<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nEXPLOSIVE FECAL ASSAULT<\/strong> A damnedcomic Interview<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lead vocals, primary songwriter, 22 The charismatic smartass who started the whole thing because he thought singing about shit would get him laid. Turns out he was right, just not in the way he expected. Writes almost every lyric in the band. Still can\u2019t believe any of this is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lead guitar, 21 The quiet assassin. Speaks in short, devastating one-liners and then goes back to tuning. Technical player who can make a three-chord song sound expensive. The only member who practices more than he parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bass, 20 The baby. Chaotic, soft-spoken until he isn\u2019t, and somehow always the one who ends up naked in a hotel hallway. Plays with professional ease while looking like he just woke up from a nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drums, 23 Oldest by a year and self-appointed \u201cdad\u201d of the group. The one who tries to keep them from getting deported or arrested. Usually fails. Hits the drums like they owe him money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All four are from Homerville, Georgia (population: not many). They formed the band to meet girls. Eighteen months later they finished their first world tour and still can\u2019t quite explain how any of it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> Let\u2019s start at the beginning. Four guys from a small town in Georgia start a band called Explosive Fecal Assault. How does that conversation even happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> We were drunk in Boone\u2019s garage. I said, \u201cWhat if we made a band so stupid that girls would have to talk to us just to figure out if we were serious?\u201d Tanner said, \u201cWhat if the name was something with shit in it?\u201d And that was pretty much the business plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> I was just happy we finally had a name that wasn\u2019t \u201cSouthern Discomfort\u201d or \u201cThe Homerville Handjobs.\u201d Those were real options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> I still like Southern Discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> You would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> So the original goal was purely to pick up women?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> One hundred percent. We weren\u2019t trying to change music. We were trying to get our dicks wet. The fact that people started showing up and singing along was a complete accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> Best accident of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> When did you realize it was becoming something bigger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> When a video of us playing \u201cMy Baby Thinks Her Shit Don\u2019t Stink\u201d in a dive bar in Jacksonville hit like three million views in a week. Suddenly every shitty club in the Southeast wanted us. Then some blog in England wrote about us like we were an art project. That was the moment I went, \u201cOh no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> I went, \u201cOh yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> I went and bought bigger condoms. Practical thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> You just finished your first world tour. How does a band that sings about toilets handle Europe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Europe loved us in a way that felt slightly concerning. Like they thought we were being ironic and profound at the same time. We were just being gross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> In Berlin some girl told me our music was \u201ca commentary on late-stage capitalism and the body.\u201d I told her it was mostly about diarrhea and getting my dick sucked. She still slept with me. Europeans are resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> Amsterdam was dangerous. Too many bikes and too many open-minded people. I lost a shoe in a canal and gained a story I can\u2019t tell my mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> Paris was elegant until it wasn\u2019t. We played a tiny venue and the crowd started a chant of \u201cYour band sounds like shit!\u201d right on cue. Ricky stepped up and yelled \u201cThank you, we take that as a compliment!\u201d and the place lost its mind. That became the nightly ritual after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> Speaking of that line\u2014where did it come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Some drunk guy in Athens, Georgia yelled it at us during our fifth show ever. I didn\u2019t have a comeback ready so I just said the first thing that popped into my head. It stuck. Now if the crowd doesn\u2019t yell it by the third song, Tanner plants someone to do it. We\u2019re not above cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> Art requires sacrifice. Sometimes that sacrifice is paying a guy twenty euros to scream \u201cshit\u201d at us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> Let\u2019s talk about the songs. Ricky, you write most of them. How does a twenty-two-year-old from Homerville end up writing \u201cShe Likes It in the Fecal Position\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Honestly? I was trying to make Boone laugh in the van. I said the title out loud and he almost wrecked. Once something makes Boone laugh that hard, you have to finish it. The rest of the lyrics just fell out. Same with most of them. If it makes the other three assholes crack up, it goes on the setlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> \u201cRectum Damn Near Killed Him\u201d was based on a real story about a guy we knew back home. We changed the name to protect the guilty. And because the real name was even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> That song gets the biggest cheer in every country. Something about near-death rectal trauma really unites people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> The new album has a song called \u201cOut of the Pink and into the Stink.\u201d Care to explain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> It\u2019s about the moment you realize the nice girl from the bar is actually a lot more interesting once the lights are off. We\u2019ve all been there. One minute you\u2019re in the pink, next minute you\u2019re somewhere else entirely and you\u2019re not mad about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> It\u2019s a love song. A filthy, sticky love song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> All our songs are love songs if you squint hard enough and ignore the fecal matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> You guys are surprisingly tight as players for a band that started as a joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> That\u2019s Boone\u2019s fault. He wouldn\u2019t let us be bad. Even when we were just trying to get laid, he\u2019d make us rehearse like we had something to prove. Now we can play these stupid songs like they\u2019re sacred texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> If you\u2019re gonna sing about shit, you should at least play it well. Otherwise you\u2019re just four idiots with microphones. This way we\u2019re four idiots with microphones who can actually lock in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> He\u2019s the reason we don\u2019t sound like a complete train wreck. The rest of us are just riding his talent and hoping the jokes land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> Tour life. Sex, drugs, rock and roll. How much of the clich\u00e9 is real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Enough to make our mamas cry if they ever read this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> Europe is different. The women over there don\u2019t play the same games. They\u2019re direct. You play a song about ass-to-mouth and instead of being offended they ask if you want to go back to their place and fact-check the lyrics. It\u2019s refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> I had a girl in Prague translate one of our songs into Czech while she was sitting on my face. I don\u2019t know what she was saying but it sounded committed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> Drugs are around but we\u2019re surprisingly boring about them. We learned early that if you do too much you forget the words to songs that already have the word \u201cshit\u201d in them twelve times. That\u2019s a special kind of professional failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Mostly it\u2019s sex and bad decisions and trying not to miss flights. The rock and roll part is just the soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> Any particularly unforgettable nights?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> Rome. After-show party in some apartment that overlooked a fountain. There were six of us and three Italian girls who thought our band name was the funniest thing they\u2019d ever heard. One of them kept yelling \u201cFecal Position!\u201d every time someone changed positions. It was like having a very enthusiastic sports commentator in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> Barcelona. I ended up on a rooftop with a girl who collected vinyl and had a tattoo of a toilet on her ribs. She said it was for us. I still don\u2019t know if that was sweet or a warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> London. We got kicked out of two pubs in one night for reasons that were entirely our fault. Then we found a third pub that let us stay because the bartender\u2019s girlfriend loved \u201cI Got the Runs for You.\u201d She made us play it on a broken acoustic while people threw fries at us. Peak career moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> The night in Berlin when a girl asked me to sign her ass and then immediately sat on the signature so it would smudge. She said she wanted it \u201cauthentic.\u201d I respected the commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> Do you ever worry the joke will get old?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Every single day. Then we play a show and three hundred people scream \u201cYour band sounds like shit!\u201d in unison and I remember that the joke is the whole point. We\u2019re not trying to be the next big serious thing. We\u2019re trying to be the band people remember when they\u2019re drunk and happy and a little ashamed of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> If the joke dies, we\u2019ll just write worse songs. We\u2019re not proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> Speak for yourself. I\u2019m very proud of \u201cToilet Bowl Serenade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> That one\u2019s actually kind of pretty if you ignore the subject matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> That\u2019s the secret. Make the music good enough that people forgive the words. Or at least dance to them while pretending they don\u2019t know what they\u2019re singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> More songs. More shows. Probably more bad decisions in countries that speak better English than we do. We\u2019re writing the next record already. Working title is This One Also Sounds Like Shit<\/em>. We\u2019re nothing if not consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> I\u2019m trying to get a song called \u201cI Fingered the Ring and Lost the Jewel\u201d past Ricky. He\u2019s resisting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> I\u2019m not resisting. I\u2019m pacing ourselves. There\u2019s only so much dignity we can set on fire in one calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> Dignity left the chat a long time ago, brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> True. But we\u2019re still standing. Somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n damnedcomic:<\/strong> Final question. If you could go back and tell those four idiots in the garage what was coming, would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Hell no. They\u2019d get nervous and try to make the songs better. And better would\u2019ve ruined everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boone:<\/strong> Agreed. The stupidity is load-bearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanner:<\/strong> I\u2019d tell myself to pack more underwear. Tour is hard on the laundry situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeeter:<\/strong> I\u2019d tell myself to enjoy it. Because this is the dumbest miracle any of us are ever going to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ricky:<\/strong> Amen. Now if you\u2019ll excuse us, we have a very important appointment with a bottle of whiskey and the continued destruction of our reputations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The interview ends the way most Explosive Fecal Assault conversations end: with laughter, overlapping insults, and the faint sense that none of them can quite believe they\u2019re allowed to do this for a living. Make sure to check out the live cut of their hit single on our latest audio page.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n She Likes It In the Fecal Position<\/p>\n\n\n\n
