Imagine telling your friends you started a punk band based on a five-minute comedy sketch from 30 years ago. They might say to not quit your day job.<\/p>\n
But when I called The Eradicator<\/a>\u2019s Andy Slania, who plays The Wisco on Oct. 4<\/a>, he told me he\u2019s done just that. Gone are the days of punching a clock. Slania recently took remote work so he can spend more time inhabiting the persona of a masked, squash-playing lunatic who happens to front one of the most joyously aggressive bands in hardcore punk.<\/p>\n \u201cThe character is abrasive,\u201d says Slania. \u201cIt lends itself to being good subject matter for a band like this.\u201d<\/span>\n
