How do you guys feel about the genre of folk and/or anarcho-punk?
Both important and relevant in their own way. I'm sure the politically focused folk of the early and mid-60's paved the way for anarcho-punk.

If (either of) you could pick a favorite word, what would it be?
Well I can tell you what it wouldn't be: MOIST.

I own a Boardgame shop on Long Island and was just wondering do you guys play any boardgames and if so which :p ?
I love boardgames but I haven't played one in many years, however, I saw Ouija and it was terrible!

Xtrmst was such a welcome surprise this year for music especially right after burials too. A great sound and perfectly striking vocals. - Does AFI / Blaqk Audio / Xtrmst have any plans to come to the UK/Europe soon? it's been over 5 years now!
It's heartbreaking not to have been able to come to Europe on Burials, it's the first time in the 16 years I've been in this band that we didn't go there on a touring cycle. Now I'm picturing us touring on one of those 4-seat tandem bicycles.

Hey! Long time fan. I was wondering if you two are going to make XTRMST a long term thing. Do you plan more works in the future?
We haven't discussed a second record but anything is possible.
-Jade
Is there hope for a new Blaqk Audio single by the end of this year, or early next?
A new Blaqk Audio album will be happening next year, hopefully earlier rather than later.
-Jade
Why don't the two of you use instagram? I wanna see more javey daily!!
I'm just the worst at social media.

How was your experience with Steve Aoki like a producer of this album? He challenged you? Thanks!
Steve and Dim Mak agreed to put the record out after it was already written and recorded, so he didn't have any input on the music, but his support and excitement for the album has been spectacular.

Is Xtrmst heavily based on FILTH? Are you guys touring in Az. And. Thank you for helping bring back the hardcore scene. We are backing you up %100 .. -Leigh Dekay (gilmore) "krovak" wlgilmore at gmail
Filth is fucking great. Our messages however are quite different. Thank you.
Jade, would you ever consider doing remixes for Caustic? Or, more specifically, the song Kill AFI? ...I love that song.... Thanks! -- Lena
I'm going to write a song called "Kill AFI" just so I can remix it.

So are ya'll planning to get all earth crisis and start screamin' 'bout the murder of innocent creatures for their flesh as well? Because I would really enjoy that, a lot.
I'd likely enjoy that as well however I've no plans to. ~ DXH
I've been battling depression and anxiety for most of my life. My doctor has prescribed me with meds to help me cope with it. I take them exactly as I'm instructed to, I'm obviously getting them legally, and I don't use them for any recreational purposes whatsoever. I definitely still consider myself sXe. What are your feelings on the subject?
If you stand against recreational drug use, I too consider you SXE ~ DXH
XTRMST's sound reminds me a little of the 1990's AFI sound, although obviously drastically different in its own ways. Looking at the directions your musics been exploring over the past few years (Crash Love, Burials and Bright Black Heaven) what got you guys to return to the Hardcore scene?
I don't think it's possible to return to the hardcore scene I was a part of. That time is past, so in making this record we weren't looking backward, just looking to create some songs that matched the emotion we were trying to convey.

Hello Davey and Jade! Thanks for taking the time to answer questions from fans. I have many questions but these are the shortest. Have you planned your attire for XTRMST performance(s)? How will your preshow prep for XTRMST differ from your other bands? p.s. I love Juliets. It is beyond amazing.
Haven't really thought that far ahead yet, thank you for the compliment though.
-Jade
Was there anything that made you decide to start XTRMST?
The desire to put to music something that has shaped our lives.
