Q: I’ve been noticing a lot of kids, I mean a lot of kids are coming out and really getting into Exodus, OVERKILL, KREATOR, etc. That’s got to be something to see from the band’s point of view.
Dukes: "It’s been really, really good to see that! Hopefully with the next record we’ll be able to like go out and play the whole thing! I don’t want to say we’re going to let go of the past, but we’re definitely happy where we’re at right now rather than counting on the past. So that’s the plan, to reach the kids with the new stuff and then that will lead them to discovering Bonded By Blood and Fabulous Disaster and all that. We want to stay relevant right now you know? I mean, compare what we’re doing right now to a lot of records and we just feel we’re faster, meaner, more aggressive or whatever and that’s what we do live. We’re not just out here living off the past and that’s important! Sure there’s places, like in South America where they’ll pay us specifically to play Bonded… so we’ll do two sets a night, one all current material and one just Bonded By Blood, and I can see why, it’s pretty classic."
