…all courtesy of great American La Lengua over at Ribbon Around a Bomb. (Suburban Relapse was one of those ephemeral early 80s punk/underground ‘zines that never made it to the west coast, and therefore never made it to my collection).
This is an interview I did via mail with Japanese psychedelic speed freaks HIGH RISE back in 1993. Definitely one of the great lost-in-translation interviews I’ve ever seen, all modesty aside. All I did was ask the tough questions.
Fantastic band, too, if you’ve never heard their late 80s/early 90s material. Interview taken from SUPERDOPE fanzine #6, 1993.
