My name is Jameson but everyone calls me Jamo. I play guitar and do vocals in Hoy Pinoy. I also have a upcoming new doom/sludge band called Deep Tomb with members from Cave State, Violencia and Bruce Campbell. How did you get into punk? I got into punk in the 7th grade through friends and video games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater. I started off listening to skate punk, which led to street punk and old hardcore, then fell in love with powerviolence/fastcore/grindcore. Who’s in Hoy Pinoy, how did Hoy Pinoy get started? How did you guys come up with the band name? Other members of Hoy Pinoy are the Castro brothers Matt(bassist) and Jon(drums). We’ve known each other since the 7th grade. In the 9th grade we started a Misfits cover band called The Goonies. We played backyard shows almost every weekend for a couple years. Later on, we decided to start a powerviolence band. Matt came up with the name Hoy Pinoy(think it was a parody name to Oi Polloi) and started making fast music about all the random shit we love and hate. What are your guys influences? Our main influences were Spazz, Charles Bronson, Fuck on the Beach, Capitalist Casualties,! Crossed Out, Infest, No Comment, Lack Of Interest, and Man is the bastard. Do you guys have any upcoming releases? Hoy Pinoy has been on hiatus for a while, we’ve only played a handful shows for the past several years. We do plan to get back together sometime in the near future to work on new shit though. any shout out you want to give?Shouts out to Nolan, Sarah, Mom, Dad, Justin, Matt, Jon, Joser, Joel, Sergio, Miguel and to all the people that support us! 626 Flipcore!
