"MUSIQUE AVANT TOUTE CHOSE"
What is your main motivation to create and be creative? It's just a great way to express yourself, especially the things that you really can't express in words since it's hard to capture in existing categories of language. Except for a very talented few authors. But for us to express ourselves, we chose this medium. It's also a great way to hang out.
What is the perfect time of day and weather that makes you creative? Adrien : I love two opposites : 23am in winter with snow outside or 14 pm in june when the sun burns your skin! Nicolas: Probably not the morning! I play when I have the time to, so I don’t really take care about it. But I can say that I like to play when the sun is shining and I think I play more during the summer.
What is your favorite occupation? Adrien: Music but also movies, japanese animation and videogames. Nicolas: Playing music, work on sound and play videogames.
What are your future plans and what advice do you have for people that want to get into creating music? My future plans are to continue making music. I have some exciting things planned, along with a lot more music inside that needs to come out. My advice is to make music that is true to you. Theres only one you, so be true to your story. Don’t be tempted to tell anyone else’s story.
Except art are there any other external or internal factors that influence you when you create, if so what are they? I feel like the music I’ve making in Ziggurat has had a more darker, dramatic tone due to my increasingly negative view of society as of recent. Also, I’d say travelling affects the stuff I write for Zigg. For instance, the first track off our Preface ep was motivated by a trip to Germany/Austria back in February and in making the production for the song “Botheration” I was influenced by a past road trip through the Navajo reservations in New Mexico.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? What is your greatest fear? My greatest achievement- starting and developing this band into what it artistically is now. Greatest fear- being isolated

What is your main motivation to create and be creative? Jonathan: Enjoy myself. Nathan: Expressing my emotions.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Jonathan: Having been able to connect some on an emotion-level through my music. Nathan: My work as a sound engineer and musician.
Taking a victory lap around North America after several wildly successful 2018 tours, Culture Abuse have announced a month’s worth of dates alongside prolific punker Tony Molina. Adding to the already hefty bill are supporting slots from DARE, Young Guv (Ben Cook of Fucked Up & No Warning), Lil Ugly Mane, Poison Thorn (Shane Moran of Title Fight), and more. In celebration of this headlining tour, Culture Abuse have shared their first new track (and music video, directed by David Kelling and Barbara Georges) in nearly a year.
