Interview – MC Lars
January 28, 2009
Change The Record’s Mark recently got the chance to interview post-punk-laptop-rap artist MC Lars. They chatted about his new album This Gigantic Robot Kills, the environment, his hip-hop background, why he likes the UK so much as well as many other things.
Hey Lars, thanks a lot for doing this, first of all, just as a starter question, Your new album, This Gigantic Robot Kills, is out on February 24th, but which is your favourite robot of all time?
My favorite robot of all time is Bender from Futurama. He is sassy and talented and he saves the day in the first Futurama movie!!!
How would you describe your style of music to those here in the UK that don’t know you as of yet?
Bloodhound Gang meets Public Enemy meets KRS-One meets the Dead Kennedys.
At the start of your career, it was just you and your laptop. How was this for you and how did it affect your popularity at shows?
Being a solo artist with a computer made it easier to tour and added some “novelty” appeal to my act. Now that I have my full band we are able to rock harder.

Interview – Shinedown
January 26, 2009
Change The Record’s Mark recently got the chance to interview Barry Kerch drummer of Jacksonville, Florida’s very own hard rock megastars Shinedown who are quickly taking the world by storm.
They spoke about Shinedown’s past, finally getting to the UK, performing to the troops as well as pinpointing the overall key to their success.
First of all, what is your name and your role in the band?
Hey my name is Barry Kerch and my role is to count to four and hit stuff. Well, kind of, I am the drummer.
As you are just getting known in the UK after the Disturbed tour, tell people what they can expect from Shinedown?
They can expect a high energy rock show. We love to play and love to tour. We are a going to give you 110% every time.
You’ve sold more than six million albums worldwide to date, how does this make you feel considering you only released your debut album Leave A Whisper in 2003?
We feel amazing. All of us are extremely lucky to still do what we do. We just want to keep doing this and conquering the world. That’s our honor.
