Hey Andrew! Thanks for your time and interest in Soulcraft! How’s life? How do you handle the whole situation with one lockdown following the other, etc.?
orld Be Free is for sure not your regular band. A line-up that includes Scott Vogel (of Terror, Buried Alive), Andrew Kline (of Strife, Berthold City), Sammy Siegler (of Judge, Youth of Today, etc.), Joe Garlipp (of Despair) and recently Alex Barreto (of Chain Of Strength) is definitely not to be overlooked! A hardcore super group or not (name it however you want), WBF delivers no fills fast and angry hardcore with lots of melodic and positive vibes. Their brand new EP ‘One time for unity’ was released by Revelation Records at the end of 2020, right on time that the world desperately needed unity, and it’s a banger! In early 2021, I got the chance to talk to Andrew Kline (the 2nd time he’s featured in this zine, after the Strife interview in issue no.1) about WBF, WAR Records and Trump getting out of the office.
Life is good, all things considered. I am doing my best to stay busy, productive, and positive. 2020 was a hard year for many, but I am thankful that my line of work is considered “essential” (real estate), so I was able to keep working throughout the year. 2020 started with a bang, and I got to play some awesome shows with Strife (The Return of The California Takeover), and a great tour with Berthold City (with Change, Punitive Damage, and Scowl) right before the world locked down. I was fortunate to stay busy with my label, WAR Records, releasing records from Terror, Reserving Dirtnaps, Ways Away and more, plus cassette releases from Exhibition, Bent Blue, Last Gasp, Ironclad and Buggy. World Be Free released a new EP at the end of the year, and I started working on new LPs for Strife and Berthold City… Overall a very productive year. Plus Trump got voted out of
