Former HATESPHERE Frontman Discusses LAST MILE Project

September 10, 2008

Antenna magazine recently conducted an interview with former HATESPHERE frontman Jacob Bredahl about his new hardcore band LAST MILE. An excerpt from the chat follows below.

Antenna: For those who haven't heard LAST MILE, how would you say LAST MILE differs from the thing you're doing with BARCODE?

Jacob: BARCODE and LAST MILE are same family – no doubt about it. Also the fact that I make all the riffing in both bands, makes the two bands familiar. But LAST MILE has a different approach somehow. It's less bullshit and more to the point – at least in my opinion. LAST MILE is also more diverse than BARCODE. More stuff is going on, but in shorter time [laughs]. I love what I do in BARCODE, but BARCODE is more of a hobby and family band now. People have kids and full time jobs, and stuff that makes it impossible to tour a lot. LAST MILE is going to be a non-stop touring machine in the future…if it all works out the way we want.

Antenna: What was the most important thing you learned as a musician, when creating and recording your debut album with LAST MILE?

Jacob: That I should practise more guitar at home! [laughs]. Well, actually I should… Another thing which I realize, every time I am in the studio, is, that it's always hard to get it that exactly way you had in your head before entering the studio. We rehearsed a lot before entering the studio, but it's hard to get the special vibe you have in the practise room — or on stage. So you always have to get used to that it sounds different in a studio than out there.

Antenna: You've been engineering and producing as well as playing on your debut album. Hasn't this been a stressful combination for you?

Jacob: Yes, a bit sometimes. Especially because I have been my own judge. That can be hard sometimes. It's easier to tell Bazziman or Laur to do it again, because I think they can do better. But I don't know when my own skills are inadequate. When we recorded, we also had a show to play, so we had to finish the bass, and then pack the gear down, and then return to the studio after the show and continue with guitar and vocals. And there were some deadlines, and some cover artwork and so on and so on. So there was enough shit going on in my little head in that period.
