Grupo Reforma’s El Norte newspaper scored an interview, from which this edited-down portion has emerged onto YouTube. (Sí, hay subtítulos en español.) He talks about trying to see the world while on tour, about the changes in the band, and the role of an artist in conveying messages. Here’s a notable quote:
Old SP was very much about challenging, and we used the violence in the music and the dark images in the songs to push people to feel things…but that was another time. Now I think the world really needs happier things, lighter things, but also truth.
