The Resurgence: Mainstream Alternative Rock
Manifesto by Hyattsvillain
I believe in both gritty punk rock and personal hygiene.
I believe that it’s ok to be pissed-off at the current state of things — our ignorance, lack of empathy and general idiocracy are maddening. I create music that reflects those feelings with one of the best drummers in the world.
I believe that people still want, need, and love those fast aggressive songs with distorted guitars. Artists have lost touch with how to do it right — and I’m here to fix that.
I believe in the dynamics of live instruments and the technology that helps enhance them.
I believe that a chorus can be catchy without being cliche, corny or elementary.
I believe in two-minute songs and the effect of getting punched in the jaw.
I believe that when we are not pissed-off, we should try our best to enjoy our time here. I do so by making fun, infectious, party songs with one of the best engineers on the planet.
I believe that you will sing along with me — either in your car with a fist in the air or at the disco dancing with sweat seeping from your pores.
