Interview with No Such Noise!

Listen here haters. While you were hatin' we were interviewing some bros. Check out our interview with Joe Fuscia, the bassist and vocalist for No Such Noise!

Hello and thank you for the interview, can you tell us a little bit about yourselves?

We are No Such Noise! a ska/poppunk bands from the South Jersey area.
Now, when I was looking around your facebook fan page for stuff to ask you about the quote "Ska is dead, but its okay to be horny." Can you shed some light on that gem of a quote for everyone?
 
Everyone says ska is a dead genre. We are kind of iffy about the statement. It's definitly not as popular as it was in the 90's, but there is still bands making music that is in the ska genre. We are one of those bands. We have a strong ska influence, but not as strong as our pop-punk influence. We try and make an enjoyable hybrid of poppunk and ska. The quote is to poke fun about the genre being dead, but it's okay to listen to it still.

How exactly did you guys form the band?

Taking a different direction in our musical lifestyles, me and Vince (Trumpet, Vocals) decided we would take a beginner band class our freshman year in highschool. I learned trombone and he learned trumpet. We decided to use our new talent and try and play some ska. Me and Mitch (Vocals, Guitar) have already been playing music together for years, so naturally I went to him and we started writing tunes and recruiting members.


You guys have a very different sound from most modern bands, how did you develope this sound?

As i explained earlier, our poppunk roots come out a lot in our writing. Also when writing music, we try and make music we all enjoy. Our philosophy is that we're making this music to have fun, so if we aren't into it, then why do it? I think thats how we found a sound we agree on. We're all having fun, and we made a few fans along the way! 
What are some of your favorite bands?

We are honestly all over the place with our music taste. All of us listen to your usual ska bands, Catch 22, Big D and the Kids Table, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rx Bandits, etc. But then we all have our wildcards.
 
Can you tell us some fun facts about yourselves?
 
We all LOVE to play n64. Our favorite games our Wave Race, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Brothers. We always have tournaments when we hang out. I guess you can call us old school video game nerds.
Thank you again for the interview! Is there anything else you might want to tell our viewers?
