Buddyhead Vice Interview dropped

Via Vice: _"Before indie sleaze, before nu-metal mania, there was Buddyhead. Back in the days of LimeWire and landlines, the website was the best place on the internet.

Launched in 1998, it evolved into a blog full of brutal reviews and the kind of jaw-dropping industry-insider gossip that provoked legal threats from KoЯn, Courtney Love, and Axl Rose. Later, Travis Keller and co-founder Aaron North started a record label that released albums by groundbreaking artists like At The Drive-In, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and North’s own band, The Icarus Line.

The pair were the era’s biggest pisstakers. When they weren’t spray-painting slurs on The Strokes’ tour bus, or making their “Torture Device” crank calls to Tenacious D’s manager, they were usually winding up Fred Durst. Keller stole three of his famous red baseball caps before auctioning them off for charity after a woman was assaulted during Limp Bizkit’s set at Woodstock ’99.

Unsurprisingly, the pair made plenty of enemies in the industry, and a huge amount of fans outside of it.

He is also currently crowdfunding On the Lash, a documentary cut from 250 hours of mini DV tapes he shot between 1998 and 2005."
