18 Questions Interview MP3 premiere New Jersey bands No Medication Punk rock Washington Square Park-
New Jersey’s Washington Square Park are rocking us their premiere for their new single “No Medication” from their upcoming self-titled album, which drops June 22nd. We also asked the guys our 18 Questions interview, just scroll below.
Washington Square Park was started by Me (Max Rauch) as a side project while I was still playing drums in the band Tourmaline. I recorded everything by myself and played the songs for friends. They encouraged me to go full time with it so I finally did. I then rounded up some good friends from along the way and started playing tons of shows. Best decision i’ve ever made.

Truthfully I could never get fed up with playing music to the point of wanting to quit. I wouldn’t know what other career choice would make me happier, and in my mind doing what makes you happy always comes first. Are there things that haven’t gone my way? of course. Thats life.

3. What was your first concert experience? Do you remember how you felt once the concert was over?
Midtown, Taking Back Sunday, & Armor For Sleep at Birch Hill In Old Bridge New Jersey. I remember looking at the stage and saying to myself “I can do this someday”
4. Did you grow up wanting to play music, or when did the whole making albums thing come about and how?
I grew up obsessed with music. I’ve never wanted to do anything else. Making albums is what a musician does, so thats how it came about.
The love of music, and passion to put everything else aside.

My favorite song that I’ve written is called “Loan Slavery” When we play it live I am able to convey it’s “live free or don’t live at all” message very clearly.
-
Our lack of funds, & our tendency to break equipment.
-
A successful label or manager should care about the band and the actual music, not just the dollar signs & image.

When I was in my other band we played in Buffalo in the dead of winter. Our van and trailer got stuck in an icy ditch. Scarier things have happened to me but I’d rather not share.

10. What’s the first thing you do when the band arrives in a new town while on tour?
Light up a few smokes and check out the town. Then load our equipment in & check in with the big cheese.
11. Have you ever had an audience member give you the willies because they kept looking at you all weird?
haha it takes a lot to give me the willies!!!
I have totally cried to music before. The Promise Ring – Nothing Feels Good

I’d probably re-record our song “These Last Three Months” add some extra gang vocals.
-
Ground Zero in Suncook, New Hampshire. I never so more right wing pro life propaganda in my life. It’s totally cool to have believe in whatever you want but when you push those views on to kids as their “only salvation” I just see that as malicious brainwash. Plus we played for the sound guy.

People still buy albums? Number of albums sold doesn’t concern me. The number of true fans does.
-
Tour, Tour, Tour, Tour, Record, Tour & Tour some more!!!!

17. What music do you listen to when you are having a bad day?
Acoustic stuff.. Elliot Smith is a good example.
There’s not much I would change. Regrets are worthless.
