You’ve just ended your tour and you’ve shared the stage with Crucified Barbara and Gemini5. Was it everything OK? Best and worst memories?
What can i say... three great bands playin´ together on one stage in one night. Crucified and Gemini are among those bands that makes you wanna write new good songs and keep the “good fuckin´music movement” grow. I think we had a blast.
Worst memories?... OK... the monitorguy was low quality and stunk.

A couple of new videos are already out, but no new album yet here in Italy…what’s going on? Who is Gain out for in Italy?
Since we started our own record-label we had to build a new net of distributers and contacts. That took a while. We just wanted to work with cool people this time and those people can be quite hard to find these days. There´s a lot of pop-assholes out there who does´nt have a clue... so watch out.

About videos, what gig have the images of "We don't celebrate Sundays" been taken from?
We went out for the 15th time with MOTOHEAD and did a scandinavian tour a couple of weeks before our album was out in stores and just played new songs from the album. We wanted to have a video with us performing so people can get a taste of what we´re about live

What’s your own favourite video and why?
I love the Sundays video and our new video (which is my good reputation) because of the simple fact that it shows the band what we are really like. Almost like a little documentary of gits from sweden with instruments.

What is that you don’t celebrate, beyond Sundays?
We´ll celebrate anything if there´s a drink in it… with a twist of lemon.

I got to listen some songs of the new album and it seems you have moved to a harder sound, more ‘80s, which I really like. Was it made on purpose or just happened by chance?
We took a break for 6 months before writing any songs for this album and that really helped us to see clearly what we wanted to do. This album in many ways came to us instead of we trying to write any songs. I´ve never had so much fun writing and recording an album like this before. There were no arguments or fights during the whole making of the album actually.

I’ve been struck by the rage of some of the new songs, such as "Kick on the upperclass" and "Bag On Your Head", it really seems you wanted to make a U-turn compared to "No regrets". What do you think of that album a couple of years after its release?
I think that you can put it in the poor-production-section. We wanted to do a punky album with a sound that just said I´ll crush your balls. Almost like a Misfits type of production. If you listen to lets say Misfits you´ll find some really sweet melodies in there but baked with a skullcrushing sound. No regrets has some really good songs on it but our producer at that time did not share our enthusiasum in the production of it.

One of the songs is called "Hateful"... is there anything or anyone you hate right now?
That song deals with scizophrenia and it was aimed to ourselves for almost breaking up the band. If we would have stopped right there, I guess I would hate myself today.

What do you mean by "Standin On The Verge"?
It´s about what´s going on in your head minutes before you deceide to break up with your partner. Eventhough you´re the one who´s breakin´ up you never feel good about it.

Hardcore Superstar means something very special to me; actually the SLAM! crew coming from all around Italy met for the first time at your first Italian show. Have you got some particular memory of that night?
I think we played at this club in Milan and all I can remember was that there were mirrors everywhere, even behind me. People played our album out in the parking lot before the venue opened and it was a good show.

As we’re talking about gig, when are you coming to Italy again? Have you already hired Debbie to look for some shows?
We´re coming over in the end of June to do at least 2 shows. One of the gigs we´ll be playin´ with New york dolls, wich is fuckin´ fantastic.

You’ve got a large number of fans here. Why do you think the Italian people love you so much?
Because you buy music in the “ Good fuckin´ music section” when you go to the musicstore to buy a CD…. HAHAHAHA.

When will you sing an Italian version of “Someone special”? : )
That will be the day I also do the entire show naked, wich is´nt impossible.

Many Italian guys think of Sweden as a place full of beautiful girls and good venues to play in…how true is it and what are the pros and cons of living there?
In many ways you´re absolutly right. There is a lot of venues to play and the livescene is also on its way back over here so I expect even some more venues to pop up. You should talk about girls! You´re the ones with good looking females.

Hardcore Superstar has been a great influence for many new bands. What about your heroes and who has played a fundamental role in your musical growth?
We come from the hard-rock scene of the 80´s. We loved both Trash-metal and sleaze and that´s really where we get all our inspiriations from. I think you´ll see our trash influences even more when you see us live. Another lovly little story is that 3/5 members from faster pussycat have offered seriously themselves to move to sweden and become a member of the band.

Talking of heroes…apparently Axl Rose has finally come back. What’s your opinion of the new Guns N' Roses?
I´ve heard some songs from his new album and some of it is quite good but there´s some outdated shit in there aswell that sounds like Limp bizkit. He should get rid of those songs and stick to his sound.

And what do you think of bands like Veins of Jenna, Cowboy Prostitutes, Loud 'N' Nasty, Zan Clan and Nasty Idols?
All interesting good fuckin´ bands. We played with Veins of Jenna last week and they gave us a good show. I´ve met Luca from Cowboy Prostitutes a couple of times and he´s has a good taste in music that’s why there such a good band you know.

That’s all guys. If you want to leave a final message the last lines are for you…
Hope to see all of you gits soon.
