Not in the Face!

Your band's name is Not in the Face! What's that all about?

Jonathan Terrel: "It started just as a joke. Just a goofy band name that I had in my pocket for about a year and a half when I was in other bands. And then when Wes [Cargel] and I decided to start this band just to have some fun and play some music together. I figured this band isn't going to do s--- anyway, so let's call it a dumb name."

Was there some actual incident, someone got poked in the eye, or there was a slap-fight, or something that inspired this?

JT: "There's a million pornos. And there's 'Blazing Saddles,' but nothing really. I really have no idea. It came to me in a vision of porn."

What are some of the things you don't recommend hitting you in the face?

JT: "Let's see. Watermelons."

Wes Cargel: "Baseball bats. That's not good."

JT: "Your clothes as your being kicked out of her apartment. A tax audit."

WC: "An airbag from your car."

There some wonderful notions here. Not just the obvious.

JT: "I'm not going to say semen if that's what you're getting at."

So what does not getting hit in the face actually sound like?

JT: "It's just rock 'n' roll. It's just playing old rock 'n' roll."
