Who designs the logo/merchandise artwork for the band?
Generally the band does the artwork, although we’re thinking of using some people for the cover of the next CD. We work with a promotional partnership that handles the merchandising. MM – When you are not touring and living the life of rock n’ roll rebels, what do you do for a living? ASH: Not one of us is doing anything we would like to settle in for the next ten years apart from Violent Design. MM – How would you like to see the rock scene progress in the next couple of years? ASH: It would be good to see bands concentrate less on image and more on music. Nu-Metal just means Nu-fashioned-Metal, it’s not the next generation of passionate music. It’s watered-down over-produced toss that’s as authentic as a Chinese Elvis, that totally takes away the rock ‘n’ roll spirit. I hope that rock bands (and their labels) start to concentrate less on commercial gain and more on integrity. MM – What band would you most like to tour with? ASH: Slayer seem like the coolest band in the world to tour
