Meet PC Worship

Who remembers those MAC vs. PC Commercials? You know, the ones with Justin Long? What a spectacular moment. And does anyone know where Mr. Long is today? I’d like to know. He seems nice.

Anyway, meet PC Worship. Led by Justin Frye, PC Worship is a solo project, a band, and a collective. BUT HOW, you ask? Who knows, but they’re doing it, and we’re here for it, as the kids say these days.

This crew is explorative and improvisational. They’re a bit scum, a bit psych, and make excellent use of drones. If you like downer punk riffs and long form improvised instrumentals, I highly recommend. Read on to see what these fellas had to say.

Abortion for all, fuck the NRA, never play music with all men, delete Facebook, don’t subscribe to social media for your art projects, be supportive of your friends and family no matter what, buy bigger cartons of goldfish, drink seltzer, have fun with drugs, but avoid opiates and be open to everything and include as many different perspectives as you can in every facet of your life.
