How are you doing with this pandemic?
T-I'm doing well. Working, being safe, waiting for things to start opening up.
Tone- I'm doing alright just taking one dat at a time
Jose-Well, it's tough being in lockdown and not to be able to play shows
How did you get into punk?
T-I started playing when I was in high school and punk was the perfect sound for the alienation I felt. I started listening to Social Distortion and Rancid... kinda went everywhere from there but Bad Religion is the one that hooked me... still does.
Tone-what I remember I was a Jr. or Senior in High School someone gave me a punk Mix cd and I got into bands like Pennywise that's one of the 1st bands I got into then
Minor Threat and Nerve Agents. Its hilarious my 1st punk show was Flogging Molly with Briggs. My 1st backyard show I saw Heavy Artillery but I didn't see them cuz Erik the Drummer/vox got into an argument with a cop. I ended up seeing them a different day (R.I.P Nik Ulmer)
How did Culpa started?
T-Culpa really started after high school, in many ways, Marco (Tone- Vox) and I started playing together when I graduated high school in a band that seemed to have a revolving door of musicians. It was like a workshop for people that wanted to play but couldn't, perfect way to start! I eventually left the band and lost touch with Marco, but we eventually reconnected when he moved into the neighborhood where my grandparents live. We started jamming and that slowly morphed into Culpa.
Tone- Culpa started.I got frustrated of not being able to find a drummer that was down to play Pv. So I was determined to learn. I reached out to my ex-guitarist T. I found him on Facebook when I had one . I was in a Band with him before Culpa. I moved in a Street where we used to practice in his grandparents house. lol now we're neighbors.I wanted to start a bilingual band and be a latinopv. so we agreed to play when he had a chance he's in a rock en español and him starting to work for the district and I was too so we started the summer 2016 as a 2 piece.
How did the name come about?
How the name Culpa came bout is that I'm a Despise you Fan I got it from there song titled Culpa Mia. but I took off the word Mia cuz it would sound like someone had it. Also I wanted the band name to be in Spanish.
I know you guys had the first split with xGrifox, but I also notice that Biggs from xGrifox recorded some of the songs for Culpa. What’s the story behind it?
Tone- Culpa took a break for a bit cuz I had my oldest which now he's 2. I told T hey I need to record cuz there a split with Leachate that I need songs . he told me he couldn't it at the moment. so I reached out to Biggs and asked if he can be in the band for a short term until I was able to find someone permanently. He say yeah and he help me with Leachate split.
Jose-I came shortly after the Leachate Split
