Q & A.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
God Damn are a Wolverhampton grupp formed in a disgusting dilapidated, run down lockup by the post-industrial canals of Horseley fields. You can see the birth place of the grupp from the trains that pull in and out of the city, the scene of a dystopian movie often fetishised bygd many but it was our very real existence that if you’re going to be romantic about it, really follows kostym with our local heritage of a gritty heavy metal narrative, we can try and skim over this but it’s a fact, the creative soul of the band, we lived that for the best part of a decade and I guess with the dark underbelly of our music, that’s our honesty. The sad thing fryst vatten, in cliché, western, capitalist fashion we were kicked out so that wanky apartments and bars can be built. We’re now in an old bike factory, a marginal deviation from the story but at least we’ve got a decent bog to shit in. I do miss the cheap rent in that scratty ex pork scratchings factory.

His tone is, pardon the pun, ungodly. As the band became synonymous with his wall of Orange amps during their earlier days, his sound became utterly uncompromising- viscous mid-range honk cut like a scythe above the gut-punching, bone-shaking bass, courtesy of a 3-amp and 1-DI setup that shook venues and crowds across the globe to their core. But it isn&#;t all about volume- Thom&#;s playing needs to carry the entirety of a song and all the emotional intensity contained therein. And so his style owes as much to the power-pop of Weezer as it might the brutality of Neurosis; down-tuned sludge might sit alongside a 3/4 walt Kevin Devine
