Being frontman of Down To Nothing and bassist for Terror, it’s a busy night for David Wood on the Hell On Earth Tour, but Faye manages to sit down with him in Sheffield for a chat about Down To Nothing’s current situation, their blurry future, the release of All My Sons, straight edge and more!
Faye: Since you’re in Terror, what’s the deal with Down To Nothing these days?
David: Yeah, we don’t tour as much and Jared’s in Trapped Under Ice, so his band is real busy too. Alan left the band a few years ago, because he’s a mechanic, he has a real job, so he couldn’t tour that much, but that’s why he’s back in the band, because we don’t tour as much. Hunter’s actually in another band called Bracewar and in another band called Heathens, so he’s got other stuff going on too. We put out a new record this year, six-songs, on Reaper Records. We don’t want to break up and want to do as much as we can, so that’s just the deal with us now. We’re still a band, but we just don’t tour as much as we used to.
Faye: Are the other bands your priorities now?
David: Yeah, in 2008 when Groater left the band and Daniel decided to go back to school, we didn’t know what we were going to do and we thought about breaking up, and then we thought about not breaking up, and just staying as a band and just not touring as much, so that’s what we agreed on and then that summer was when I got asked to join Terror, and then that fall, Jared joined Trapped Under Ice. It was kind of already an idea to just take it slow with Down To Nothing, so, yeah, the other bands are our number one priorities right now.
Faye: What made you want to join Terror full-time?
David: They’re one of my favourite bands before, like one of my all-time favourite bands ever, and I knew the dudes pretty well, and I always wanted to be in a full-time touring band, so when Down To Nothing decided not to tour as much any more, I didn’t know what to do and then I got asked and it was perfect.
