The Sound of Persistence: A WILHELM SCREAM Down Under

Interview by Angela Croudace
A Wilhelm Scream are heading back to Australia this March and if you know AWS you know that these guys, much like myself, love a chat! So much in fact, that we had to schedule two interviews just to get through all my questions. Thank you for the laughs guys, I sincerely needed that after the week I was having, anyway, let’s get into what we discussed.
Our interview with Trev and Ben started off strong talking of coffee rituals, the band’s unfiltered group chat, and the ever-expanding “Wilhelm Scream” lore that continually grows more nuanced.
Beneath the laughs, though, was something more telling. Trev spoke about constantly chasing the next goal, never settling, never coasting. It’s that mindset that’s fuelled a career built on integrity rather than trends. Far from a cliché quintet, A Wilhelm Scream have carved out their lane with staggeringly rich albums of ultra-technical, melodic punk firestorms, drawing from their deep catalogue when shaping new material instead of reinventing themselves for relevance.
Joining them in Melbourne on March 8 are Authority Zero and Aussie punks The Decline. Expect riffs, sweat and zero complacency, oh yeah and maybe a dash of yapping.
