Santa Rosa Laguna’s PILEDRIVER might have had more than their fair share of trials and tribulations in the past, but they prove that nothing can keep a good, dedicated band down. And though there seems to be a resurgence of the genre with the advent of numerous metal-core bands in the present music scene, the band is already toasting to their thirteenth year of uncompromising music, with their upcoming second full-length Southside Kings. Kids, THIS is hardcore.
PULP: Do you feel to recount a short history of the band, how it was formed and the many twists and turns the band has undergone (personal changes, releases, etc.)
Howell: Piledriver was just a sideband before from the guys of Children of the Damned and Homecide who loved to play Madball covers. It all started there…
