[Read] Interview with Greg Bennick from ‘Trial’ (in Dutch)

October 25, 2011

 

Greg Bennick gave an interview with DeWereldMorgen.be, giving his view on economical situations, his life as a musician and Haïti. The interview was taken before the Incubate Festival of this year, underneath the article you can see photos from the festival.

The interview gives a perfect view of what Greg Bennick is about. He tells about his bands ‘Trial’ and ‘Between Earth and Sky’. “Everybody in the band has an interest in politics, but the lyrics from the songs are more about philosophy, psychology and existential business. Facing you’re own problems is a first step to getting a positive image about yourself.” The interviewer asked him about how he felt about ‘Straight Edge’ and ‘Hardcore’ at the moment, which are both very (and even more) important to him than ever before. This is what he said, “Straight Edge keeps you dedicated to an idea, the idea that a clear head is important. [...] Hardcore means, for me nowadays, more than it used to do. I love it that people come together and be passionated and emotional about music and ideas.”

These are just snippets from the article, the rest of the interview will give you a good look at who Greg Bennick is, what his views are and how he interpretes the world. A man who is versatile, open and informative. His wise words: “Our goal is to let people go home with a positive feeling, power, engagement,  common sense, friendship, love.. Art lives in the next layer outside the experience.”
