Excerpt from interview with two three members of Red Flare District, Inkopolis News Network; 6 September 122023:
------
Q: So, i take it the band's second single was composed and arranged primarily by... Haddock, was it?
Hiddock (he/him), guitarist: Hiddock.
Deryn (presumed she/her), bassist: [incoherent]
St. Tuna Piano (he/him), frontman & drummer: Yeah, no input from me at all, man. Real inspiring stuff. Shame Petr coul'n't sing vocals again.
Q: ... What was the reason this time?
St. Tuna Piano: Cuz 'e choked on a bell pepper, that's wot. Irrevokably out o' commission.
Deryn: [incoherent]
Hiddock: Truth be told, I was initially inspired after our day trip to Um'ami — er, before it flooded last week, that is — but it wasn't until Shipshape Cargo Co. broke into the whole Turf War shtick that this idea just... arose through spontaneous generation; Squid Athena being birthed, fully formed, from her own skull.
I mean, like, this new battleground floats through the remains of the polar ice caps — in essence, the impetus of both humanity's extinction and the Great Turf War, now used for a mundane cargo route and commercialized inkspewing. Don't you think that's oddly messed up?
Q: Couldn't say. Anyway: there seems to be some degree of curiousity regarding a sample used around the one-minute mark. Any remarks?
Hiddock: From a demo tape we found. Lost media; fit the theme. You wouldn't believe if we told you how we got it.
Deryn: [fervent babble; no less comprensible]
Q: I... don't believe she was even invited to this interview. How, uh... why is your bassist present?
Hiddock: Well, "present" isn't... the word I would use. She's here, certainly.
St. Tuna Piano: She comes n' goes as she pleases. Sorry if she touches anythin', 'er hands get all sticky.
Q: Yes, but where did she come from?
St. Tuna Piano: Same place anyone does, I 'xpect.
Hiddock: Under a bridge.
St. Tuna Piano (abruptly): Don't worry about it. We, eh, take care of her. Or somethin'.
Found this band on Bandcamp and bought their limited run two track demo, absolutely loved it and the cover art. I’m sad it’s so short of a discography but definitely worth checking out.

Just discovered this wonderful killer anime film I just checked out. If you’re into checking out local bands or small bands that you’ve found on the net. Or love checking out Demos/Demo Tapes from bands/locally/not well known. Then this is for you.
