Interview:

Who all makes up your band?

Chip "Francis" Cornall, Brian "Smelly Fingers" Londrigan, and Brandt "Pudge" Henderson.

Where are you all from?

Brandt is from Whitehall Ohio, no one knows where Chip is from, and Mark and Brian are from Newark.

How long have you guys been together with Steam Trile?

Brain & Brandt played the first Steam Trile song towards the end of the summer last year. So they’ve been together for about 5 or 6 months.

What keeps your band motivated to do more records?

Girls, and hearing our songs when they are finished.

What’s more important? Doing good re-mixes of other songs or being totally original?

Totally original is what’s the best. We all hate rap and hate most all re-mixes except for some White Zombie, that’s the only band we really listen to if they are re-mixes.

What do you think about doing shows in public?

We all want to play in public but were afraid of like messing up n’stuff, but we figure everyone messes up. I know Brian sure as heck wouldn’t sing in public!

Have you ever done any public shows?

No, but we have a gig coming up this March 6. It’s probably the biggest thing any of us have ever done. It’ll be a performance at the School Dance.

What is your opinion of independent SKA/punk record labels?

We don’t mind ska too much. Ska/Punk is a nice combination. Well Brian doesn’t give a crap about punk/ska labels but he’s the only one who doesn’t.

Do you guys do anything else beside BMX? Skateboarding, motocross?

Brandt plays pinpong every now and then, and Brian used to do the football thing but not so much anymore.

How long does it take you on average to come out with new songs?

It’s weird sometimes. I’ll just play something that pops in my head and someone will just start drumming to it and we call it a song. Some of them take 2 to 3 weeks to put together. The best songs I (Brandt) write are done usually in about 10 to 15 minutes.

Has the band ever felt like splitting up?

Well some of us want to and then others of us would never think about it. Brandt thought about it all the time because it had something to do with Brian or something.

Did you guys ever think you would be where you are today?? Are you satisfied?

Before I ( Brian ) even knew how to play the guitar I said I would be the guitar player. For awhile I thought that we would never really do anything with our band seriously. But I’m satisfied and I believe all the members are.

Who do you guys consider to be the best musicians in the industry today?

Brain= Probably Johnny Cash. Brandt= I don’t have any single one, there are alot of killer artists that I know are ten million times better than us.

Anyone you would like to thank?

Brandt= I would like to thank Mr. Mathews, Mommy, Dad, Grandpa, and all the members of our band. Don’t forget, this ones for you Mike.
