I got a chance to ask Harrison of Victory Kid a few questions.... Enjoy

Punk Globe: Thanks so much for the interview can you give us some background on Victory Kid. In what year did you form?

Harrison: We have been playing together for a few years, but we only fairly recently named the band and put music out. Tuck Frump is our first release as a band! So we put the

date around January 1, 2018.

Punk Globe: Where is the band located?

Harrison: We all live on the westside of Los Angeles

Punk Globe: Tell us who is in the band what they play?

Harrison: Harrison is the singer, songwriter and guitarist, Nathan the bassist and backing vocalist and Carlo is the drummer.

Punk Globe: How did you come up with Victory Kid for your bands name?

Harrison: Victory Kid is actually a Star Wars reference, which is a significant influence creatively for Harrison. A Victory Kid is from the generation of children born after the Rebels defeated the Empire during the battle of Endor. These kids lived without the tyranny of the Empire, a vision we have for the generations after us.

Punk Globe: Tell us some of Victory Kids influences are?

Harrison: Victory Kid is a fusion of many different types of rock, with specific sonic influences from ranging from the nineties to modern day. We knew going into recording we wanted to have a very modern sound, which we think you can especially hear in the drums. Stylistically, the biggest influencers on our songs are Sum-41, Blink-182, Sublime, and Goldfinger. Of course the list is way longer than that, but a combination of those four gives you a good idea.

Punk Globe: You recently released a single Tuck Frump.. A fun play on words although I prefer FUCK frump... Give us all the details about the release?

Harrison: Harrison wrote “Tuck Frump” a week after the 2016 election, so it contains the raw emotions that many of us were feeling at that time. We felt it would be a strong first release because of the message of hope that people are looking for. It’s depressing how many reasons people lose hope now, from the school shootings to the threat of nuclear war, etc. While we also are scared and pissed off, the message of the song is actually to find a better way of living together to find a solution.

Also, if more press was willing to publish “Fuck Trump” we were heavily considering that so way to be on the modern side of censorship!

Punk Globe: Any personal advice that you would give the tangerine terrorist?

Harrison: In the words of the great Michael Jordan… “Stop. Get some help.” All joking aside, think about the world you are creating. Put the power aside for a minute, since clearly that is a big deal to you. Fine, you won the election, you have the arguably the most power of any man on the planet.You did what you set out to do. But now you’re blundering around because you don’t actually have any ideals or morals, everything you have done has been for corporations. You have to do something to reunite the country that you have polarized so heavily, and it’s not going to be a military parade. Listen to your advisors, only the great presidents do.

Give us a call man, we’ll get you there.

Punk Globe: Did you play a release party for the single yet?

Harrison: We had a listening party and jam session at Carlo’s Place in Culver City, and it was lit! We actually showed everyone the video for “My World”, which is coming out soon, and listened to the entire unreleased album as well! We have incredible base of friends who have been such huge factors in getting us to where we are now. To be able to plan shows, music videos, parties, and know that you’ll get a good crowd there and it will be a good night is so crucial for our content and keeping us in the right headspace!

Punk Globe: Will you be doing a tour to support the release?

Harrison: We are planning on doing a West Coast tour to support the album release which is in May, and will be short stints to a few other cities before then. Our eyes are set on places like San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and Sacramento.

Punk Globe: How about a video? Maybe have Stormy Daniels make a cameo in it.

Harrison: The video is taking longer than we thought, since we’ve had some editorial changes. We are stoked about the new direction and the new level of production that we are working towards with it, so the release of that will be announced soon.

As of now there’s a very real lack of Stormy Daniels in our video, but it’s not done yet so who knows!

Punk Globe: Favorite venue to play at?

Harrison: There are tons of great scenes in LA, but honestly we’ve had some of our best experiences playing college house parties, particularly a couple we did at UCSB. We set up our own sound, just plugged in and played anything we wanted for hours and people were losing their minds. Jumping off roofs, breaking fences, a toppled stripper pole… Some great times at those shows.

Punk Globe: Any bands that you enjoy playing with?

Harrison: We’ve played with a lot of great bands. Bristol To Memory from OC, Raised on TV, Bah Ram You, Lost Puppy, Mechanical Roots. These are all bands we’re pretty close to and we book for each other on a regular basis. And obviously cause they’re killer.

Punk Globe: What is in store for Victory Kid for the rest of 2018?

Harrison: We’ve got so much in the works that we’re insanely stoked about, but for now our public focus are on these dates:

My World Release 2/21 on The Undiscovered Sound- Idobi Radio
