Hey what's up people,
I'm sad to but I'm going on a hiatus, and putting this on hold. I been busy work and life, and the band. So we are going out with a bang. This week I interview Stolen. sick Drum and bass band from IL. They one band recording or they a 3 piece band live. Enjoy this interview
My name is Juan Angel Perez. I play in Stolen, a Power Violence band from Aurora, IL.
I’m doing ok for the most part. Not much to complain about at the moment.
I got into punk in high school when I was like 15 (I’m 22 currently). A guy I was tryin to start a band with said I should listen to Descendents and Black Flag and then it just snowballed from there.
Stolen was an idea I was spitballing with a friend, it was originally supposed to be a Dystopia worship type band. Eventually it turned into a pv project and we got a buddy to do guitar but then both of em didn’t commit like I was asking plus drama bullshit started happening so I kicked them, I already knew drums so I picked up bass to continue the band as a one man project.
I write and perform all the music you hear on recordings. I got a few homies who handle bass and backing vocals whenever I need em. Sometimes Stolen performs as a 2 piece or a 3 piece depending on who can come with. I handle drums and main vocals since a drummer is hard to come by.
Me and Pedro had been talking about doing a split for a while before we actually both had time to do it. We had caught on to each other and had mutual appreciation for what we were doing. Us both being into corridos and being from Michoacán is what helped make the album cover you see for our split.
Definitely got more releases on the way, only definite one in the works currently is a split with Bimbos from Rhode Island. I plan to at least drop 1 album at some point.
Shoutouts I wanna give are to all the great people in Dipt, Hollowed Worship, Lacking, Oklahoma Ryder Truck, Party Rice, Flux Capacitor, Bimbos, Influencer, Ropeman and Madrugado.
