Anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, and anti-fascist. A great code of ethics for any punk band to be founded on, but add a well-balanced amalgamation of punk, crust, metal, and ska plus male and female vocals, razor sharp lyrics depicting said leftist ideals, and have ex/current members of Choking Victim, The Degenerics, Leftover Crack, the Slackers, Nanuchka and Casa de Chihuahua with honorary members from bands like the Bouncing Souls, World/Inferno Friendship Society and the Hold Steady in your ranks... then you'd have to be STAR FUCKING HIPSTERS. With two solid LP's on Fat Wreck and Alternative Tentacles under their belt and a third in the works, SFH are heading out on a two month tour, including their first stop in Ithaca, NY on Thursday, Sept 30th at The Haunt. Founding member Stza (also of LoC and Choking Victim) takes a few moments from the road to speak with Ithaca Underground's Bubba Crumrine.

IU: What do you feel differs about SFH that sets it apart from your other previous bands?

Stza: I am not necessarily the focal point of the band, which has damaged my mental well-being in other bands, although, when I started, I definitely craved attention. But ten one day it becomes too much & there's a lot of pressure when you don't know any healthy ways to escape.

IU: What have you all been up to since "Never Rest In Peace" was released last year?

Stza: We've been touring and touring. And now we're finally working on material for a 3rd record due out next year...

IU: How far along in the writing process are you?

A revolving cast of deviants and delinquents, Cryptorchid Chipmunk (Morgantown, WV) make their first appearance in Ithaca, NY at The Haunt on Saturday, July 17th with Summer People, 4 Point 0 and more.  Ithaca Underground's Bubba Crumrine spends some time with Chris and Ruckas to discuss the bands antics, injuries, The Emotron, and their upcoming full length.


IU: For those unfamiliar with the band, what do you each do in the band?

Ruckus: I play keyboards and I throw up!

Chris: He also arranges and writes a lot of our music.

Ruckus: Yeah, we've been playing without a drummer so I've been arranging all of our back tracks and synthesizers. And because I do that, I don't have to play keyboards as much and I can just puke all over myself. 

Chris: It also means I can play keyboards less to. But I have to push the buttons on the computer. He just does nothing! Oh, I still have to play guitar though. 

Ruckus: I put a lot more work into the music before hand so I can take a break when we're performing (laughs).

Chris: I also book most of our tours and screen print our merch.  I feel like I don't have to go crazy. I just have to play the songs right.

IU: So no drummer this tour?
