." "Incorporating space rock, psychedelica, and drone with the ferocious rhythms of punk rock, Psychic Ills are the rare band that is as experimental as they are explosive. While their dark electronics can sometimes fall into the "spooky" genre (spooky = silly sometimes), these guys make up for it when they let their guitars rip.
Go to their show and be pleasantly prepared for a very big sound." [ ]

how he feels "about blogs compared with the mainstream music media".
His response is below...
It was the first time I'd ever gotten a review in Spin, and we got a letter grade of "C." And I also got shit-tons of reviews on internet only sites, from Pitchfork on down. We got a .
And usually when you get a really bad review, your hardcore fans write you and say, "Man, fuck this guy," and when you get a really good review, your hardcore fans write you and say "Oh wow, this was insightful or interesting, this is great, you should be excited."
When I got the "C" letter grade review in Spin, I heard nothing. Not from anybody.
No one ever said anything to me. But whenever I got a good review from somewhere like I would get emails about it. It was very clear to me then that all that print media shit doesn't matter anymore.
It totally does not matter. I mean, no offense to Spin or anyone like that, but people right now, hard core music people that pay attention, they're online. The big national glossies just don't have that kind of impact anymore.
I guess. I mean this is all anecdotal, I can't back any of it up, but the way people find out about us and find out things about us, it's all bloggers. It's all online 'zines.
Whether it's or Tiny Mix Tapes or , , , the list goes on and on.
You know, it's weird, if someone posts something on , I look on my website and all of a sudden, we're getting like 25,000 unique visitors in one day, you know. And we got a review on Pixel Revolt in Rolling Stone.
And the day that that review came out, there was no bump whatsoever. And that was a good review. And we got no bump in traffic on the website.
That's insane. I can look at where people are coming from and who's searching what, and what method they are using to get to my site. After that I was like, "Fuck paying a publicist to work your record, lets just email all the bloggers and send them a record or some MP3's.
"
A band will come up to me and tell me "Oh my god, we're getting a record review in Rolling Stone and what I want to tell them is, 'Listen, who cares, it doesn't mean anything.'" What means something is that a blogger with credibility has his or her own fan base, you know what I mean? People follow bloggers because they understand their aesthetic framework and what they like and their sensibilities.

" 's pointed digs are no accident. The name, Schreiber says, came from the gangster epic "Scarface," in which Tony Montana's pitchfork tattoo is said to be code for an assassin.
"I think people assume I'm this huge, elitist jerk," he says, though in more forceful and colorful terms.
Schreiber shakes his head and shouts a sarcastic apology to the assemblage: "Sorry, people!" He's soured some on the group, apparently because singer Alec Ounsworth hasn't given the Internet enough credit for its role in having broken the band. (MP3 blogs and other music sites also had a hand in spreading the gospel.
) Plus, Clap Your Hands just isn't that great live, Schreiber says.
