Most Precious Blood




Chummy: Can you state your names and what you do in Most Precious Blood?

Sean: Sean and I play drums.

Rachel: Rachel I play guitar.

Justin: Justin, I play guitar.

Chummy: How long have you guys been a band for?

Rachel: 2 years?

Justin: Yeah since 2000.

Chummy: And it's a continuation of Indecision?

Justin: Uh... I guess kinda. But there's a reason why we changed the name and everything.

Chummy: Is there a meaning behind the name "Most Precious Blood?"

Sean: It was an alias that we just kinda threw around that just became synonymous with the friendship between all of us and stuff like that.

Chummy: Why did Indecision break up?

Justin: We just couldn't get along.

Chummy: Rachel, was the breaking point when Artie farted in your face? (laughs)

Rachel: No, that definitely wasn't it.

Chummy: Cause I definitely heard that that was part of the reason. (more laughs)

Rachel: Yeah, I never heard that.

Justin: We just couldn't get along. It was just bad vibes and bad luck. Everyone was just kinda going in different ways in their heads but no one verbalized it. This got translated into bad vibes and then the band just self-destructed, because no one would talk about the problem. Hardcore was just different then, too. We were touring with Avail in 1999 and it wasn't like we were some big band, we were just kinda out there banging our heads into walls. It wasn't like it is now where we're paying our rent and bills off of the band. I mean it's still kind of a struggle now, but back then it just seemed like nothing was going our way at all.

Chummy: Why was Tom kicked out of Indecision?

Justin: A lot of the same shit. Bad vibes, and we really weren't getting along. He didn't really wanna tour, and we felt like he was just touring because he knew that we all wanted to. It was definitely shitty, like he wasn't psyched about it, but at the end it was best for everyone because he wanted to go back to school and the band was just getting in the way.

Chummy: What do you guys all do for a living? Is this pretty much your job?

Sean: Pretty much.

Rachel: Me and Justin still have other jobs, but the band has been paying the bills since the summer.

Chummy: In an interview for Switchblade, we were asked who we thought were the sexiest people in music. I said Fionna Apple, and Joanna said you (pointing to Rachel). How does that feel to be called the sexiest female in all music?

Rachel: (laughs) It's very flattering.

Chummy: Does that make you want to be on Burning Angel?

Rachel: (more laughs) I'd need a lot of money to do something like that.

Justin: They should photograph you in your medical scrubs cutting open a body naked. Now that would be hot.

Chummy: How were the Andrew W.K. shows this past tour?

Sean: They were awesome! I think they were psyched to have us on tour cause for whatever reason, they get stuck playing with a lot of bullshit major label pop punk bands. They were psyched when they got on the shows with us just cause we're like, a heavier band

Justin: Yeah, I think they were just tired of the like, Warped Tour pop punk. I'm not dissing that kind of music, but I know it's just not what those guys are into.

Chummy: Justin, do you still make a lot of prank phone calls?

Justin: Once in a while.

Chummy: Do any good ones lately?

Justin: (laughs) On the way home from tour.

Rachel: Matt did a whole bunch.

Sean: He called everyone in his phone book. He called Josh Trustkill and was like "Every band on your label sucks!"

Justin: I'll call like all my friends and tell them I'm from Belgium and be like, "Yes, my girlfriend is allergic to cats, and her face is burned off, and she has to wear a mask."

Chummy: (laughs) So, do you guys watch porn?

Sean: Sure.

Chummy: Do you have a favorite porn star?

Justin: Peter North.

Sean: The Load Lord.

Chummy: Um, why are you naming all guys?

Sean: Cuz they're my heros!

Chummy: So I always felt that there was something about Indecision and Most Precious Blood that was like, representative of New York hardcore, even in the layouts and stuff. Do people pick up on that?

Sean: Well we definitely appreciate that more when we're on tour.

Justin: Yeah, we have shirts that say like "Brooklyn Hardcore" or "Gotham City" and kids just eat that up cause they're like "Oh wow, bands from New York City!" And not to disrespect bands from other places, but it just seems that New York has this kind of aura to it.

Chummy: Justin, are you and Rachel still dating?

Justin: No. We've been broken up for over a year and a half. We went out for like 7 years, and when we first broke up it was just so hard to be in the same band. For a while I wanted to kick her out, but Sean talked me out of it.

Sean: She has a real integral role in the band. I mean, she totally keeps us together.

Justin: Because we went out for so long, the relationship became very platonic. If she was just some girl I fucked for a year it would be different, but the shit we went through together made us more like brother and sister. I mean, I won't lie, it's still hard, but the fact that we had something substantial makes this a lot easier to be mature about. In any case, I'm not gonna fuck up the band because of it.

Chummy: Are these questions making you uncomfortable?

Justin: Nah. A lot of people who interview us beat around the bush.

Chummy: How do you feel about the recent popularity of punk porn?

Sean: I think it's cool.

Chummy: What would you say about kids who are against it?

Justin: It's a part of life. I mean, the dude who is out saying that he's offended, totally goes home and jerks off to it. It's just human nature. If you chose to ignore it, fine, but don't get down on other people because they might like it. Hopefully it will loosen kids up a little bit.

Sean: Shit guys, I have to pee.

Chummy: So go!

Justin: Yo. I really like it when you hold your pee in for a long time. Then, when you finally pee it feels like heroin.

Chummy: Are you into weird shit like that?

Justin: Nah, man. It's not weird.

Chummy: Sometimes I'll clip my toenails and leave them on my night table.

Justin: I'll chew that shit in my mouth.

Chummy: Ew.

Justin: Yeah. Sometimes I pick my nose, and I put the bugger back in so I can re-pick it later. You don't do anything like that?

Chummy: (laughs) No man, never. Are you into doing enemas? Some guys are really into that.

Justin: You know, I've never done one but sometimes I fantasize about doing enemas.

Chummy: If you drink water and lemon juice together for two days, it will clear out your system. Don't quote me on that though, I don't want to be responsible for any kind of health accident you could have.

Justin: I'll have to try that out. I mean, I'm sure there's a bunch of shit in my body just aching to get out. I think some cleansing would really make me feel like a new person.

Chummy: So Sean, I heard you have a 10-inch dick.

Sean: Yeah, well, it's close to that.

Chummy: You should really be a porn star with a dick like that.

Sean: You know, on some days I'm really proud of it, and on some days I think it's really disappointing.

Chummy: Yeah. Like, you have good dick days and bad dick days.

Sean: Yeah. I can't really understand it. I mean, not even just in size, it's like sometimes when I'm having sex I finish really quickly, and then can't get it up again. At other times, I can beat off like nine times in a row and still feel like I can go again.

Chummy: You've really done 9 times in a row?

Justin: I did 6 once.

Sean: Yeah, I did but my dick hurt afterwards.

Chummy: When you first start beating off, it's like a milestone in your development. You could jerk off all day and feel like you can still keep going.

Justin: I remember when I was really young, and got my first hard-on. I was like, what the hell do I do with this? Do I punch it? Do I spit on it? So I start rubbing it and I was like "oh my god, this rules!"

Chummy: Yeah. I remember I felt like the world was shaking the first time I had an orgasm.

Justin: I remember when I was little, my friend asked me to come over. It sounds pretty sketchy now, but he called me and a whole bunch of his other guy friends saying "you gotta see what I found." Anyways, we all went over and he showed us all these pornos, and I was like "what the fuck is going on?" I started rubbing my dick on his bed, and then I just ran to the bathroom thinking I was going to explode. That was the first time I really jerked off, and when I finished, I was like "holy shit! What the fuck just happened?"

Sean: Yeah. The first time you jerk off, it's totally unexpected and such a surprise that something literally comes out. It's good to be older and understand what's going on, and not have to stress out about that shit. I mean, it was embarrassing. Like I remember being in elementary school and just kissing a girl and getting like the biggest boner and just trying to press myself against her. I didn't know what the hell I was doing and neither did she. It's nice to have some control over my hormones now.

Chummy:  Yeah. Well, jerking off when you're young is probably what heroin feels like.

Sean: Yeah.

Chummy: OK. Well, I'm gonna end the interview now. Is there anything else you wanna add?

Sean: No... thanks for the interview.

Justin: Yeah, thanks man.
