Interview: The Black Pacific

There was one thing that become immediately evident as I was sitting backstage at Rexall place in in Edmonton, Alberta with the guys from The Black Pacific on their recent tour opening for Rise Against. That was the fact that they were extremely welcome guys. Offering me a sandwich and something to drink no less than 5 times, our time together felt more like a casual conversation than a formal interview; which says a lot about the guys’ wonderful personalities. We discussed a variety of things over the course of our time together, from stealing hockey sticks to overcoming the shadow of former bands. Their casual demeanor was in direct contrast to the serious punk rock that they play live; with dedication and skill that betrays the various members’ pedigrees in the music business. While the band may be a relatively new name on the scene, The Black Pacific are setting their sights on playing together for the long run.
