The Unintelligents – Interview – Thanks for Asking! – by Liam Sweeny.
RRX: Different people in the band will like different songs. A drummer’s favorite song on the release will be different than the guitar player’s. What are each of your favorite songs from your most recent album?
Caleb: Minor Inconvenience
Tanner: Minor Inconvenience
Ben: Poser Punk
RRX: Like songs, every artist has a unique feeling about their first show. What was your first show like? Was it your best show? If not, what was your best show like?
Unintelligents: Our first show was at No Fun and was definitely not our best because we weren’t exposed yet, but we all start somewhere. Our best show so far was the most recent at R.P.I with GZ Basement and the RatDen in Albany, the atmosphere at these two shows was insane, people went crazy!
RRX: Is there a song you wrote that really died on the vine? Something you all like but somehow just couldn’t make it work. You swear never to play it live, that sort of thing?
Unintelligents: The one that died on the vine was Demise. People tell us that they really like the song, some of us in the band like it and some of us don’t, but that is definitely the one we wont play live for a while
RRX: You sing or you rap, you play guitar, play drums, what have you, you have no doubt struggled to learn music. Something probably tripped you up. What was it for each of you? What did you have to overcome (bands, pick a member)?
Ben: My biggest mountain that I had to climb was timing, even since I was in high school, it was hard for me, but I’ve got it down now, for the most part.
RRX: Let’s talk about your next project, your next few. Just not the ones you’re working on now. The ones you have your eyes on for the future. What’s coming to us?
Unintelligents: For the last album and EP we recorded in an attic with a Presonus interface. For these newer ones we’re going into a studio and recording live which should make things sound better.
RRX: What would you like fans to know before they come to see you play? (No basic stuff; get specific.)
Unintelligents: To our fans that come to see us, get active in the pit really, just beat the hell out of each other and enjoy the music. We’re hardcore; we want some hardcore movement in there!
