“We’re incredibly proud of this record, so much so that we’re selfreleasing this one on a limited edition red vinyl.” – they conclude. Also, some songs are just about getting older and having to deal with heartburn, like in R.O.C.” “But as the album progressed, it quickly became more of a way to accept that some people are disappointing and that we just have to deal with it rats is rats as we say. Lyrically, the band revealed that most of this album came from the need to vent and to find a way to discard their current frustrations. But for this release, we cheated a little bit and added an overdub or two and even some keyboards, like in the song Father’s Day.” We usually have one rule and that’s to ‘record songs as you would play them live’. We did them all in order and you can actually hear the main vocals giving up a little bit towards the end of the album, on Leave it. We recorded all the music in one day, then did all the vocals the following day. “We hold mild self-deprecation in very high regard. But when he answered that, we both knew those two words HAD to be on the cover.” At that time, we had another title in mind for the album. One time, I remember asking Topon after a take ‘Hey, how was that one?’, he simply said ‘it’s fairly consistent’. “Meaning we played each song a bunch of times and chose the best take. “We recorded all the songs live off the floor in 2 days.” – continues the band. Once again, it was recorded, mixed and mastered by Topon Das (from the grindcore band Fuck the Facts).

The album was recorded the album at Apartment 2 Recording in Ottawa, Ontario, the same place the band did the last record. With so many influences and a shared love of music, there’s always a sick groove, weird pattern or odd time signature that we want to try.” “Every song after that one came out of a feeling of wanting to explore different variations of our sound and usual song structures. “After we had ‘Rats’ in the can, we knew another album was unavoidable.” – they say. The band wrote the first song Rats is Rats at the first jam they had right after recording their previous album Armwell to Farms. “ Fairly Consistent” album was written in sequence. “Whether you hear the influence of these songs directly in our music or not, they were a huge inspiration and drove us creatively.”. The band shared their picks for top 10 songs from the past decade, that in one way or another helped shape them individually as musicians or simply kicked them in the face when they first heard them. We asked the band to share more influences and we’ve got a nice list that will keep your creative jusices going. More recently, the albums we bonded over the most are probably Light Up Gold (Parquet Courts) and Joy As An Act Of Resistance (Idles).” “There’s certain albums that we absolutely agree on, like Mclusky Do Dallas (Mclusky), Audit In Progress (Hot Snakes) and Over The Edge (Wipers). “Our main influences are pretty classic, covering bands like Black Flag, Nirvana, Hüsker Dü, Big Black, Melvins, Fugazi and Helmet.” – they admit.
