Interview by Kris Peters
It's hard to believe that Californian power-violence outfit Despise You are only just making their way Down Under for the first time after well over two decades as a band and 16 years of rocking stages around the world.
But here they are and ready to decimate all comers with their aggressive brand of music that has seen them labelled the "angriest band in the world".
HEAVY caught up with one of Despise's You's vocalists Cynthia and found her anything but angry.
"I'm looking forward to travelling out," she smiled. "It's been a while since we travelled outside of the country."
As mentioned, Despise You are touring this side of the world for the first time, so we press Cynthia on whether it's daunting in any way to be so far from home for the first time.
"Not really," she laughed. "It is what it is. It's one of those things where once you get the hang of whatever country you head out to you wanna do it again. I know I still wanna hit a lot of those Polynesian Islands so this will be the first time going down that way so I'm really excited about it."
We ask Cynthia what Australian fans can expect from the shows.
"I would say we are just all going to have a good time," she shrugged. "That's all I can say with Despise You. We always have a good time doing shows and we're a good bunch. We look like trouble makers, but trouble comes to us (laughs)."
In the full interview Cynthia talks more about what to expect from the shows, having Choof as main support for the whole run, being labelled the angriest band in the world, the power-violence scene they are linked to and why, how audiences in different parts of the world react to their live show, the focus on split EP's over albums, why the band didn't play their first live show until 2007 and more.
