I sat down with Greg over a nice brunch in my father's study to conduct this interview and asked the singer of Concrete Jungle what was beyond the jungle. Tune in...
DTHC: You wanna do this interivew now?
Greg: i'd rather be smoking a bowl...was that the first question?
DTHC: Go smoke one
Greg: brb
Greg: ay dog
DTHC: Ok, first, who are you? What band are you in? How long have you been attending shows?
Greg: Greg Marchand, i'm in concrete jungle, i've been going to shows since allie cislak gave me a the rock paper scissors e.p by mute, so 7th grade.
DTHC: You are in Concrete Jungle. You guys just started and you are a fairly new, young band. What do you hope to bring to the plate with CJ?
Greg: what we wanted to do with concrete jungle is just bring something fresh. Doylestown is constantly shifting music styles. Metalcore, pop punk, "old school" hardcore, all phases this towns seen in one way or another. We've started at a point where creativity and uniqueness are running high and people aren't so worried about breaking the norm, i guess what i'm trying to say is, we just want to sound like something new, a little heavy, a little blazed, real pissed. we also want to bring the jungle sound to d-town, something funky.
DTHC: You just recorded new songs and they are tight as hell. The lyrics are straight forward and straight up raw...where do you find inspiration to write?
Greg: thank you, a lot of the lyrics i write are just things that i wish i could have just said to someones face but didn't get the chance or just didn't. Also being around really retarded people or idiot girls i just think to myself like whats the best way to describe these people, why are they pissing me off so much. So i guess my inspiration are dumb sluts and drunk assholes.
DTHC: What other up and coming bands besides the Jungle should we look out for this fall / winter?
Greg: i think suburban scum are looking to be pretty good, always been a fan of stay sharp look out for whatever they do, and do listein to weekend nachos. and layin' waste.
DTHC: Give me your opinion on the state of the Doylestown scene.
Greg: the scene is pretty good, i mean were all close, were all friends, it'd be nicer to see kids that aren't always around come to shows more often. I just wish that there were more basement shows and the wacky shit that used to happen at depression shows, i don't know.
DTHC: Rank the 5 best places to get a burrito.
Greg: 1. burrito night at the marchands 2. chipotle 3. el taco 4. baja fresh 5. anywhere but california tortilla
DTHC: Last word? Shout outs? whatever.
Greg: everyone should all say thank you to bob meadows, dion made out with the inspiration for the song sloth, weed, text 267-614-5735 for nudes.
