Do you know LCTR? Get to know more about them in this adorable interview.

 



1. How did LCTR come together as a band, and what inspired the members to focus on delivering a purist, heavy hardcore sound?
Tim (Guitars ): No one wanted to see our weird melodic metal band so back to basics we went. Travis is also in need of a drummer for his band that is better than us.
Travis (Vocals): To quote the band God’s Hate “Life is hard, Be Harder”. As Tim stated, my previous band went on hiatus, so they approached me about doing something on the side.

2. Can you tell us more about the origin of the band's name "LCTR" and its significance or meaning?
Tim:LCTR or lactator or locationer is a term derived in the northern dialect of Antarctica and the chosen language of the original habitants.
Travis: a lot of the history of Antarctica has been hidden, they dont want you to know about the original habitants. They even left pyramids behind.

3. Given the experienced backgrounds of the band members from various local bands, how has this collective experience influenced LCTR's musical approach and style?
Tim: I played my first show last month.
Travis: we just play what we think will make someone grab a chair and smash their friend over the head with it.

4. The debut EP, "Goodness Won't Save You From The Fire," has received positive reviews with an overall rating of 8 out of 10. How does the band feel about this response, and what are their thoughts on the EP's impact in the hardcore scene?

Tim: 6 points higher than anything else we've ever done. It is very much appreciated but doesn't help keep me in the dark place.
Travis: its awesome that people like it, but at the end of the day, music is what keeps me from killing myself, so ill keep playing whether people dig it or not.

5. What were the main influences behind the three original tracks on the debut EP? Are there any particular themes or messages the band wanted to convey through their music and lyrics?

Tim: The year 2009, and just trying to be as heavy as collective soul. Maybe one day.
Travis: i really thought we were trying to be as heavy as smash mouth at first. The only message is that life sucks and then you die.

6. Richmond, Virginia, has a notable hardcore scene. How has the local scene influenced LCTR's music and their journey as a band?
Tim: Everyone in Richmond would rather I just give up and sell insurance or something.
Travis: im pretty sure Tim would make a great State Farm agent. We’ve been received rather well with the two shows we’ve played.

7. With members coming from different local bands, how did LCTR manage to find a cohesive musical direction while maintaining their distinctive sound?
Tim: Got the idea to jam some older simpler tunes with our buddy who was having band difficulties. Fun ensued.
Travis: we prayed to the dark lord Cthulhu for guidance and under his blessed gaze, we found our inspiration.

8. "Goodness Won't Save You From The Fire" is described as having a raw character. Can the band elaborate on the creative process behind the EP and how they captured this raw essence in their music?
Tim: We pretty much just one take'd everything and was like yea good enough.
Travis: as Tim said, everyone was a fairly easy process. Too many bands now a days want to sound like robots. We are human beings playing these songs so sometimes those slight imperfections make something magical.

9. LCTR has already left a strong impression with their debut EP. What can fans expect from the band in the future, and are there any upcoming projects or releases in the works?
Travis: rest assured, we have more songs in the works. We will record a follow up EP in the near future and we can ensure you expect more of the same

Tim: Someone said something about selling insurance?

10. In the hardcore genre, connecting with fans and delivering powerful live performances is essential. How does LCTR approach their live shows, and what do they hope audiences take away from their performances?
Tim: I just close my eyes and go spin mode. Sometimes I try not to fall down.
Travis: we crave blood and violence and the flesh of the living.
