Short interview with Carl from The Templars
OK, here we go! Carl Templar gave me a shit, which I really appreciate since The Templars are one of my favourite bands from ever since. So here we go.. The Templars @ Myspace
1. Please give an introduction about your band? When you have started, where are you coming from?
- We are a band from New York, starting out on Long Island. We started playing music in 1990, just Phil & I. We started out jamming in my parent’s garage, doing cover songs. Finally, we decided to make it a real band and write our own songs. Our first gig was June 3, 1992 at the Holbrook Civic Center. The show was put on by some friends of ours and included bands like 411, Scapegrace, and Common Ground. We’ve been playing every since.
2. Your releases so far?
-Our discography is huge. Our first release was “The Poor Knights of Acre” 7” EP on Sonic Aggression Records. It was released in 1993. Our first full-length album was “The Return of Jacques DeMolay” on Dim Records in 1994. We’ve been steadily releasing records ever since.
3. And traditionally, best release so far?
-My favorite releases so far are “Outemer” CD on GMM Records (2005), “1118-1312” Mini-CD on Do A Runner/Go-Kart (1997) and the split 12” with The Glory Stompers on Knockout Records (1996)
4. Past members?
-Past members include Don from Sub-DK on bass, Chet from Adolph & the Piss Artists (APA) on 2nd guitar, and Matt from Counterattack on bass.
5. Best places you've ever played?
-In the US, I would say Atlanta. We had a lot of great gigs there and they crowds were always fantastic. In Europe, I would say Germany. The shows in Germany are always a good time.
6. What kinds of music are you up to?
-Lately, I’ve been doing more power pop/melodic punk stuff with my side project, Stamford Bridge. The Templars haven’t been working on anything new, though we hope to start working on a new full-length album soon.
7. What inspires you to write the stuff you do?
-My daily life and personal observations inspire my music, particularly my lyrics. My musical inspirations come from many different sources.
8. If you would have the chance, with whom would you like to play a gig? (even a dead man!)
-The Who. I’ve always been a big fan of theirs, especially their earlier stuff.
9. Your personal opinions about;
- politics
-Boring.
- nowadays rock n roll
-Very boring.
- binge drinking (serious fun for finns, hah!)
-It was fun when I was younger, but at my age it takes too long to recover from it.
- do you really give a fuck about this dumbass interview?
-Sure I do. It the only way fans will know anything about us.
10, The last call, cheers, fuck_yous and thanks. Promote your band!
-Paljon kiitoksia meidän suomalaisille faneillemme

Welcome!
First of all, I'd like to welcome all of you.
This is my small and shitty e-zine.
I will post some interviews and record reviews about the music I like; mostly Oi!, hardcore, punk, and maybe something different, time to time.
So, Hammer In The Nails!
