Fadd9: Interview

words by Katherine Stallard, photo courtesy of Fadd9

Portland Oregon based alternative punk band Fadd9, have finally dropped their well awaited EP onto the music scene. As a young, mostly high schooler comprised band, Fadd9 is ready to inject your life with super high-energy, brilliantly influenced tracks that will make you wanna lose control. Loud, rowdy, and pure garage punk genius, these tunes are ones that you’re going to want to blast full volume for anyone who will listen. Comprised of Bryce Cumpston, Beck Cheevers, Rory Cheevers and Gabe Armattoe, this spirited band shocks listeners with their edge but draws them in with their infectious passion. Electric Daze had the pleasure to sit down with the Fadd9 boys and talk their six track EP ‘Welcome to Mars’, and what makes them the unlikely and unapologetic force to be reckoned with that they are.

Electric Daze: So I hear figuring out your band name was pretty difficult. Could you tell me how you finally decided on Fadd9 and what it took to get there?

Bryce Cumpston (drums): “We didn’t have a name for like two months. Beck literally hated everything anyone brought up.”

Beck Cheevers (vocals and guitar): “Yeah it took us a while, we like narrowed it down to five things-”

Gabe Armattoe (bass guitar): “We had it on a whiteboard, we took several votes-”

Rory Cheevers (lead guitar): “Each person got to vote twice and then it ended up tying.”

Gabe: “Eventually we all got fed up and Fadd9 was one of the options-”

Rory: “And then we’re just like ‘why not’?”

ED: What does Fadd9 mean for those who might now know?

Beck: “It’s the opening chord to ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ By The Beatles. It’s like this bell chime thing at the beginning of the song”.

Me when I see a bug on my wall: *Breathes heavily* Okay, Okay. No big deal.
Me at bug: Hello bug friend. If you would just stay there I will leave you alone. Deal?
*bug starts flying*
Me: aHHHUJAKKDjksaalkij;poJHHHHIKK,M

alright so none of you care because I never use tumblr anymore and my old tumblr empire is a crumbled pile of rubble but the author of my favorite series of all time answered this ask 22 days ago and considering the last book she wrote came out at least three years ago that means she answered my ask that is at least three years old and I’m lucky enough to have come back on tumblr in time to see it-what a world

ok so i made the mistake of standing on the beach in the dark and listen…….. listen. there is nothing that cares about you less than the ocean in the dead of night. it is tangible. you can’t fuckin see a thing. there is no horizon. it’s a ceaseless void and she cares for no one and loves nothing. you have to respect her bcs she clearly has no fuckin love for you and if she wanted she could take you and NO ONE WOULD KNOW

my dying body: please…. feed me a vegetable……..
