Jason Schreurs - Freelance Monkey: May 2009
http://freelancemonkey.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Jason Schreurs - Freelance Monkey. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. GOD FORBID - July 2005. Originally published in: Chord Magazine. Album: IV: Constitution of Treason (Century Media). Random thoughts: Geez, I barely remember this interview. All Eyes to the Future. On their fourth album, God Forbid raise the ante and deliver a dark, dramatic album that strengthens the foundation of their upper-tier metalcore/thrash. Often they get lumped in with fellow American metalheads like Shadows Fall, but with IV they ...

Jason Schreurs - Freelance Monkey. Sunday, March 22, 2009. HELMET - SEPTEMBER 2004. Originally published in: Chord Magazine. Album: Size Matters (Interscope). Page Hamilton thickens his skin, again.

Jason Schreurs - Freelance Monkey: AKRON/FAMILY - NOVEMBER 2006
http://freelancemonkey.blogspot.com/2009/12/akronfamily-november-2006.html
Jason Schreurs - Freelance Monkey. Monday, December 21, 2009. AKRON/FAMILY - NOVEMBER 2006. Originally published: Monday Magazine. Random thoughts: I really can't believe I missed their live show in town. One of those write-about-them-but-get-sick-before-show dealies. I've heard they are one of the best live bands, as the YouTube clip below will attest. Akron/Family avoid rock trappings for a whole lot of love and joy. And with their feel-good reputation preceding them, Akron/Family excel in their altern...

Random thoughts: I was talking to a fellow freelancer from Australia today and I realized I've been neglecting ye ole blog. And I've also been mentioning some of my favourite articles at work lately, and this Fishbone one kept coming up. Then I realized, "Wait, I never posted that one to the blog! Phonin’ in the Phoneyard. Playing cellular tag with Fishbone’s Angelo Moore. 8220;No...

Random thoughts: I barely remember this interview, but I do remember Pall Jenkins being a nice fellow to chat with. THE BLACK HEART PROCESSION. A sad and beautiful world. 8220;I think we throw those elements into each one of our records.

Jason Schreurs - Freelance Monkey. Sunday, December 13, 2009. THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES - AUGUST 2006. Originally published in: Chord Magazine. Random thoughts: A really good band who I remember being excited to interview, just on the basis that their music was so interesting and it wasn't another Warped Tour interview (this was around the same time I was interviewing multiple Warped Tour bands for Chord. uggh). These Arms Are Snakes. A different kind of Easter. It helped that the band had a new recruit with...
