SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — As part of the leadup to the release of their new album, “The Great Collapse,” members of the band Fit for an Autopsy stopped by WSOU on Monday, Feb. 13, for a conversation with Assistant Music Director Nick Durant.
The live on-air interview covered a variety of topics, starting off with a discussion about the themes of the new album, the band’s third. “The Great Collapse” explores climate change, the refugee crisis and other topics in the news.
“We aren’t a political band, we don’t stand on a soapbox,” said guitarist Patrick Sheridan, who added that the band’s songs are more about exploring the personal internalization of global conflict and social turmoil than staking out a particular political position.
“It was terrific to have Fit for an Autopsy drop by WSOU,” Durant said. “Not only is this Jersey City-based band a local favorite, they are a lot of fun to talk with. Their insights on the video for their new single, ‘Heads Will Hang,’ was particularly great to hear.”
