Ed Grimmarsh/Back Of The Neck Interview


That's right. After dropping a "new" cd on Rock Vegas, and a long rumored return to playing shows, BOTN is back full steam. I did this interview with Ed to shed some light on the comeback.


So Ed, whats good in Brockton? Whats up with Back Of The Neck?

Whats good in Brockton is its back. The return show was great. Death Threat, COA, BOTN, POW, Energy, COK, how can that not be an awesome show. Kids had a good time and it was a good turnout. Was good to be home in the city of champions. I guess for now shows are going to be once a month.

B.O.T.N is back full time. Got four new dudes in the band, kinda pulled a Rick Ta Life, but all the past members either fell out of the core or were told to fuck off. Its good though, we have a bunch of shows coming up and new merch so we are siked to play.

How was the reception to the new lineup? Kids going off? Maybe even a pit appearance by Brophy?

It was good for the most part. People didn't care that it was a new lineup, and those who do fuck em. Kids were going off and having fun, singing along which was awesome for me cause i was nervous that after a four year break kids woudn't care but so far they have proven that they want to see us. Barophy did not make a pit appearence or even a show appearence for that matter. He has been blacklisted hahahahahaha fuck that kid and his big dumb fucking mouth.

That news about Brophy definitely doesn't surprise me ha. What's up with the album that came out on Rock Vegas? Does Pat have anything to do with this new incarnation?

The album is called "Hated By All". We recorded it 4 years ago and then broke up so we put it aside. Then about a year and a half ago I decided it was time to put it out and stop wasting a good recording. its a mix of old and new songs and still Back Of Tha Neck, ignorant.

Pat does have a little to do with this. He sings "My Hate" when we play shows, cause that was his song, He wrote it and it sounds better with two singers anyway. Other than that he just smashes kids in the crowd hahahahahaha.






What are 3 bands you're psyched on right now?

Trapped Under Ice
Reign Supreme
Death Threat, no matter what always siked on this band.
