Recently, DutchMetalManiac\u2019s Tim van Velthuysen interviewed Pissing Razors.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, how are you?<\/strong> Can you tell us something about the history of Pissing Razors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Rodriguez (vocals): Pissing Razors is the brainchild of Eddy Garcia and Mat Lynch formed in 1994, with Danny Garcia (Eddy\u2019s brother) and Dave (Loco Pelon) McNutt infusing groove oriented heavy metal with punk rock. After performing and recording a few demo tapes, Loco Pelon would exit the band and Joe Rodriguez would enter the fold in 1996 and recorded Psycho Punko Metal Groove<\/em> which was released independently. Danny Garcia would leave the band and was replaced by Rick Valles. After touring extensively in support of Psycho Punko Metal Groove<\/em>, Pissing Razors would eventually get signed to Noise Records and release two records, Pissing Razors<\/em> and Cast Down the Plague<\/em>, with the lineup to include Eddy Garcia, Mat Lynch, Joe Rodriguez and Rick Valles, to tour extensively in Europe and the US. In 1999, we would see the lineup change with the departure of Mat Lynch and replaced by Cesar Soto. In 2000 would bring another lineup with the departure of Joe Rodriguez replaced by Jason Bragg. We would continue to tour and yet another lineup change would occur in 2002 with the departure of Jason Bragg and Cesar Soto. Both members would be replaced by Andre Acosta and Mat Difabio. In 2004, we would see the eventual hiatus of Pissing Razors after the release of Evolution<\/em>, the last record released by the band until 2014 when original members Eddy Garcia, Mat Lynch and Joe Rodriguez would reunite and team up with Geo Gomez to complete the lineup. Rick Valles was asked to participate in the reunion, but declined due to family commitments and remains an integral part of the history of this band. Pissing Razors has since toured in 2018 and released two singles in 2019, and for 2020 we released a cover of Nailbomb\u2019s Wasting Away<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
