The Motherfuckers

Starting a band is probably one of the easiest things anyone can do. All you need is to rustle up some instruments, some common musical ground between friends and plenty of cases of cheep beer. Keeping that band going through the years, through all the miserable defeats that stand in your way, takes actual dedication and focus. Calgary’s the Motherfuckers have beaten the odds and are set to celebrate their 15-year anniversary this month. They’ve managed to strike a balance between absolute madness and punk ethics, drinking, drugging, scrapping and playing their way through ill-fated tours across Canada, countless lineup changes and more than one hiatus.

“The secret to our longevity is taking two to four years off at the time,” says frontman Dan Izzo.

“We also do member rotations constantly,” adds bassist Sean Hunter.

“Our newest member, Matt Pissoff, is on guitar. The only downside to him is that I’m no longer the young, good looking one in the band.”

The Motherfuckers’ history is long and mostly unglamorous. Indeed, as we get to talking about some of the band’s defining moments, it seems that many of these teeter along the edge between success and total train-wreck. Despite that, the hardcore quartet are back in the saddle, ready to hit the studio for a new full-length in 2014, a new cross-Canada tour in the summer and, of course, to celebrate 15 years of mayhem. True to their roots, they maintain that they’ve learned little in their time as one of Calgary’s most notorious punks, except for one key note:

“Never, ever, ever do a Sex Pistols cover set,” says Hunter, dead serious. “You will want to hang yourself by the end of it.”
