One
Dead, Three Wounded is a five-piece metalcore group from Philadelphia,
PA. Forming late in 1998, One Dead, Three Wounded began establishing themselves
by playing shows in venues throughout the Philadelphia area and southern New Jersey.
In December of 2000 they recorded their first demo. After selling a few hundred
copies and playing shows from Conneticut to Florida, they returned to the studio
to record "The Heroin Demo," they have since cultivated a sound that
is both savvy and brutal. Being their most current release, [the heroin demo]
has continued to see great success, and has travelled to listeners far and wide.
Within the past year, One Dead, Three Wounded has played shows all over the east
coast, including a three-week tour with Saved by Grace (Recorse Records) and Dark
Day Dawning (Resurrection AD Records). In the summer 03’ ODTW toured the
east coast by themselves on two occasions. One Dead Three Wounded’s debut
full length, “Paint the Town”, is on the shelves NOW thanks to
Lovelost /
Burning Season Records. DO visit the website - that naked chick is fucking freaky...

+ Is there ANY talent in The Strokes?
Mike: I’m not really a big fan of them, it gets too repetitive
for me - but I
do believe they have some talent. They right some catchy parts.
Jim:
I don't know, but they sure are dirty.
Jay: I think they write good
catchy songs.
Tim: no, but they’re awesome
Bob: eh, maybe.
+
What's your favorite reality television show?
Mike: I guess
(the) Real World, there’s lots of hot girls and everyone gets in fights -
it pretty amusing to watch.
Jim: American Idol is the only one I occasionally
watch.
Jay: The Mole
Tim: don’t watch em.. .
Bob:
The Simpsons. 
+ You can live rent-free in any city in the US, where would you pack & head
to and why?
Mike: Probably California just cause the weather
is nice all the time, but I
do love Philly it’s a chillin place to live.
Jim:
I like living in Philly so I'd probably just stay here and mooch the
free
rent money for a cool place downtown.
Jay: L.A., weather.
Tim:
Philly, I love it
Bob: Juneau, Alaska. It's been a life long dream of
mine to fight a polar
bear to the death.
+
Bush, Kerry or Nader?
Mike: Well I don’t know if I’m
gonna vote, but if I did I would probably
vote for Kerry, Bush is an idiot.
Jim:
I’m staying out of this one.
Jay: I don’t vote
Tim:
Kerry
Bob: Nader, cause his name is way cooler.
+
Is there any particular band/artist you know of & love that we the people
should invest more time in hearing?
Mike: Blacklisted
(Stillborn Records) These guys are a amazing, straight up in your face hardcore.
Check them out you won’t be disappointed.
Jim: Stephen
Malkmus
Jay: 2 Skinnee J's
Tim:
The Kiss of Death
Bob: YES.
That is both the answer to the question, and the band which people should listen
to.
+
Where'd the name one dead, three wounded originate?
Mike: We were watching the news and there was a headline for “one
dead, three wounded” and it just stuck with us. I guess you were hoping for
something more meaningful ha sorry.
Jim: It was a news headline on TV
that I believe Tim picked up on.
Jay: It was a news headline on TV.
Tim:
I hate this question.
Bob: (Actually) We were in a car accident
in June of 1978, and "One dead three wounded" was the headline of the
next day's newspaper article. Mike was the only one left uninjured. Tim is now
a beard-weilding zombie, while Jay, Jim, and I have many numerous scars that we
wish not to share.
+ what song, from any era, would you say leads
the race for an overall theme of pedophilia?
Mike: Definitely
the Britney Spears Video!!
Jim: Probably Britney Spears'
One More Time. I’m sure lots of gross old men lost it to this video of an
under-age girl in a school uniform.
Jay: who cares
Tim: huh?
Bob:
Machine Gun Majesty, from Soilwork. The solo is so good it makes me want
to touch kids, so i assume it has the same effect on others.
+
.. . on that note - R Kelly got nearly a third of his (20+) pornographic-related
charges dropped - now does he get into Heaven for being the "world's greatest"?
Mike: Well he does believe he can fly - so maybe.
Jim:
ummm...no.
Jay: Hell it is.
Tim: ?
Bob: I think,
and hope so. +
Which band would you most cherish a reunion of (any band, whether members are
alive or not)?
Mike: I’d say either Earth Crisis
or Turmoil, two of my favorite bands of all time.
Jim: Nirvana.
Jay:
Turmoil, Refused (!!!), Earth Crisis, or Motley Crue
Tim:
Earth Crisis, Turmoil
Bob: Led Zeppelin. (best
answer EVER! - k)
+
What is talent?
Mike: Well, certainly talent as an
individual is playing your instrument
well. But talent as a band is jelling
well with the people you are playing
with and structuring songs that flow
well. We aren’t the most amazing
musicians, but we get by. You won’t
hear us shredding (we get other people to do that for us ha) and doing drum solos
all over the place, but we never play anything that we aren’t comfortable
with and we just try to play everything as tight as possible.
Jim: Any
kind of ability to do something well.
Jay: Having an extreme gift to
do something either natural or acquired.
Tim: Ain't got none.
Bob:
The ability to walk on water. Thank god we've been blessed with some talent.
+
What is your favorite constellation?
Mike: Is Hercules a Constellation?
If so he is my favorite, he is a tough
dude.
Jim: Orion’s belt.
Jay:
the Dippers.
Tim: Bitches.
Bob: Orion, probably because
it's the only one I can ever find.
+
Is Mel Gibson a good man?
Mike: I don’t know if he is
a good man or not, but he certainly was a bad
ass in Braveheart!
Jim:
yea, he seems a bit crazy in interviews, but I think he means well.
Jay:
sure
Tim: FUCK no
Bob: eh, me and Mel are on good terms. +
What question do you get asked the most that you feel should be erased from all
human thought?
Mike: "Which one is dead and which
one is wounded?" We hear that all the time - it’s just a name dammit!!
Jim:
"can you lend me your Family Guy DVD’s?"
Jay: "So
which member is dead and which are wounded, and how can there be one dead
three wounded when you have 5 members?" This usually comes from adults when
I tell them our band name.
Tim: "who’s the dead one?"
Bob:
"Where's the beef?"
+ Does Oprah HAVE to be on the cover
of her magazine O all the time?
Mike: She doesn’t have to be
on it, but if you had that much you would do whatever you wanted to do to.
Jim:
I hate Oprah.
Jay: What is O
Tim: She fat
Bob: I
guess so. The funny thing is, I actually heard that the name 'Oprah' is a misspelling
of what her parents intended. Her birth certificate was supposed to read 'Orpah'. +
Best band name of ALL TIME:
Mike: Well One Dead Three Wounded
of course! I have always loved Drowning Man personally.
Jim: I'm gonna
have to go with Nirvana again.
Jay: Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer
Tim:
Passion
Bob: The Sad Cows
(stolen Q splendid) We're considering
lobbying the government to pass a law banning the use of certain overplayed words
--for example, "new", "flaming" and "electric" -- in band names. What other word(s)
should be banned?
Mike: Any season of the year or month of
the year - way over used.
Jim: Any of the months.
Jay: Seasons
and months
Tim: Fuck republicans
Bob: Leave the banning for
the republicans.
+
The Backstreet Boys are said to be back in the studio - your thoughts?
Mike: Aren’t they like 30 now? I think there name is false advertising.
Time
to hang 'em up.
Jim: I wanna start a boy band.
Jay:
"Get out of the studio"
Tim: We’re the new bb
boys, fuck off haters
Bob: aW3S0M3!1!%#@$#!
+ Is it
swift to pay $15 for 15 songs from napster now that major hands have control?
Is it to make us feel less guilty or make the fat man fatter?
Mike: Its definitely to make the fat man fatter, if CD’s weren’t
so
expensive I don’t think kids would have a problem going and buying
them. But when they hick up prices the way they do you know its gonna push people
away.
Jim: No, its not swift.
Jay: Thumbs down
Tim:
Napster is old news
Bob: There are other programs to use; Napster is
basically dead, but file
sharing will never be fully stopped.
+
Have you ever picked up a "lot
lizard'?
Mike: No I can’t say I have had the privilege
of picking one up, some day
though... . some day.
Jim: No I haven't.
Jay:
?
Tim: I’m straight
Bob: I'm not totally sure what this
means. I'm hoping I don't have one
though.
+
What scares you? Mike:
Well, in the real world, war scares me, but if we are talking about
movies
and what not - then zombies scare the shit out of me!! Did you see Dawn of
the Dead? Jesus Christ that messed with my mind.
Jim: Growing up.
Jay:
Getting old and spiders
Tim: Crusters
Bob: Heavy music. ![[hear it]](HEARIT.gif) ![[buy it]](BUYIT.gif) ![[vis it]](VISITIT.gif)
