So there we are at a gig, supping on a few beers and rocking out when suddenly through the PA we are informed that a band called WILD STALLIONS are on the bill. Oh my freaking god, a band actually called Wild Stallions, actually here, actually tonight. We wasted no time getting some words with this most excellent band about Bill, Ted, the future and the reaper. Totally.

| And we are... |
DP: Hello Wild Stallions.
ZAC AND MIKEE: Hi, hi, hi, hi and hi.
DP: So could you guys introduce yourselves?
Z: Zak. Vocals. Accordian. Nudity.
M: Mikee. Drums. Vocals.
Z: We are also (but not present) Cameron (synths), Pete (bass) and other Pete (guitars)
DP: OK, cool, so how long have you been a band? We literally just heard about you at the show.
Z: Erm... Good question. How long have we been a band? Same sorta length of time as We Heart has been a label. So... Erm... Some time.
M: We started as a two piece doom/grind duo (me and Zak) about two years ago.
DP: You were signed to Wrong Music at some point according to that fat guy over there. How did you hook up with Henry Shitmatt?
Z: Haha we were never signed to Wrong. The fat man is wrong. Henry sent us a message once asking if we could give him a track for a comp! Then I booked Shitmatt for a gig that had to be cancelled unfortunately. We heard nothing more after that!
M: I think we were meant to record something new for him, but being the true professionals we are, still haven’t got round to it! We should maybe drop him a message though sometime…

| Be excellent to each other... |
DP: Where did you come up with the name? We're guessing it's inspired by Bill S. Preston Esq, and Ted Theodore Logan's Wyld Stallyns.
Z: We were just two guys, in kids' batman outfits to start with. But we wanted to spell our name correctly, not with fucking Ys.
M: Yeah, we started as a joke band to annoy the locals in a metal pub down in Weymouth, so the name was kind of fitting I guess.
DP: How cool were those guys when they were just a horrible garage punk band, before they turned into a Kiss cover band at the end of bogus journey? Worst ending for a film ever imo. I was almost in tears.
Z: Imo? What does that mean?
M: In my opinion… get down with the internet lingo dude! Yeh it was a horrible ending, although the grim reaper made that film. What a dude!
DP: The grim reaper was a pretty cool guy eh, kills everyone in the world, raps badly and doesn't afraid of anything.
Z: I guess.
M: OK.
DP: What's the ethos of your band? What's the thought process behind the Stallions? What does it all mean?
Z: Play loud, play anywhere with anyone, have fun and drink too much coffee.
DP: Our latest issue theme is hope. Is there any hope for the Stallions?
Z: Dear god, who knows, or wants to know the answer to that question!?!?!

| Confrontational, us? |

Z: That's alright.

"I can only guess this record is meant for the kids, and by the kids I mean exactly the sort of raucous, party-obsessed, troublemakers that terrorise our streets today. I mean there isn't even a single ballad on the album and no meaning to the songs. It's as if the entire band only care about making as much noise and annoying as many decent law-abiding people as possible. I am going to have to give this seven thumbs DOWN! An affront to the delicate sensibilities of delicate and sensitive listners across the country. BAN THIS FILTH!
