Harkonen Quotes

“When something gets old, it’s not revolutionary anymore,”
“Punk doesn’t necessarily have to mean full-blown Marshall stacks and a guy with tattoos screaming in front of the band. Punk went through that image, and – how do I say this? – that whole aesthetic has been spent. When a band looks like that, I automatically assume that they’re not punk. It’s just another MTV2 band. They may have the best intentions and the best morals, but I kind of automatically assume the worst.

“It probably just has to do with now punk’s been around for 30 years or whatever. Naturally, there’s going to be people who expand musically as they get older,”
“People who really took something out of growing up in a punk band, growing up in a hardcore band, it’s cool. It’s going to benefit mainstream music or widen perspectives on music when people come from this healthy self-run punk-rock community are making something other than punk rock. I think that will benefit everything eventually.”
