INTERVIEW: Brandon Bodiford of Now in 3D!

After releasing their EP, “The Knife Is Law,” back in January, Now in 3D! now have physical copies available at local record shops such as Horizon Records, Earshot, and Cabin Floor Records. Bassist/vocalist Brandon Bodiford was kind enough to answer a few questions and bring us up to speed with what’s going on with the band this year.

Brandon Bodiford: We just started playing one day and haven’t stopped since and don’t plan on stopping any time soon. We definitely have a wide range of influences, from the Misfits, The Ramones, Screeching Weasel, to The Screamers, DEVO, Mean Jeans, and Nervous Patterns.

BB: Hang on, let me grab my thesaurus. It was for sure 100%  intentional. We just think it sounds cool, that’s pretty much it.

BB:  Creative process? We just start writing something and stop when our attention is grabbed by something else. The short songs are a result of our short attention spans and our addiction to cartoons and Nintendo.

BB:  It feels awesome! It something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and something I’ve been wanting to do ever since I started playing music.

BB: The main reason we do it is because it looks rad. They also sound super lofi, feedback a lot, and we can wire them up into a single ¼” input that plugs straight into the PA. Telephones+spraypaint+wire+soldering.

BB: Everyone there is super awesome and supportive! It’s super fun to play there, and it’s always a good time.

BB: It’s a bit of a relief to know that we have more places to play than say, a year ago. Some locals to definitely watch out for are The Soap, Rubrics, Count Us Out, and Tarred and Feathered. All of these guys are super nice and extremely talented. Catch them live!

BB:  We actually have another 7” coming out on a new label with some pretty well-known bands later this year, but we’ve been told not to say much about it yet. We’re planning to release another 7”after that one, and hopefully an LP following that. We are wanting to do a quick summer tour, hopefully it works out.

Sounds awesome! I’m looking forward to more new music from Now in 3D, as I simply just love their style. Thanks again to Brandon for talking to me and I wish them nothing but the best of luck with what seems like a busy but exciting year for the band. Hope to see them out soon! Until then, you can stream “The Knife is Law” EP below!
