shirt. Very cool!

Summer came and went, and unfortunately we didn't get to play as many shows as i would have liked due to getting a full time job very last minute. But we did have a couple of awesome shows that really got to shape the collective into what it is now. We played Connecticut for the first time in June and had our last trip to the Living Room in Rhode Island a few days later for Skatopia III. Got to see Fatter Than Albert for the first time in a year, my parents even came to the show just so they could see them play. We also played at the Sad Cafe for the first time in 6 months, for The Fourth Floor Bandits final show. It was sad to see them go, because it was always a good time getting to play with them at the Sad. This show was one of the first that I started really flying by the seat of my pants as far as the collective goes. We played with our good friend Pat Breen on Bass for the first time as well as Adam Demirjian's official first show with us on 2nd Guitar and Matt Aspinwall's first show on Tambourine. We were also joined from time to time by Cody Laplante and Colin Maniella on Tenor Sax and Trumpet without ever practicing with them. The show went really well and we had a great time, that would be our last show for the summer.

We saw our first double header in September, with Bomb The Music Industry! at The Middle East and In The Face's last show at The Sad Cafe. The early show was our first time playing to a sold out crowd at the middle east, as well as our first time playing with The Riot Before and We Are The Union.. Once the show was over, we said our goodbyes and headed off to New Hampshire. We met up with Adam and Matt and played another set with a smaller group of people. Adam played bass for the first time with us and we had a few improvised transitions which were very cool. As some of you may know I had the pleasure of being a part of In The Face in their last few months of a band, so for me it was really tough to see this band go. They were the best friends we could ask for, always a fun time whenever we got to play with them. I will never forget the times playing with them in the band or outside, Massachusetts will never be the same without them. We got a lot of positive feedback from both shows and i think that it was at this point that this is what keeps me happy and makes me want to live.

The next few months, in between schoolwork were spent prepping for our latest recording session, playing shows here and there and working it so that Interrobang!? could play with as little as two people, this would be later known as the Interro-dance Party! We got to play a few awesome basement shows in walking distance from us including ones with The Riot Before, We Are The Union, and Sonic Boom Six, thanks to our friends at 115 and the FFA. In this time we also said goodbye to our friends The Fad, it was quite the shock to hear that we'd never get to play with them again, but it is all for the best. Check out their new bands Let Me Crazy and Backtrack.

We closed out the year with a couple of really sweet shows. One with Westbound Train and Lots of Friends in Penacook, NH, who we had been dying to play with ever since we had to cancel our show in CT with them due to personal reasons. And one with the Have Nots, Brunt Of It and Kill Conrad at the Middle East. The Westbound show really exceeded our expectations, there were a bunch of people there and they were very very nice dudes. They had lots of nice things to say and said that they wanted to do a show in Boston sometime after their short hiatus. The show at the middle east was really cool because there a lot of new faces as well as a bunch of old ones, and everyone seemed to be having an awesome time.

It's been quite the year, and we really look forward to seeing what 2009 has in store for us!
A personal thanks is extended to anyone who attended shows this year!
As well as... anyone that has played with us this year and anyone who has given me faith in this band to keep it alive
We made some new friends that I wanted to give some special shouts to,
Camp Cody Crew - your music is so inspiring and i'm so so glad that we have become the friends that we are now
Silent Distortion - you guys have grown a lot in this year, it is always a pleasure to play with you guys and see your progress as a band
Jack Of All Boxes - you guys are quite ambitious for your age and considering the time you've been a band you've developed a unique sound
New Hampshire Crew - You know who you are, i honestly don't know how you aren't sick of us.
Markie - You've been with us through thick and thin, i'm glad that you aren't just a fan anymore, but a true friend.
Kill Conrad - it's always awesome to be friends with a band that doesn't play ska, not to mention that you guys rock
Matt Aspinwall - <3 thats all
Brocery Family - Thanks for all the hospitality and good times
If you aren't on here, then you probably already know how much i appreciate you

RIP
PUBLIC ACCESS - April 2008
FOLLY - April 2008

Creating A Catastrophe

2008-12-19T22:25:00.002-08:00

ake a look at this man and tell me what you see
never has suffering been so easy
on a darkened stage for all to watch
completely exposed and externally distraught

why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown? so hes all in black
why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown?

Change what you have
change what you hate
so they wont escape
we have responsabilities
to uphold

His position is embarassing to say the least
All eyes upon him from his head to his feet
On a darkened stage for all to mock
Completely exposed more silent than a ticking clock

why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown? so hes all in black
why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown?

Change what you have
change what you hate
so they wont escape
we have responsabilities
to uphold

All Night

2008-12-19T22:25:00.001-08:00

you didnt know she was everything you hated
over and over in your mind you debated
she climbed up to your spine to get to your heart
she didnt know just where to park

all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare
all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare

all this is, just take a sip of wine
screw a lonely man, it'll all be fine
try harder (try harder)
in the morning you'll be smarter

all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare
all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare

When It Reigns

2008-12-19T22:24:00.002-08:00

world over freedom's ceased
Under shadow's rule, west to east
The global economy is soon our own
no tradition's left, no morals shown

Boston's worries are no longer key
When power's to be sought across the sea
Iraq, Korea and the Chinese
will all be in conrtol of DC

We're not there to save, We'll take them to their grave
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Those who try to block the way, will meet their death the very next day
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY

As America's poverty gets the worse
world domination comes in first
Jobless millions join the military
Killing the masses to keep us free

We view the lies everyday
accepted as the truth the very same way
Mass destruction, and terrorist plots
believe in the lie even when they're caught

We're not there to save, We'll take them to their grave
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Those who try to block the way, will meet their death the very next day
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY

Theres no freedom left, Its not war, its theft
Freedom through tyranny, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Don't even try to get out free, the world is ruled from DC
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Dropping bombs from planes. Is this how freedom reigns?
Freedom through tyranny, DEATH TO LIBERTY
and now we all march to the same beat, stealing the land benieth their feet
believing the lie, bringing the death. burning the world til theres no one left

You Want It Back

2008-12-19T22:24:00.001-08:00

Yesterday I woke up
i had the best day of my life
you know i woke up and i didn't ask why

Why? It hit me
that i didn't need you
I don't want that
got better things to do

Because I realized i was
wasting my time with you
i wont sit back and be told what to do

Maybe one day you'll
change your spoiled ways
‘but frankly I aint got the time to waste
cause you say

You want it back, the same old way
But its not what you wanted yesterday
you want it back, that's what you say
but who says you wont change your mind
tomorrow or the next day

because you're fucked, you're crazy
you cant let go
i figured someone ought to let you know
because you're fucked, you're crazy
you cant let go
i figured it was time for me to let you go
And you know its true what they say
you cant always have it your way
im done with that its time for me
to take what's mine

i turned in my badge and my gun
im sorry toots but i really gotta run
i cannot take this every changing lifestyle
i wont hear it one last time that

You want it back, the same old way
But its not what you wanted yesterday
you want it back, that's what you say
but who says you wont change your mind
tomorrow or the next day

Badap Badap

2008-12-19T22:23:00.002-08:00

Nine times out of ten I'll be right (I'll be right)
You cant stop me from doing my best
Each time you look me in the eye (In the eye)
I feel like I want to (Vermont) Explode

Why did your parents tell you
to always give up, to always back down (give in)?
Why did your mother teach you
to always give in? youre wrong as a sin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?

Someone hit me up top (up top!) *high five someone*
Cause I just proved your ass wrong again
Someoneone hit me up top (up top!) *high five someone*
Cause I just made you look like a fool

Why did your parents tell you
to always give up, to always back down (give in)?
Why did your mother teach you
to always give in? youre wrong as a sin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?

Just Regression

2008-12-19T22:23:00.001-08:00

hey whens the last time i asked you a question
way long 'fore all this aggression
hey can i just make one suggestion
nay send it down to repression
this aint progress its just regression

now i tip it back, and drink myself away
cause everythings the same
you count the vote but you dont change what you say
cause everythings the same
it will never change

hey whens the last time i asked you a question

Breathe

2008-12-19T22:22:00.001-08:00

Oh! So we're all put on this earth to die
and i cant think of any reason to live
i'm just looking for a way out
i dont need anybody or anything

so tonight (so tonight) i'm giving up my body
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
every time i suffer

Oh! so I sing the same song of my life
and I visit the same damn places going home
Its like a broken record player always on repeat
I know what words to sing before those words i meet

so tonight (so tonight) i'm giving up my body
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
every time i suffer

So we're all put on this earth to die
and i cant think of any reason to live
i'm just looking for a way out
i dont need anybody or anything

(everytime I suffer)

Ursa Major

2008-12-19T22:18:00.000-08:00

levee, im going to stop the river
stop the river (3x)
levee, im going to stop the river
stop the flood

sent by your hand
off the edge
burnt by the man
the occupied preoccupied
by what is done and said

under oceans
atlantis in the bay
with no quick motions
the ignorant diligent
survive by what they say

levee, im going to stop the river
stop the river (3x)
levee, im going to stop the river
stop the flood

Constant distractions
to erase all trace of your mistakes
divided into fractions
the faction's reaction is never on its way

Our interactions
based on what is projected
leave no reactions
you leave your pride for all to be protected

levee, im going to stop the river
stop the river
levee, im going to stop the river
stop the flood (2x)

Forge On!

2008-12-19T22:17:00.000-08:00

and just when you thought that you weren't wrong
all tables turn and you wish you knew all along
those moments you wish that you had back
your time is wasted and that is clear fact

and though they try to say that it is me and its you
who tops the last one with something new
when will it be the one that really cares
to take me somewhere nice with something that we share

I think some day
i'll get our of here, i'll move away
but just for now i can close my eyes
and never deal with you again

and just when you thought that you were right
we start again, another fight
you ask me why i think the way i do
because the descision is up to me not you

don't think i'm coming around again
cross my heart to pretend that we are friends
you turn to me to make ammends
and i say, i never want to see your face again

I think some day
i'll get our of here, i'll move away
but just for now i can close my eyes
and never deal with you again

Take Point

2008-12-19T22:16:00.001-08:00

Everything fraught with confusion
I dont even know who’s real
who’s an illusion
I’m sailing without a keel

Im sick of all your bullshit
theres no living without the live
but you dont care you buy in
you cant believe without the lie

whats the point of being alive
if theres no greater pain than life
whats the point of being alive
if im already dead inside

Everything In Between

2008-12-19T22:15:00.000-08:00

i'll take a hit of this shit, everything will be just fine
avoid the problems in my hands, erase whats on my mind
i'll take one more for the road and i'm still left feeling cold
you can guess that i'm a mess, will i regret things when I'm old?

Just another story
of full blown teenage glory
filled with years of apathy
and everything in between

and i shall pity the fool
who does just what to be cool
the party is in your head
you eat the shit that you are fed

I can see you turning now and thats just way too bad
Don't ever stop and ask me how you lost the things you one had
Another hit to take the pain, numb my eyes my heart my speach
now that hope is lost and luck is out of reach

Just another story
of full blown teenage glory
filled with years of apathy
and everything in between

and i shall pity the fool
who does just what to be cool
the party is in your head
you eat the shit that you are fed

YOU HAVE A HEAD
SO USE IT

ive heard all those things theyve said
but you can never judge those words as true
and each time i wrote in they said
now boy, whatchya gonna do

well i dont know what my plans are
but i always have a plan b
this place its in my blood my veins
its taking a hold of me

and it feels like five hundred thousand years
my girl since i saw you last
and each day that creeps on by
is getting longer than the last
good catholic boys are always seen
but theyre never ever heard
my man ill be damned if you dont
listen to every single last damn word

they strap me to my chair to do my work
its a cushion of needles and pins
i dance all night with the shadows
mozart in the background and a bottle of bourbon

girl taking me away from you
its vein youre my heroin
its the worst decision i could have made
i need you youre under my skin

and it feels like five hundred thousand years
my girl since i saw you last
and each day that creeps on by
is getting longer than the last
good catholic boys are always seen
but theyre never ever heard
my man ill be damned if you dont
listen to every single last damn word

Duck And Cover

2008-12-19T22:14:00.001-08:00

you're too blind to see
but thats who you want to be
i know the truth
the lies arent good enough for me

as we dehumanize
the world around you dies
and when its all gone
dont act so surprised

duck and cover
believe all the lies
duck and cover
the world around you dies

we want the truth thats it
none of this fucking shit
while youre hiding from the lies
men are lying in the crypt

so when your shipped away
dont you ever say
well i didnt know
the country had gone this way

duck and cover
believe all the lies
duck and cover
the world around you dies

Less Talk More Rock

2008-12-19T22:13:00.000-08:00

I don't care what you like and i don't care what you hate
I just thought I'd see some music for the going rate
if its not what your buying then it's what you're selling
I don't care if you are singing, screaming or just yelling

no one cares about what you know
they all paid money to see a show
don't you think you should impress some girls your age
but you wont do that with your banter onstage

if you've had enough
of those who think they're tough
i really want to hear you say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

talk is cheap
but the tickets not
those who paid to get in say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

yeah sure you can talk watch for how long
cause I've seen bands talk more than play songs
and i know why you think you're so funny
cause you're doing nothing and taking peoples money

I don't care what you like and i don't care what you hate
I just thought I'd see some music for the going rate
if its not what your buying then it's what you're selling
I just want to hear you play for the cash that i'm shelling

if you've had enough
of those who think they're tough
i really want to hear you say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

talk is cheap
but the tickets not
those who paid to get in say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

IF ITS TOO LOUD
THEN YOU'RE TOO OLD

Interro-Dance!? Video

its pretty fucking epic

Interrobang!? - The First Three Years

2008-11-04T22:31:00.000-08:00

As we find our birthday approaching soon,
I find it important that i update this as to what is going on
right now, we are in the studio to record some new stuff.
we are really pleased with what has been done so far.
The tracks that we have recorded so far in no particular order are...

Less Talk More Rock
Duck & Cover
In Vein
Everything In Between
Take Point
Once Again...FORGE ON!!!
Ursa Major

those will hopefully be released as soon as we finish them
also, we are working on compiling some footage that we have taken over the years that will be turned into a short documentary chronicling the first three years of this band. Posible sale of a DVD if anyone is interested. We have footage ranging from the first show that we have ever played up till footage of our last show at the middle east with Bomb The Music Industry!.

Also, if anyone has seen Interrobang!? in Allston lately, we have been trying out a new format which I believe will work to our advantage. We have begun to compose accompaniments so that a drummer or bass player is not necessary for us to play a show. These versions are inspired much more by Electronica and Hip Hop so therefore we have entitled these endeavors the Interrobang!? Dance Party. We may or may not release some of these mixes in the future somewhere online for free. This is an exciting thing for us and we've had a whole lot of fun with this so far.

We will hopefully have some snazzy shows to add to our calendar soon!
But keep your eye out for a flyer and facebook event for our 12/14 show at the middle east with the have nots and kill conrad, it is going to be a show not to be missed with a great cast of characters.

Also feel free to comment with questions concerns comments or complaints!

To have some place where we can write our ideas and let people know what is going on in our world. What we have been up to and what is going on around us. Also let you know about things that are going on with friends bands and related projects. ALL IN ONE PLACE, plus a whole lot more. This account is open for anyone in the collective to write in. I will write more soon, I just wanted to officially start this account.
