The (International) Noise Conspiracy talks about new record

Contributed by XCARLUPANDDIEX. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 at 9:00 PM (EDT)

Umea, Sweden's (International) Noise Conspiracy recently discussed their upcoming album for a video feature with Rockster.tv. The band recently wrapped up work on the next full-length with famed producer Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Slayer, Rage Against the Machine).

In the interview Dennis Lyxzén and Lars Strömberg discuss the lyrics and sound of the album, noting that both are "angry and soulful." Dennis also addresses his election as "Sweden's sexiest man" and their experience with "political" bands on the Warped Tour.

You can check out the interview here. (Note that while the site itself is German, the video is in English. )

The band released Armed Love in 2005. The album, also produced by Rubin, had a troubled release in North America as it remained shelved for months due to a distribution-related issues at their U.S. label American Recordings.

Scott & his AP mag isn't stoked

This band totally rules.

Jumped the shark when the keyboard girl left.

"Golden Times" from the Lost Patrol Band is one of the most well crafted pop tunes I've ever heard. Seriously, it gets me every time, no matter how far down in the dumps I may be.

Dude, get the fuck over it. Wow, someone pretended to be on on the internet. On a punk site. You're the only one who still cares about/remembers it. Seriously..shut up.

TheOneTrueBill (August 28, 2007)

Not the real Colin.

feeeding5000 (August 28, 2007)

Ha, yeah, I just looked. "col[I]n". Whoever's been pretending to be various people needs to shut the fuck up.

Like sands through the hourglass... so are the Days of Our Lives

Someone (August 28, 2007)

You're wasting your time. It's not clever, and it's not going to catch on. I would just getting out of the basement.

I really appreciate TINC's comments about the American "political" bands who criticize Bush, but don't go deep enough with their ideas. The problem in this country is more than a bad administration. Its the social/political/economic system that put Bush in office and it will take much more than a democrat president to save us.

thank you for just repeating what they said. lol

Someone (August 28, 2007)

it really cant be said enough. This SYSTEM is the problem and we have to understand it and then dismantle it. The people of the world are counting on us as Americans. We live here as citizens and we are fucking up the world with our passivity and acceptance. You Canadians are very culpable as well...

blackmetal666 (August 29, 2007)

Agreed. It can't be stressed enough that the system itself is the problem. Great interview.

Someone (August 29, 2007)

A Democrat president AND a new (I)NC disc, maybe?

[sarcasm]

PJZ (August 28, 2007)

this band gave my chair aids.

Someone (August 28, 2007)

that was a really good interview. i have newfound respect for these guys...very insightful.

Someone (August 29, 2007)

I do not like this band. Not one bit.
My loss I suppose, I just don't get it.

Check them out live and you might appreciate them more. They put on a great show.

Someone (August 29, 2007)

This band has both terrible music and paper-thin political ideas. All this shit is for aesthetic purpose and nothing else. Dude just throws around slogans and ideas to make himself seem intelligent so gullible fucks can lap up his products and pay for the gas in his tour bus.

I used to like this band and Refused so much. It is so sad to see them for what they really are: business men.

Fuck you Dennis.

couldn´t agree more.

Someone (August 29, 2007)

I think I've become a little bit dumber from reading your shitty, shitty rant.

I-type-poorly (August 29, 2007)

Do you award him any points?

softc (August 29, 2007)

Shit clock's tickin'

WainscottRockCity (August 29, 2007)

Sounds like "four guys who don't care anymore"? "Mystical" lyrics?

I'd be surprised if this album ever comes out.

Cos (August 29, 2007)

I remember when these guys were big news... sigh...
