We Talk Music is going old school! This time Brett welcomes singer and guitarist Tommy Victor of the band Prong. Tommy stays very busy and felt it was time to release an EP that is like an old school single so Prong is back with Age of Defiance out now from SPV/Steamhammer.
Prong has been around since the early 80s, dishing out crushing riffs and killer songs. After taking some time away from the band, Tommy Victor brought them back with a vengeance. Not wanting to have too long between albums, the decision was made to release the EP, Age of Defiance. We talk that as well as a bunch of other topics including:
- The EP being focused on a couple of songs rather than a full length album
- How the business of music has changed since the band started
- Things that were better in the industry during the early days of the band
- Selling his paintings and how he got into painting
- Transcendental Meditation and its impact on his songs
- What he learned from working with Ministry and Danzig
- The guys in the band, and trying to keep the band together
- Touring plans for Prong in 2020
