THE DEVASTATED
Interview with Greg Pewthers (Bassist) 
By Noah “Shark” Robertson
So what’s your band and how would you describe your music? Weren’t some of you guys in other bands we may have heard of?
I’d say we are a heavy metal band and we play heavy metal (THE DEVASTATED). Yes, all the members were a part of other bands. I played in IMPENDING DOOM and OBLIGE. Manny played in IMPENDING DOOM and has filled in for numerous other bands, BLEEDING THROUGH, ABACABB, etc. The rest of the guys were all in OBLIGE.
How’s Century Media treating you?
It is amazing being labelmates with some of my favorite bands. It is definitely a family vibe over at CM.
What is your favorite aspect of touring?
Personally, my favorite part about the road is waking up in a different city every day, and hanging out with the other bands all day and night.
What are your plans for the near future?
Tour tour tour. We have a US tour with MOLOTOV SOLUTION and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY set for Sept-Oct. As well as a few Mexico dates with MOLOTOV SOLUTION again and NO BRAGGING RIGHTS. The album will be coming out in the first few months of 2012, and it is going to be titled Devil’s Messenger. Go pick that up!
Can you name a few of your influences for us?
Some big influences for myself would be bands WHITE ZOMBIE, PANTERA, Mostly 90′s stuff. As a band… well everyone listens to different stuff, so it’s kind of hard to say. We basically play what we wanna hear.
Any advice for the aspiring musicians out there?
Practice practice practice, and please, I can’t stress this enough….DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL! Don’t try to be the next so and so….try to be the first!
Let me just ask you one more question, what bands would be on your dream tour of choice?!
DEFTONES, WHITE ZOMBIE, ALICE IN CHAINS, THE DEVASTATED. Boom. Shooting for the sky on that one. Haha.
