AUTHOR & PUNISHER - The Speaker Is Systematically Blown (Live at Cold Waves Festival 2018)

“The Speaker is Systematically Blown” Video by Augie Arredondo from 2018 at Cold Waves Festival Los Angeles at 1720. Additional editing by Frank Huang at Relapse Records. This one was an interesting show because the songs were brand new and it was a festival. Phil Sgrosso, Otto Valentine (rip❤️) and I drove up together and Augie met us there to shoot the performance for a music video but I think the audio from the board was poor quality so we used the album version. Somehow this video got lost in the shuffle and we never used it but I always thought the energy and shots were rad. I don’t play this song that much because it’s non stop vocals for 4 minutes in a range that is very strenuous on my voice. I love the track and it still gives me goose bumps when the toms come in midway through. Maybe we’ll try to add it as a regular for touring. Coincidentally the most listens on Spotify over any other track ever. I think I wrote this song in an hour.
