we did an interview for a UK blog about Venus in Scars & to be honest, we were hesitant about a lot of the questions & ended up omitting a couple that were too prying &/or personal or just not relevant to us.
as it turns out, we were right to be a little guarded, as further digging on their site found some content that we’d rather not be associated with. to be clear, none of this material was illegal, racist/homophobic, or anything of that nature, just stuff that we’d prefer to distance ourselves from, like borderline glorifying self harm & things like that.
this project is an outlet for us & while we’ve both dealt with our fair share of issues, it’s not something we like to dwell on & if anything Venus In Scars is about escaping those things, not wallowing in them.
so with that said, I am self publishing the interview here for anyone who wants to read it, but i will not link to or promote for their site, so please don’t ask.
it’s not an issue worth having them shut down or dragging them online over, they have every right to post the content they do, but in turn we have the right to reclaim what’s ours without providing them a larger audience as a result.
(we are all for free speech & very much anti censorship, especially when it comes to art, so while we don’t agree with everything they post on their site, we would also defend their right to post whatever weird shit they want, albeit without attaching our name to it or appearing to condone the content)
new stuff coming soon, for now here’s the track that started the project & the one mentioned throughout this interview:
