Brian Brannon singer of the most known and respected Skate Rock band across the world, JFA, sits down to talk about the release of their first new album since 1999, Speed Of Sound!
Tx Punk: So, your shooting a video for one of your new songs to be released via Blank TV... How's that going? Any interesting info?
Brian: Yeah man, it went super good. A lot of ripping went down. Dave Reul and Lance Mountain showed up, along with a lot of our pool ripper bros. The song is called Danny Sargent's Trucks, so it's all about grinding and some heavy duty grinds went down. Reuler was pulling frontside 50-50s over the light, over the death box and over the hip, like 25 coping blocks. It was insane. My buddy Jake Reuter from Joker's Skate Shop was doing Hurricanes for days. There were about 20 people skating and about 50 people hanging out. It was at our buddy Punker Ron's pool and we even played a short set. Definitely a good time was had by all!
Tx Punk: Your also releasing a new album I hear! Is there a rough release date?
Brian: Looks like it's going to be in stores in July. Name of it is Speed of Sound. We worked hard to make it the best CD we've put out so far. Lots of fast stuff in the old style with some more modern lyrics. I'm stoked on it.
Tx Punk: What's your favorite song from the new album so far?
Brian: That's hard to say because I've been listening to it so much. I like Danny Sargent's Trucks a lot. We also have one called Party Like the Amish that's pretty rockin'. And there's a song called Wilson that's about slamming. I think we're going to do a video for that one too and show a whole bunch of beefs!
Tx Punk: Anything you want to say about the new album?
Brian: Just that anybody who likes JFA should definitely dig it. Be sure to check it out.
