Sticking True To Yourself With BENNY WHISKEY From THE FINAL FALL

Interview by Kris Peters
Following a triumphant rebirthlast year with their comeback single
of sorts The PMA Effect, Gold Coast noise machine The Final Fall
quickly busied themselves on the live circuit, pumping out a second
single Live Everyday earler this year.
Their eclectc and confronting mashing of genres has ensured The
Final Fall have made an impact anywhere and everywhere they play,
with a menacing and strangely cohesive blending of genres from punk
to metal to rock to hardcore creating a sonic maelstorm of venemous
intent that is difficult to put into words.
So the band have decided to let their music do the talking, with
the premiere at 4pm on May 10 of their latest single Sold - Selling
Out Part 2 exclusively via HEAVY mag.
Another slab of musical mayhem, Sold is the successor to The Final
Fall's original song Selling Out which was released back in 2011.
It may seem like a long journey between drinks, but The Final Fall
is determined to make up for lost time, with guitarist Benny
Whiskey sitting down with HEAVY to tell us more.
"It's a bit of a journey," he laughed. "Our music has a lot of punk
and metal and hardcore in there, and with this one we just wanted
to push the boundaries. It's actually the sequel of one of our
songs we wrote about a decade ago called Selling Out and is the
same as that one, just pushing the boundaries musically. Lyrically,
it's almost off the name - Selling Out, Sold - we just wanted to
keep the same sequel going. In a short note don't sell out on your
friends or family because that's what gets you through life."
In the full interview, Benny covered various aspects of The Final
Fall's music such as timing, promotional strategies, and the
musical and lyrical content of the song. They also talked about the
band's history, including a previous release and their return to
the music scene after a hiatus. Additionally, they explored the
challenges of re-entering the music world after a long absence,
their recent experiences with live shows, and the band's
exploration of different musical genres.
Benny provided a comprehensive overview of the band's upcoming
events in the punk and hardcore scene, discussing support for
renowned bands like Belvedre and The Decline, an upcoming tattoo
convention show, the charitable nature of the Rock Beats Depression
event and more.
