Originally released on 05/08/01, Interviews With David Frost is the debut album from Washington, DC punk/hardcore band MAJORITY RULE. 2018 marks the album now being issued by Dark Operative, a new company from the creative team behind Magic Bullet Records (the original issuing label). The album is seven songs in length and encapsulates a truly unique blend of speed, heaviness, tone, and precision not often mastered by practitioners of the loose genres (screamo, punk, hardcore) that Majority Rule operated within during their run. Simply put, the band was light years ahead of its time and it would be at least another decade before bands like Deafheaven and Liturgy would figure it all out sonically, package and polish for modern times, and bring it to the masses for maximum consumption and marketability. In spite of the dramatic spike in interest for this sound in the years since, the band continually turned down reunions and large package music industry tours, insterad opting to return 100% on their terms, which ended up being with their friends' band Pageninetynine playing a series of benefit shows in DIY spaces where all proceeds went directly to local charities and causes.
