Brian Borcherdt, Matt Schulz, and Graham Walsh from Holy Fuck are here to discuss their new album Event Beat, moving back to Toronto and leaving New York City for Ohio, receiving noise complaints from studio neighbours because of the band Slayer, the growing trend of musicians not having access to isolated practice spaces, whether a hiatus ever placed the band’s future in doubt, making music for fun but also for other people to party to, the impact of having their songs placed in films and tv shows, writing thoughtful lyrics for textured singing, a tribute to compact discs, playing many shows, other future plans, and much more.
