Psycotic Scum is an all female hardcore punk/crossover band from Whittier in California and this year they are celebrating their 20th anniversary.

We thought it was a great occasion to have a little chat with the band, to talk about their evolution and what motivates them to go on. --------------------- First of all, congrats on your 20 years! That's an amazing milestone that you can be really proud of. We've seen so many hardcore punk bands come and go in much shorter amount of times.

Death Pill is a hardcore punk/riot grrrl band from Kyiv, Ukraine. Like the whole world, we feel very concerned and enraged about what's going on there. We feel helpless, but through our words, we can help raise awereness on the atrocities that our Ukrainian brother and sisters are now facing everyday. We've reached out to drummer, Anastasiya Khomenko, to find out what their live as become as of right now, the story of her band, and of course, what can we do to show our support. -------- Before we start, we just want you to know how much we sympathize with what you are going through, and we can only imagine how tough these times must be for you. How are you feeling right now and where are you exactly at the moment, did you decide to leave or stay there? Thank you for answering - I'm doing fine (as “fine” as you can feel when your country is beeing attacked).
