Hi-Speed Dubbing is a "then-it-happened" kinda band. Drummer Zenas Jackson and guitarist/drummer/and-now-singer, Justin Walker, sum up the project. “A lot of it just happened as it was going on tape,” said Walker, speaking of his band's debut full-length cassette, Way of the World, a batch of 17 fuzzy pop ballads scratched together with the cheapest four-track and vocals refracted through a guitar-pedal. “I think Justin never got a chance to play anything weird,” surmised Jackson. “He plays with all these different people; I can take it back to Siddhartha, where, it’s not like we didn’t play how we wanted to play, but we were expected to play a certain way.” “I always felt,” said Walker, “whatever project I’m involved with is like, it’s only a matter of time before it progresses and grows to a different sound.” Hi-Speed Dubbing started as an idea in '06, and is now experiencing its most formative period to date, with bassist Jamie Burnstein and latest-joiner, guitarist Derek Szubeczak. Initially, it’ll be a band that sounds nothing like the (first) record — for the simple fact that “all these sounds in my head” (as Walker puts it) are now given legs to stand on and more coordination with a full (human) rhythm section and guitars. Said Burnstein, “Justin can’t be up there playing six instruments." | Real Detroit Weekly |
