Times New Viking – Australian Interview with Jared and Adam (2011)

By |August 31st, 2011|Categories: Interviews|Tags: , , , , |

On the eve of their first Australian tour Chris Berkley of Static spoke to Jared and Adam of Times New Viking, fresh off the plane to promote their most recent album, the discordant but progressively tuneful, Dancer Equired.
