- In the latest episode, Luke and Justin talk with Tad Miller, drummer of one of the pioneers of powerviolence, Crossed Out. Tad recounts his beginnings in music in school, playing percussion with power and theatricality in a way that influenced his “caveman” approach to drumming in his band. He also notes the perhaps seemingly unlikely impact on him of genres like prog and funk, as well as his connection to punk over metal. Crossed Out’s formation and subsequent time before calling it quits, as well as its legacy and importance to others is discussed, with the caveat that you can never count out the possibility of their eventual terrifying return.
The concept of Cult and Culture began as a short segment created by Justin Pearson, an internationally known musician, record label owner (Three One G Records), author, and actor. He is perhaps best known as bassist for bands such as Dead Cross, The Locust, and Some Girls as well as vocalist for Deaf Club, Swing Kids, and Planet B. Having traveled the world touring in hardcore and punk bands since age 15, Justin has come to know and work with a broad spectrum of captivating personalities and brilliant minds, many of which are key figures in the realm of popular culture and cult followings alike-- from being on the soundtrack to John Waters’ Cecil B. Demented, to acting in an Asia Argento’s Incompresa, to playing in Dead Cross with Mike Patton and Dave Lombardo. Cult and Culture arose as an opportunity to document bits and pieces of the DIY-driven, subversive world of art Pearson identifies with- one that many are not aware of or perhaps have misconceptions about.
Eventually, Pearson joined up with producer and bandmate Luke Henshaw (Sonido De La Frontera, Planet B, Satanic Planet, First Power Crew) to build the idea into a proper podcast, now recorded at his own PengOne Studios in San Diego. Henshaw has collaborated with hip hop legends such as Invisible Skratch Piklz’ D-Styles and Q-Bert, Kool Keith, in addition to being immersed in the world of Cumbia alongside Sonido De La Frontera bandmate Karlos Paez (B Side Players). He also recently scored the music for upcoming documentary Sk8face, which tells the history of skateboard graphics. In this way, both Justin and Luke are influenced by a diverse array of subcultures that all have connected roots. John Waters was one of the first people interviewed for the podcast- an icon of both cult and culture. Since then, guests have included a broad scope of musicians, producers, authors, and anyone passionate about what they do-- anyone from Grammy-winning musician Juan Alderete (Mars Volta, Racer X, creator of Pedals And Effects) to actor Michael Malarkey (Vampire Diaries, Project Bluebook), from San Diego Black Panther Party members to longtime partners Nicola and Adam in electro-punk band ADULT. or The Satanic Temple cofounder Lucien Greaves (who would go on to form Satanic Planet with Luke and Justin as a direct result of their podcast conversation). The focus is not intended to be solely on people in any one realm, and because guests are friends and family, the conversations are frank, informal yet well-informed, and genuine. Pearson and Henshaw seek to achieve a casual openness, blurring lines between traditional guest and host. Cult and Culture is available on iTunes and SoundCloud and new episodes will be premiering on Brooklyn Vegan. You can find the latest episode premiere here. Links to the previous podcasts are below.

My time playing shows and having to follow Crossed Out always caused a bit of anxiety. They were powerful and brutal and Tad just beat the f*** out of the drums. Those were the days
Great interview. LOVE crossed out to this day. EYEHATEGOD is absolutely not the backing band on the vanilla ice record,where did that come from?
Cheers
Thank you so much for recording these conversations. I used to do sandwich shifts at the Che with Justin Man of Sloog when I was an overseas student studying at UCSD for a year. It was 93 to 94 so I arrived during a chaotic hiatus at the Che when the only gigs were Physics and later Unwound. I feel I’m late to the party discovering The Locust, but I don’t think all the bands you talk about would ever be possible without The Che. Thank you!
Nailed it. Viva Che Cafe!
Thank you so much Justin for this! The reason I discovered Crossed Out was because of The Locust. You have always been very vocal about how Crossed Out is a LEGENDARY band and huge part of SD. The first crossed out 7" inspired my music overall. From the drumming to the vocals. I owe my life to Crossed Out for making my life a lot better and guiding me to play drums till the day I die. Crossed Out also taught me something that many bands lack: PURE ANGER! Nothing will ever compared how pissed off Crossed Out was and will always be. Crossed Out is the best band out of the 619
Holy shit thanks
@@dallasvankempen5520 thank you for being my biggest inspiration
Really enjoyed this! I don’t recall ever really reading too many interviews with Crossed Out so this was interesting!
PS I used to think the same about GG Allin, but the record to check out (that has the great songs) is the first lp - Always Was, Is And Always Shall Be 👍🏻
Tad ! It's an honor to be your friend . 🥹
awesomeeeeee
So awesome!
TAD is rad...coolest 🐈
Funked Out record, please!.....that'd actually be pretty dope. haha
Crossed Out was, and will always be one of my absolute favorites - if you hear them, and don't immediately vibe with that level of sheer intensity and bone crushing rawness......I just feel bad for you, you puddin' ass herb.
I'm just glad that Crosses Out was able to make such an impact, that there are now basically Crossed Out-worship bands, who are great flag-bearing representations, of that sound - the band/recording project/one-man-band, Internal, being one of my personal faves.
trevor vaugn is an absolute mad man internal and his other project wound man are the two best bands carrying the crossed out torch right now. other bands through the years like scapegoat and mind eraser were some of my favorites as well.
Fugg yesss!
I love you Tad
FUCK YEAH
Hah I wish vanilla ice collaborated with eyehategod
I thought the name came from Septic Death "Crossed Out Twice"
Nope
