-Привет, приятель! Представься.
Я Грэм, барабанщик.
-Поведай нам
историю Napalm Райд. Как случилось,
что вы собрались и начали играть такую музыку?
Мы начали играть в 2009 году, Клэнси
(вокалист),басист и барабанщик. Я изначально играл на гитаре в то время как
Клэнси просто пел. Примерно через год после того как мы собрались, играя на
местных концертах и выпутив демо, мы решили, что мы должны были внести
некоторые изменения в состав, так что я сел за барабаны, Клэнси играл на басу и
пел, и мы нашли нового гитариста. После этого гитарист нас кинул прямо до
нашего первого американского турне с CONTAGIUM, Клэнси стал гитарист и мы
вернули нашего старого басиста. Потом он оставил нас, и мы нашли другого
басиста, но он нам не подошел, и мы нашли другого .и вот как группа выглядит сегодня: я на
барабанах, Клэнси гитара и вокал и Том на басу. За все это время мы выпустили
несколько 7 "с и MLP и гастролировали как можно больше.
-Играют ли участники группы в других проектах?
Мы Все были
вовлечены в другие группы на протяжении многих лет и играли на гигах вместе большую
часть нашей жизни. Том играл в ABYSSED, сейчас он имеет новую группу под
названием DIVE BOMBER, а также играл в Metalian время от времени. Я играю в
HELLACAUST, VERSIFIST и также сделал несколько концертов со старой группой под
названием DBC (DEAD BRAIN CELLS).
-Как этот
вопрос банально не звучал, но чем занимаются участники коллектива помимо
музыки?
Мы Все работаем, чтобы поддержать дерьмо, которое мы делаем с
группой (туры / релизы и т.д.). Клэнси и Том живут в Монреале, Квебек. Я
живу в Галифаксе, Новая Шотландия. Клэнси работает с железом, строит мотоциклы,
я работаю в качестве повара, а также в спектакле, Том работает водителем. Наша
повседневная жизнь посвящена местной сцене, всегда помоч и организовать шоу.
-Что вы можете сказать о канадской краст-сцене?
Существует ли она?
Отмечу, что
канадская сцена немного меньше разделена чем в Америке и Европе. тут меньше
людей в множестве городов, и люди, как правило, поддерживают различные группы и
стили. Существует очень сильная сцена панка в Монреале, Торонто и Ванкувере.
Панки со всей страны приезжают на фестивали, такие как VARNING в Монреале, NOT
DEAD YET в Торонто, Rrroooaaarrr Fest в Монреале и теперь dead DISTORT
VANCOUVER фест, который был последний раз в прошлом году. Есть тонны хороших
групп по всему Канаде и хорошая поддержка панк сообщества, которые вовлечены в
это.
-В каких городах
вы выступали? С какими бандами вы играли на одной сцене?Да и вообще самый
интересный ваш концерт? Расскажи об этом.
Мы Играюем во
всей Канаде, США, Мексике и Европе. Мы действительно сделали это целью группы,
чтобы бывать в местах,в которых мы никогда не были прежде и действительно
принимать участие в международном панк-движения, а не смотреть на это в нашем месте пребывания в Галифаксе. Мы играли
с очень многими группами, было бы невозможно назвать их всех. Мы играть с
такими группами, как DOOM, DISORDER, MOB 47, NAPALM DEATH, RAW NOISE, а так же
с более молодыми группами CONTAGIUM, INFERNOH, PERDITION, CONDITION, DESPARAT,
BLOODY PHOENIX, ZYANOSE, RADIATION. Я мог бы продолжать и продолжать есть очень
много классных команд, новые и старые, и много удивительных городов где мы
играли.
-Не размышляя в
голову приходят две группы из Канады, это Inepsy и Iskra. Общаетесь ли вы с
ними? Что можете сказать о этих группах?
Да мы знаем,
ребят из этих групп, у нас было удовольствие играть на концерте, организованным
людьми из группы Искра во время посещения Виктории, Британская Колумбия, и
ребята Inepsy все еще очень активны в сцене Монреальского панкрока, также все
они являются нашими хорошими друзьями. Обе
великие группы, в которой играют отличные ребята, Inepsy я неоправданно
пропустил.
-Хочу сказать,
что вы на данный момент довольно таки популярны в россии. Многие знакомые
показывали мне ваше видео на песню "Why?". Это действительно круто!
Видео было
снято только изза того что наш друг хотел попробовать заснять нас. Он в
основном снимает видео со скейт тусовок, катания на скейте и прочее. Он просто
пришел к нам на репу, мы играли песню
несколько раз, и он снимал это, и мы были очень поражены качеством и крутизной
записи. Честно это было сделано просто для себя, для удовольствия, но оказалось
лучше, чем ожидалось, и это было удивительно, сколько людей посмотрели его,
люди, кажется, знаю эту песню, когда мы играем ее на гигах.
-Итак, теперь
касаемо грядущего релиза вашего альбома на СД. Хотелось бы
услышать несколько слов о вашем альбоме "Storm". О чем тексты
песен? Что вы хотели передать слушателям
через эту музыку ?
"Шторм"
был записан в декабре прошлого года в конце 2013, и мы получили его как раз
вовремя для нашего европейского турне мая 2014. Лирика (которые все написанные
Клэнси) выписана из его психологического состояния, из его повседневной жизни,
которые в конечном итоге получились вовремя его переезда в Монреаль. Наряду с
любой группой таких политических и социальных взглядов, мы имеем тексты зачастую основываются на наших
собственных личных разочарований, внутренне и внешне. "Шторм" был
идеальным название для него, поскольку он отражает как звук и хаотическое
мышление Клэнси было во время написания.
-Вы в курсе
событий, которые происходят на украине? Что ты думаешь об этом?
Я знаю про конфликт с участием Украины, Крыма и
России, я всегда имею свою точку зрения,
так же мы видим описание этой ситуации в североамериканском прессе.
-Что вы знаете о
россии? с чем она у вас ассоциируется? Хотели бы вы
посетить россию с туром?
Опять Будучи в Северной Америке наш взгляды России
несовершенны и диктуется нашим правительством, которое хочет, чтобы это было
наше отнощение к россии было негативное. То, что мы слышим о ней это правое
движение, угнетение, национализм (или патриотизм?), Независимо от того, сколько
вы читали о этом месте, это всё
??кажется очень поверхностной информацией и я не притендую, чтобы полностью понять все это,
как посторонний, поэтому лучше посетить и поговорить с людьми. Я хотел бы посетить
Россию и играть, если это возможно, от того, что мы понимаем, это может быть
трудно сделать так, но мы очень за это.
-Вроде бы все
интересующие вопросы задал, так что передайте пожелания вашим поклонникам в
россии и снг. Играйте такую же
мощную экстремальную музыку! Спасибо за ответы!
Спасибо приятель! Я надеюсь, что мы можем встретиться лично однажды и
спасибо за поддержку!

- Hey, buddy! introduce yourself.I'm Graham, I'm the drummer.
- Tell us the story of Napalm Raid.
how is it that you got together and started playing the music.
Well we started in 2009 with myself, Clancy (vocalist) and a different bassist and drummer. I originally played guitar while Clancy just sang. After about a year of writing, playing local shows and releasing a demo, we decided that to continue as a band we had to change some of the line-up, so I becamse the drummer , Clancy played bass and vocals and we got a new guitar player. After that guitarist flaked out on us right before our first American tour with CONTAGIUM, Clancy became the guitarist and we got back our old bassist. Then he left and we got another bassist, then he had to be replaced and we got another one....and that's how the band stands today: me on drums, Clancy on guitar and vocals and Tom on bass. Over all this time we released a few 7"s and an MLP and toured as much as possible.
- Played by members of the group in other projects?We've all been involved in other bands over the years and have played shows together for most of our lives. Tom played in ABYSSED, has a new band called DIVE BOMBER and also played in METALIAN at times. I play in HELLACAUST, VERSIFIST and have done some shows with an old band called DBC (DEAD BRAIN CELLS).
- Ahaha. as this question did not sound trite, but what do the members of the band besides music?
We all work to support the shit we do with the band (tour/releases etc.). Clancy and Tom live in Montreal, Quebec. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Clancy works with metals and builds motorcycles, I work as a cook as well as in stage production, Tom works as a driver. Our daily lives are dedicated to the local scenes, always helping and putting on shows.
- What can you say about the Canadian crust scene? Does it exist?I find that the Canadian scene is a little less segregated then in America and Europe. There are fewer people in alot of the cities so people tend to support a variety of bands and styles. There is a very strong punk scene in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Punks from around the country convene for festivals like VARNING in Montreal, NOT DEAD YET in Toronto, RRROOOAAARRR Fest in Montreal and the now dead DISTORT VANCOUVER fest which had its last installment last year. There are tons of good bands all around Canada and a good supportive community for punks to be involved in.
- In which cities you've played? With what bands you played on one scene?
And generally most interesting your gig? Tell us about it
We've played all over Canada, United States, Mexico and Europe. We really made it a goal as a band to get to places we had never been before and really take part in the international punk movement rather than watch it go by from our seclusion in Halifax. We've played with so many bands it would be impossible to name them all. Of course getting to play with bands we've obssessed over our whole lives like DOOM, DISORDER, MOB 47, NAPALM DEATH, RAW NOISE is always a mind blower, as well as seeing more contemporary bands like CONTAGIUM, INFERNOH, PERDITION, CONDITION, DESPARAT, BLOODY PHOENIX, ZYANOSE, RADIATION...I could go on and on there are so many great bands new and old and many amazing cities we have played.
- Without reflecting come to mind two groups from Canada, it Inepsy and Iskra. Do you communicate with them? What can you say about these groups?
Yes we know both of them, we've had the pleasure of being hosted by the folks in Iskra while visiting Victoria, BC and the Inepsy guys are still very active in the Montreal scene so they are friends. Both great people and great bands, Inepsy is definately missed.
- I want to say that you are at the moment pretty popular in Russia.
Many friends were showing me your video for the song "Why?." It's really cool! Tell us about clip shootings
The video was just something a friend of ours wanted to try. He was mostly accustomed to shooting skate board videos. He just came to our jam space and we played the song a few times and he edited it and we were very blown away buy the quality. It was honestly just something we did for fun that turned out better than expected and it's been crazy how many people have checked it out, people seem to know that song when we play it at shows.
- So now, with regards to the upcoming release of your album on CD.
Would like to hear the a few words about your album "Storm". What are the lyrics? What do you want transfer to listeners through the music?
"Storm" was recorded last December at the end of 2013 and we got it out just in time for our European tour in May 2014. The lyrics (which are all written by Clancy) are written out of frustration of his daily life which eventually promted his move to Montreal to get him out of his rut. Along with any polital or social views we might have our lyrics are often rooted in our own personal frustrations, internally and externally. "Storm" was the perfect name for it as it reflected both the sound and the chaotic mindset Clancy had while writing.
- Are you aware of events that occur in the Ukraine? What do you think about this?I follow the conflict involving Ukraine, Crimea and Russia but I always question my point of view as it is determined by what we see in NORTH AMERICAN press.
- What do you know about Russia? what is your association?
Would you like to visit Russia with the tour?
Again being in North America our view of Russia is flawed and dictated by how our government wants it to be preceived. What we hear about is right wing oppression, nationalism (or patriotism?), no matter how much you read about a place it all still seems very foreign and I would never claim to completely understand, as an outsider, which is why it is better to visit and talk to people. I would love to visit Russia and play if it is possible, from what we understand it can be hard to do so but we are very much up for it.
- Seems to be all interesting questions askedso that send wishes for your fans in Russia and CIS countries.
Play the same powerful extreme music! Thanks for the answers! -Thank you friend! I hope we can meet in person some day and thank you for the support!
