What was your Clockenflap experience like, back in 2014? Clockenflap was a great festival. The last time I was there it was the tail end of the Umbrella Revolution, and me and a couple of other people went down to the camp and spent the day chatting. That was a really memorable thing to do. Obviously, that experience won’t be repeated but it was really unique, and left a really lasting impression.
Did you manage to see much else of the city? We were in and out; that’s the downside of touring and the festival circuit. You don’t get much time off.
How did the new album, Combat Sports, get its name? Until the very last minute, it was supposed to be called something entirely different, but we changed our minds really late in the process. It’s kind of a reference to a lyric off the record. That’s something we’ve done on every album up to this point. It was something that was really visceral and really powerful and primal, and that was something that we felt suited the album better. It also looks fantastic on a t-shirt. There were more songs recorded than made the album. How did you decide what made the cut? We’ve always done this. On every album, we’ve written a shit ton more than what ended up on the record, so that wasn’t necessarily new. But what was different this time around is that we had written three or four different albums, and we didn’t seem to agree what the band was supposed to be or what it should sound like. It took us a while to get to that. Writing all this other stuff brought us to that process.
