Of course, such interests “made it harder to talk to kids my age in school”, Kiszka said. “They didn’t know what any of this stuff was. It was an early realization that my family was uncommon.”

Where's the line between being influenced by classic bands and being a copycat of these very bands?

Josh Kiszka’s high and mighty voice – which, at full screech, can sound like an ejaculating hyena – has come in for special grilling. NPR balked at his “grating, maximalist pitchiness”, while the Times called his voice scratchy and shrill. Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, var. 5): 187353E1/A2 B0027675-01A MRP1782/B002767501-A JN-H STERLING We didn’t really have to force or be intense about writing, because everything that happened was very instinctual,” Jake says. “If anything, the record is our perspective, and sums up where we are as a group and individually as musicians.” The fact that some consider the result bombastic doesn’t faze him. “I can get on board with that,” he said.

At the same time, he recognizes the value of becoming a lightning rod. “If you drop flaming nitrous in someone’s lap, I think they’ll notice” he said. “It’s a sign that we’ve done something to arouse people in some way or other.” Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, var. 3): 187353E2/A B0027675-01B MRP1782/B002767501-B B20 JN-H STERLING

Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, var. 2): 187353E2/A2 B0027675-01B MRP1782/B002767501-B JN-H STERLING The band took multiple concepts from critically acclaimed second album The Battle at Garden’s Gate and brought them into Starcatcher, although Sam’s take on the new record’s big ideas hint instead at new beginnings. “When I imagine the world of Starcatcher, I think of the cosmos,” he says. “It makes me ask a lot of questions, like ‘Where did we come from?’ or ‘What are we doing here?’ But it’s also questions like, ‘What is this consciousness that we have, and where did it come from?’” At the same time, the album continues the lyrical bent of their debut. The titles of both sets employ war imagery. “We thought that would be a good through-line because war has been here since the advent of man,” Kiszka said. “There’s always conflict – from wars of religion to wars of industry.” Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, var. 1): 187353E1/A1 B0027675-01A MRP1782/B002767501-A JN-H STERLING But, “in the end. you don’t give a shit. You abandon fear because it only hinders you as a performer.”
