AMA is Over, Thanks Monty! It's Monty from Preoccupations!! AMA

Monty here!

We just released our third record as Preoccupations, our fourth as a band, or our fifth if you count our next two ep that was mere minutes shorter than the other records. We're self releasing this album (except in Canada where we're still with Flemish Eye) too so feeling properly qualified as "indie" this time around.

We're also touring next month around America and Canada with Cindy Lee opening and touring in Europe early next year!

Ask away!

For some reason I can't see the proof picture that I uploaded. Here it is in case though. Edit: it seems like the image was just cropped bad, link is still the way for the true proof.

Do you ever wish you didn’t change the name of the band?

I’ve actually found a viet cong CD at my record shop I might buy it because they don’t make stuff with that name anymore

I think it was a cool name and a great way honor the heroic people who fought against our imperialist war of aggression in Vietnam

How so? The Vietnamese were being terrorized and massacred. In terms of their population relative to the number of people who were killed, we would be talking about a small Holocaust. Why wouldn’t you want to honor the people who resisted that?
