You recently did a split release with Science Fiction Theater to promote your song Elvis, can you tell us a bit about how this collaboration came together? Well Mike Jimenez who sings for SFT is the drummer for Rufio who audio karate toured with. Plus we're from the same part of Southern California. So when I decided to start writing music again I started doing so by collaborating with Mike on some songs. It's also the way we met Shawn Sullivan who ended up mixing our record.
What was it like to record with Shawn Sullivan? How did he contribute to the creation of your latest EP? He brought it all together, the feel and sound of it. We actually re-recorded some guitars and vocals with him. I'm pretty sure he's a madman but he might be a genius.
What was it like to work on a release together as a band again? As it's been a while since you guys worked on a full album together? Its like the old adage about never forgetting to ride a bicycle. It didn't feel strange or difficult.
Are you guys working on a new album to follow this? If so how is that coming along? We're gonna release this EP in February on Walnut Tree records and go from there. We do have an albums worth of material so when the time comes we’ll be ready
How did you guys end up on Walnut Tree Records, and how excited are you to have your EP come out here in the UK? Tom from the label approached us, he had seen audio karate play in London years back and had heard about Indian School. We're very excited we've always been well received in the UK so it makes perfect sense that we d release this in the UK first.
What do you want 2012 to do for Indian School? I'm trying not to think to much about this year and what's gonna happen. I just wanted to create music again and I've done that so if it all ended for us tomorrow Id actually be ok with it.....until the next car accident of course!
e Audio Karate then what you are ead will please you very much! ool is the same band (well with t line up changes) with a new eir new EP ‘The Cruelest Kind’ is for the world to hear! Check as Indian School are ones to look 012!”
