Interviews and Reviews!
Posted on December 15, 2009 at 3:19 PM
So we just had an interview with the German Magazine, "Outspoken". Some of the questions were hilarious, some had to do with how us "Afro-Americans" were treated in the states. If you want to get to know us and you want to get a good laugh here and there be sure to check it out HERE We also had a Demo review by them, I would provide you with a link but it's in German so I translated it for all of you using Googles AWESOME translator.
(Pardon the English, please keep in mind it's translated from German!)
Soul Train is a dewy pop band from Massachusetts.
As African-Americans, they are proud of their origins and reflect this in her music.
Recently they have released their first demo. This includes 4Tracks + Intro.
The songs are all fat and produces relatively fast. Nevertheless, Soul Train, not to fall into Gedresche uncoordinated, but rather groovy hardness (so if anything it is).
Let us hope that in future there will be even more of them and find them a suitable label.
The complete demo can be downloaded on the band blog.
All the lyrics can be found on the MySpace site.

old-school-hate.blogspot.com
Name: Soul Train
Location: Massachusetts
Active since: '09 Baby!
How do you define your overall style?
I would say it's straight forward hardcore, we don't have any bullshit "BR00TAL" breakdowns
and we are very DIY. We like to keep a good tempo and just stay on point.
What’s your goal with this band?
As far as goals go we just really want to get our music out there.
We already plan on a small week tour in Febuary and a full tour in the summer
with the release of our full length. We are slowly establishing connections
from state to state.
What do you have recorded so far?
We have our 5 song demo, that was recorded by our buddy Sean Wimer,
and we are currently in the process of a full length.
Could you please give us some basic info about the band – Who ? where ? when ? and why?
Soul Train is a four-piece as of right now. Trey on vocals Dremus on Guitar Keith on Bass
and me(Jon) on drums.
What do you feel was your biggest accomplishment so far was?
I would have to say our biggest accomplishment yet is the number of shows
we are getting booked. We really are tired of this area and have been
getting shows elsewhere which is awesome because we love to branch out to a new crowd.
You just dropped your demo so tell the readers what they should expect from it?
Expect a lot, I feel the demo is different from most bands from around the area.
It's free for download on our myspace page so be sure to grab it and check it out
for yourselves. 5 jams in less then 10 min is how I like to sum it all up.
Who are some of the bands you've been compared to or you feel have had been influenced by?
Some kid dropped a comment on the page saying we reminded him of Trash Talk which is cool.
I personally can't say we really have an influence, we are just trying something new
and so far we've had a lot of support in what we're doing.
Tell me something about the hardcore scene in Massachusetts? Any good bands over there to check out?
Massachusetts doesn't have that great of a scene, there are so many good bands and venues
that don't get half of the attention they deserve and go unnoticed every weekend.
As of right now we are branching out into new areas of MA and seeing what they have to offer.
Some good bands to check out are Maker(www.myspace.com/thisismaker) they are cool dudes.
Also be sure to check out Revenge(www.myspace.com/revengema) a bunch of heathens who
bring down the house every show.
How supportive are kids in your area to the bands like yours?
Support comes and it goes in an area like this, we have alot of support
from kids all over and we really love it. The more support we get the better
it's a good feeling to know others love what you love doing.
So what’s about the beef you’ve got with the Emmure?
There is no beef, what people don't understand about that song
is that it was freestyled, Sean pressed Record and me and Dremus jammed that out.
It just shows how easy it is to be in a "BROOTAL" band these days.
Most of it is Generic and outplayed yet kids eat it up, which is garbage.
It seems like hip hop music have a big effect on you. Who are some of the artists from this scene you’re into?
Myself personally my biggest influences are good drummers, one of the first drummers who ever
made me really want to drum fast and on point was Jeff from Bad Days. He's an awesome dude
who rules at drumming. As far as Hip-Hop goes I like a lot of old school shit like Raekwon, and Big Pun.
I'm also into a lot of horrorcore like Jedi Mind Tricks and Necro, I love rap where the artist has a solid flow.
I can't stand the shit that's on the radio where dudes are talking about taking girls to a
candy shop and shit. That's fucking whack.
Have you ever played a show with a straight up rap act? Do you think it’s possible in the future?
Never played a show with a straight up rap act, but for the full length I do plan on doing
2-3 whole rap songs that I wrote a while back, hopefully people will be into them if not 'fuck em
Is there anything you would do different if you could go back through your ‘career’ as a hardcore band.
I wouldn't do much differnt, I'm a real DIY type of guy, I've always just kept it real
doing as much as I could for every band I've been in. I've always supported my friends
and always backed those who have backed me and my bands and friends.
The year is coming to an end so how has 2009 been for you so far? And who are some of the bands, records, events in hardcore that we will remember this year by?
2009 has been an amazing year for us, we have some good shows coming up and some new places to travel to.
some bands that I know I'll remember this year by (despite their genre) are Lions Lions, they have real good music
and are all cool dudes. The Kidcrash Trey introduced me to them and I honestly love them.
Darasuum, I will always back Gabe in anything he does he's one of the coolest dudes
and if always keeping it real. We still have yet to kick it but he's always touring
so I'm just waiting for him to come around again so we can grab some sushi.
Revenge, love these dudes so much big shout out to them as well.
We just can't wait to see what the new year brings.
Anything else you would like to add?
Be on the lookout for our full length this spring or summer.
We are gonna put 2 tracks from it up on the page this winter.
Merch will be availble in the future we have the money we
just need to get it printed. Stay up to date and follow our blogger
and twitter all the accounts are on our page.
Keep up the support and keep it real!
FREE MUMIA!

New Tracks and 2010
Posted on November 18, 2009 at 8:01 PM
We plan on recording 2 new tracks for the winter then taking the rest of the time while it's snowy outside to write our full length. We will be releasing 10-12 tracks.
Also we plan on booking some shows during that period of time to kick off the new year right! After we release our full length we would like to tour, we've been steadily establishing connections in other states as time goes on. We have a van and a new member to the band as well. Jon Rossi aka Matching Mitch, he's the offical van driver ha and a good friend nonetheless. That's the plan as of right now, be sure to check back every now and then for updates on what's going on.

New Stuff on the Way!
Posted on November 9, 2009 at 5:47 AM
New jams are coming along good and we plan on recording again soon.
Secondly the merch designs are pretty solid, we are still deciding on weather or not to make the 3/4 sleeves long sleeves or just leave them as is.
We are also trying to figure out which shirts to print first.
There are two designs as of right now.
Struggle Tee
BSU 09
We are still deciding on weather or not we are going with the long sleeves or the 3/4 sleeves. We figure the long sleeves make the most sense for the winter, get at us with what you think!

I think it's funny how
Posted on at 4:56 PM
People bitch and moan about the scene and the shitty condition that it's in. Yet they do nothing to change it nor do they try to make it better. As of right now if you want a change and want to make a difference support what's happening every weekend. Support the local bands and stop overlooking them. Without them you have nothing, that's the bottom line. So when a band is stoked about a show and asks you to tell your friends, buy tickets and repost bulletins; do it because that's what brings in a crowd. Bringing in a crowd is what makes shows fun like they should be. Stop giving so much support to every single band who has blown up, they aren't at the Waterfront every sunday playing on that stage. They aren't doing anything for our scene. Start supporting what you need to and stop bitching, if you want a change make a difference by keeping local bands alive.

Lyrics for the '09 Demo
Posted on October 14, 2009 at 7:58 PM
INTRO:
Jon Wilson on the microphone in the place to be
with my nigga trey in the 413
got Dremus on guitar rocking the beat
only black authentics on my feet
stepping on heads snapping necks
straight jacking your cash I don't get a paycheck
Rosa Parks didn't call shotgun
she fought the whiteman but the whiteman won
_______________________________________________
DRAG:
Fuck what you've heard I'm never coming back
Fuck what you've heard I'm staying where I'm at
I'm never coming back I've lost my mind I've lost the race
You drag me down I'm so sick of this place
You drag me down so sick of this place
You drag me down I need a change of pace
I hate everything about this town
_________________________________________________
CONTEMPLATION:
I am lost and confused slowly not know what to do
I am lost and confused but what am I to do
Time and tide will heal all thats left to lose
so Im thinking whats the use
sick of thinking and whats on my mind
Sick of thinking and whats on my mind
Im going crazy with time
_________________________________________________
RAGE:
You think you know my situation
rage made from years of frustration
and the knives in my back,
and the knives in my back wont come out.
Everyday stressin just to do my best.
Everyday another struggle another fucking fight,
I wont go down like this no not tonight not tonight
_________________________________________________
FUCK EMMURE:
BREEEE BREEEEEEE BREEEEE
BREEEEEE BREEEEEE BREEEE!

Posted on October 9, 2009 at 7:24 PM
As of right now, practice didn't happen today as scheduled due to transportation issue's. Also vocalist Trey might be moving away out of state, so we aren't sure what the future holds for Soul Train. We can only hope for the best and ask for as much support as possible, it really helps in times like these.
So Far So Good
Posted on October 7, 2009 at 7:03 PM
With the way things are shaping up(the support we have received so far, the statistics on our music player, the growing fan base, and the friends who are helping us out)we can only continue to progress. We are working on lyrics right now for some new tracks and I am gonna start working on designing a logo for a first screen print. Shirts won't be coming anytime soon but when they do come they are coming in bulk. Make sure to check back for more updates, tell your friends about the blog!
