Decahedron: Disconnection Imminent
By Kevin Jagernauth 21 April 2004

With their first album Disconnection Imminent just under their belts, Decahedron have lived through enough drama for a veteran band. Originally performing and releasing their first EP under the name the Black Sea, the group was forced to change their name due to legal reasons. Then just after finishing recording their debut full-length, Fugazi bassist Joe Lally announced his departure from the group to spend more time with his family. Guitarist Shelby Cinca and drummer Jason Hamacher (who played together in Frodus) asked ex-Roadside Monument bassist Johnathon Ford to fill in,…

Interviews
DECAHEDRON
Kantig und vielseitig
Nachdem die Postcore-Band FRODUS das Zeitliche gesegnet
hatte, spielte deren konspirativer Kopf Shelby Cinca mit
Weggefährte Jason Hamacher unter dem Namen THE BLACK
SEA weiter. Nun haben die beiden mit DECAHEDRON und dem
Longplayer „Disconnection Imminent“ einen weiteren Neuanfang
hinter sich. Und was für einen, sogar Joe Lally von FUGAZI ist auf
dem Debüt zu hören, und so langsam sind DECAHEDRON in aller
Munde. Mir bot sich die Gelegenheit, mich mit Shelby mal über
Comics, Populärkultur und das Dasein als Kritikerliebling zu
unterhalten.
Wieso haben sich FRODUS damals aufgelöst?
„FRODUS haben sich aufgelöst, weil wir…

Ich hab ein wenig damit auf mich warten lassen, aber nun ist es schließlich da. Der zweite Teil des großen SDNMT-Interviews. Und dann doch wieder pünktlich zum Start der Sinnbus-Tour. So ist das im Fanzinerleben. Immer zu spät und doch immer genau richtig. Am Anfang sind noch alle ernst bei der Sache und irgendwann löst sich das ganze dann in Halbwissen auf. Was ich gerade beim Zusammenkürzen dann doch so amüsant fand, dass ich’s beim besten Willen nicht herausnehmen wollte. Der erste Teil…

Sieht man einmal von den Genre-Mitbegründern SONIC YOUTH ab, liegt die kommerziell erfolgreiche Hochphase des Noiserocks schon mehrere Jahre zurück. Und auch in kreativer Hinsicht hat dieses Lärmfeld schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Umso überraschender also, wenn frisches Material ausgerechnet aus der süddeutschen Provinz kommt. TEN VOLT SHOCK sind allerdings längst keine Youngster mehr, starten jedoch erst jetzt mit Album #3 richtig durch.

Wer die Band noch nicht live erlebt hat, wird beim Hören kaum glauben wollen, dass es lediglich drei Mann bedarf, um eine derartige musikalische Dampfwalze in Betrieb zu nehmen und Bewegung zu halten. TVS erzeugen keinen Wall-Of-Noise, sondern…

I remember that day that FRODUS called it quits, and the fact that their final release And We Washed Our Weapons In The Sea would be posthumous just didn't seem fair. They were a band that had legions of devoted fans, but their high-brow "Conglomerate International" motif often turned away the less committed. How could REFUSED, a band working generally in the same sphere go on to sell a bazillion records, while FRODUS struggled to move past its own realm? Eight years since the release of Weapons, FRODUS returned to the stage for a show in Arlington, Virginia in March…

Frodus put out some of the most blistering music that most people have never heard. After a couple great records and a biblically bad run of luck, they disbanded.

A decade later, some of their old catalog is being re-released on vinyl and actually still sounds relevant. Shelby Cinca and Jason Hamacher talk about their unlikely reunion and pairing with Liam Wilson from Dillinger Escape Plan, with whom they’ve recorded a 9 (?) song new EP to be released on Lovitt Records this year.

My Education FULL STREAM!

Hey,

you can stream the whole new record by MY EDUCATION entitled “Sunrise” here. If you like what you hear, please order and support the bands and us.

By the way: due to a fault by the pressing plant, there are no limited, white vinyl for “Vilayer” by KERRETTA. Sorry folks. But it would have taken another month to get them here, and this was not worth the wait I assumed.

Talk soon,
