An Application in Absurdity: Interview with Justin Pearson on Deaf Club's Bad Songs Forever EP7/18/2022 Interview by Parisa Eshrati  Photo credit: Becky DiGiglio Having just released their debut LP, Productive Disruption, at the start of 2022, San Diego-based powerviolence band Deaf Club hightailed their way straight into their follow-up EP to hone in on their absurdist sound. In the Bad Songs Forever EP, the band finds a new balance of structured songwriting while still crafting a densely layered blend of hardcore, grind and d-beat. We spoke with frontman Justin Pearson (The Locust, Swing Kids, etc.) on the thematic elements of their latest release, balancing humor with politically-charged messages, and much more.

We spoke with frontman Mike IX Williams during their US tour with GWAR and Napalm Death to discuss the maturation of their sound, creative nihilism, and channeling pain into motivation.
