Jonny Santos (ex-Spineshank frontman, Silent Civilian) Interviewed

The Gauntlet recently interviewed Jonny Santos of Silent Civilian.

The Gauntlet: After you left Spineshank, did you have a sound in mind?

Jonny: There were a few factors. I had to do something different than Spineshank; to do that again would have killed me. As a kid, I was in thrash bands. By the time I was coming of age and able to be successful, thrash had died out. I basically started the band I always wanted to be in. A good handful of riffs on this record I wrote when I was 15 years old. They are just old, re-hashed version I wrote when I was a kid. They just work great now. It was definitely a conscious decision. I felt I had to reinvent myself as an artist in metal.
