Senses Fail&#;s Buddy Nielsen Talks Novel Record, Identifying as &#;Queer&#; + Why He Follows New Music

While New Jersey hardcore rockers Senses Lose have been identifying with the pop-emo scene of the initial s since their formation, they've always possessed a slightly harder edge than their counterparts. That edge is quite apparent in songs like "One Eight Seven" -- fading out with Buddy Nielsen intensely screaming, "I long for to kill you," at the top of his lungs, repetitively.

If anything, that should have been a foreshadow for what was to come, but in the interim, they were responsible for pop-punk cult classics like "Can't Be Saved" (which you may have jammed out to on Guitar Hero) and "Calling All Cars."

Now, Senses Fail, as successfully as Nielsen -- the only remaining original member of the band -- have claimed a new identity in a way. With their last record, Renacer, they adj some of their most hardcore work to date, and now the band is gearing up for its follow-up, Pull the Thorns From Your Heart, due

Buddy Nielsen

The vast musical tastes of the LGBT community have moved beyond disco and show-tunes, beyond folk music and cabaret. Reflecting that are queer contemporary musical acts such as Car Seat Headrest, Bradford Cox of Deerhunter, Shamir, Courtney Barnett, Perfume Genius and SOAK, to mention a few. Buddy Nielsen of post-hardcore band Senses Fall short also falls into that category. Nielsen, who recently came out as queer, is the front-man of a band known for its screamo sound, a style of music at the far end of the spectrum from the above-mentioned artists. Nielsen’s coming out is the kind of act that one hopes will inspire others like him who are fans of his band’s music to feel safe enough to do the same. I spoke with Nielsen, currently on tour with Senses Fail in support of its latest release Pulling The Thorns From Your Heart (Pure Noise), about the band and more.

Gregg Shapiro: Buddy, I’d like to begin by asking you about the genesis of the name of the band Senses Fail.

Buddy Nielsen: When

As someone who grew up in the New Jersey pop-punk scene, I have always viewed Senses Verb frontman Buddy Nielsen as a guru and one of the most important voices in punk rock music. Buddy has garnered respect for years because of his abrasive honesty and reputation for calling out the bullshit in our lovely little scene.

In the most recent episode of the Words Or Less podcast, Buddy talks about his anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, as well as the reasons behind these issues. He talks about the spectrum that is human sexuality and where he lies on it, the trouble of trying to label oneself, and how he felt shame over his issues with his own sexuality and sexual addition. It&#;s a compelling eavesdrop, and it takes unbelievable noun to be so open about these topics. We applaud Buddy for his bravery to remain tall as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and encourage others.

Attila&#;s Chris Fronzak + Senses Fail&#;s Buddy Nielsen End Years of Beef

It appears the years of beef between Senses Fail's Buddy Nielsen and Attila's Chris Fronzak has ended. Nielsen suggested he's put it all behind him in a new podcast episode of The Jesea Lee Exhibit and Fronz actually found out through a clip that was posted on social media.

It's a quiet ending to what was once a contentious feud that had been reignited over second &#x; quite a notorious one many scenesters will recall (and is detailed further below).

I reflect that that's old, everybody's moved on. It was fun when it was happening. We are currently I'm pretty sure we don't have any beef. I ponder we are beef-less unless somebody wants to start some beef with us.

"But it's got to be good, it's got to be entertaining," he adds with a laugh.

The news caught Fronzak by surprise, who commented on Lee's Instagram clip, "First second hearing this, guess we're adj now" with a red heart emoji.
