As post punkers make inroads into the mainstream, the Hates thrive on deliciously dour circumstances.  We constantly watch as musicians turn their quest to survive into a fearful rictus of falsehoods.  They are all starting to sound the same and look the same, have you noticed? 

Well, the genie is out of the bottle. Naysayers lose the ground they stand on as our golden years create a new standard. For nearly three decades, I have refused to compromise my music for the sake of popularity. Still standing far out of the safety zone, falling into the dangerous position of appearing out of touch with today or being too caught up in the fast motion of the sentimental 70’s, forces me to reevaluate what is most important for our latest recording project.  We will likely never be on the cover of Rolling Stone, but we will always be the Hates.          

Cheers!
