Since his first tour and formation of the band Struggle at age 15, Justin Pearson has been bassist and/or vocalist in a slew of subversive and, at times, divisive acts including Swing Kids, The Crimson Curse, The Locust, Some Girls, Retox, Head Wound City, and Dead Cross. His razor wit and quick ret...

This is mostly correct but could certainly use some more relevant details.

The label has released a number of albums and compilations in what has been described as "freak punk"[1] and "spaz-rock."[2]...

Cult & Culture Podcast Transcript
https://youtu.be/myKWoGUcS9g?si=7WiJ9FOP6hk7Bwgi

**Person 1:**
Like, aliens, yeah.

**Person 2:**
Oh, dude. So I was watching Neil deGrasse Tyson, and he was talking about the difference between
humans and our closest ancestors--chimps, right?

**Person 3:**
Yes, chimps.

**Person 2:**
Chimps are 98% human. Exact same DNA--98% match. Small, small difference. But when we look
at chimps, and when a chimp is able to do something, like clap or smile or do a somersault or exhibit
any basic, toddler-level behavior, we find it cute. It's quaint. But it's also **condescending**--we
condescend a lot toward the animal kingdom, especially chimps.

**Person 1:**
Yeah, we see them through our own limited perspective.

**Person 2:**
Exactly. Humans can't think outside of what they know. Years ago, in the early 1700s or 1800s,
scientists--these were the most advanced thinkers of the time--believed that **Jupiter was home to
an advanced race of sailors**. Like, the most incredible ships ever created, more advanced than
anything on Earth.

**Person 3:**
Wait, what?!

**Person 2:**
Yeah, and now we think that's absolutely ridiculous. But back then, **ships were the peak of
technology**, so that's all they could imagine.

**Person 1:**
So when we imagine aliens now, we think of spaceships.

**Person 2:**
Exactly. Because **spacecraft** are the most advanced thing **we** know. But alien life? It could be
**so advanced that we can't even begin to comprehend it**.

**Person 3:**
Like, if an alien species was just **2% more advanced than us**, everything we've ever created--our
technology, our history, our culture--would be **completely laughable to them**.

**Person 4:**
Yeah, we'd be like chimps to them.

**Person 2:**
Right! So that kind of **blew my mind**. If something is so advanced that we **can't comprehend it,
we can't even perceive it**.

**Person 3:**
Yeah, like, we're stuck in these **third-dimensional filters**.

**Person 1:**
Exactly. We can't see beyond our reality. For all we know, **we might be hanging out with dead
people right now** and just not realizing it.

**Person 4:**
I actually kinda think we are.

**Person 3:**
So how would you communicate with an alien?

**Person 1:**
Through your kid?

**Person 3:**
I don't know. But you know what's weird? Aliens seem to be **fascinated by music**. From what I've
read and heard, there's some connection.

**Person 4:**
Maybe he's **already communicating with them through music**.

**Person 1:**
Yeah, maybe. But honestly, if an alien **walked into the room right now**, I probably wouldn't wanna
talk about drums.

**Person 3:**
(laughs) No?

**Person 1:**
Nah, I'd probably try to **ease into it with some surf music** or something. Just, like, feel-good
vibes.

**Person 2:**
Would you tell them you love them?

**Person 1:**
I don't know, man. My **basic instinct** would be to **freak out**. But I also know that's just human
nature. **Fear of the unknown.** So I'd try to **keep it together**, be cool, and be peaceful.

**Person 3:**
That makes sense.

**Person 1:**
Yeah, because humans **instinctively lash out** at things they don't understand. That's our
default--**fight or flight**. But if an alien walks in, I don't wanna be that guy who **panics and ruins
first contact**.

**Person 4:**
So you'd communicate with **absolute conviction and confidence**.

**Person 1:**
Yeah. **Confidence equals safety and truth**. Just **be cool**.

**Person 3:**
Yeah, the **coolest people** I know are the **most confident ones**. You can always spot the
cowards.

**Person 1:**
That's how I try to be **whenever I meet anyone**. Just **be as cool as possible**.

**Person 4:**
Can you communicate that **without drums**?

**Person 1:**
I don't know, man. I feel like **music is the only real form of communication**. It goes beyond
**language, gender, age--**it speaks in ways we **can't even comprehend**.

**Person 2:**
Especially aggressive music. People think, "Oh, this is negative." But it's not.

**Person 1:**
Yeah, unless the band is, like, nihilistic or something. But **aggression in music doesn't mean
negativity**.

**Person 3:**
Yeah, people **react with fear** because it's **fight or flight**. It's that **primal, caveman mentality**
kicking in.

**Person 1:**
Exactly. It's like **reptilian brain mode**--just reacting, no thinking.

**Person 2:**
So, what's your take on **Planet B**?

**Person 3:**
Man, that's a whole other conversation...

The Locust: The Peel Sessions (Reissue)

Writing about The Locust, the San Diego-bred group of misfits who redefined hardcore as the 20th century morphed into the 21st, is just a fool’s errand. The quartet (and, back in the day, quintet) wrote and performed in jagged bursts and raging threnodies. At times, it seemed like they were trying to anthropomorphize the phrase “lightning in a bottle,” all the while attempting to catch it. By extension, for those who write about music, it was tough to characterize or contextualize or even describe – before a listener could compose a cohesive thought around the aural attack before them, The Locust was already halfway into the next song. The music was fast, brutal and, as genres go, a little bit of a cl*******ck. And yeah, the threat of physical violence seemed more than just implied. Sharp-edged time signatures, corralled with breakneck stops and shifts, ruled the roost.

More than 20 years later, the way these guys channel a kind of musical rage still screams true.

In this two part episode of Cult and Culture's discussion with InDecline, JUSTIN PEARSON and Luke Henshaw chat with two anonymous members of the art/activist collective. They discuss some of the ethics and goals behind what they do, as well as some of the struggles they face. Having taken part in some major acts of art-vandalism over the years, they share the consequences and risks of being involved in such divisive displays, as well as the precautions that are necessary to stay afloat as a collective. They also acknowledge missteps they've taken, taking accountability along the way while still unapologetically using humor and shock to make a point, acknowledging that they will never be able to please everyone. From giant naked Trump statues to play productions, soccer matches using model authoritarian heads for the ball to cleverly transformed billboards, InDecline uses this space to share some insight into their unique approach to political protest.
