Isaac came in years later for another sonic layer. How/where did you get your band name from? At a time we were super into pedals and gear, we saw the that theres a killswitch/line selector pedal named Chill Switch that we liked which we were originally going to go with but it sounded too much like a knock off Killswitch Engaged so we just changed it to Chill Trigger.

 How did you get your name? A friend was talking about Cherry Tomatoes, and someone thought he said "Cherry Domingos" the rest is history. How did your band form? I (Anthony) was in a failed band called Eagles & Anchors with our guitar player Adam. After it didn't workout we stopped playing for a while, missed playing with each other, and thus we started Cheridomingo with my cousin Alex and another friend of ours Mango. What’s the best part of the local music scene where you’re based? My favorite part about our local scene is the variety. Kids from Simi are kinda isolated away from L.A. so there isn't a ton of influence. Allows for more unique sounds. Who would your dream collab be? Our dream collab would be doing something with the cast of Game of Thrones. What is it like working together? Working together is exciting, interesting, frustrating, and extremely productive. Lots of strong ideas all the time- makes for great music. What are some influences for your music? (i.e. books, art, politics, tv, etc.) Influences for our band consist of... well honestly most of the songs i write are about movies, so I'll throw on Scott Pilgrim or Spider-Man 2 for some inspiration. Bands that inspire us would be Circa Survive, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Foo Fighters, G.B.C., My Chemical Romance, Radiohead. When was your first show/gig? Our first show was at White Oak Music & Arts in June of 2016! If you were going on tour, which country would you choose to travel to? Easy, Japan.
 How did you meet each other? KD: Kalani's family owns a music store in the palisades where Sarah and I both teach and work. The first time i met Kalani I was in a bass lesson with her dad and Kalani was trying to act cool in-front of me and said, "Sup" with a head nod. She proceeded to fall on her ass right after that. Malcolm went to my school and was in my guitar class, so when we were looking for a lead guitar player in early October I knew just the guy. KF: We’ve all been pretty good friends since I was in 7th grade and I thank my family’s music store for that. When my dad introduced Katie to me it was apart of his plan to have us start a band. And yeah I always fall on my ass. MP: I first met Katie in middle school after I saw her playing a guitar on her instagram, at this time i didn’t really have any musical friends, so I hit her up to jam. It was really awkward cause I’ve never met her before so there was basically a stranger coming to my house. I met Kalani through Katie at her dad’s music store and we clicked instantly, and we became really close friends. The idea of a band was floating around but we didn’t have a drummer, and I wasn’t really into the idea of a band back then. Eight months of rehab later, when I came back home within a week im asked to play a gig with them. At this time sarah was the drummer and i met her, but we never really talked until maybe five rehearsals later. SK: I met Katie through a mutual friend at our high school when she was a Freshman and I was a Junior. We became really close but also had this love/hate relationship and would fight a lot. But now we love each other and are like the “moms” of the band. Then I met Kalani through the music store as well. I took lessons from her grandpa when I was 8 and then Katie reintroduced her to me in 2016. And, Malcolm, well I heard a lot about Malcolm but we never actually became friends until he joined the band. At first we barely ever talked but now i love him to death. I love all my band mates. They’re like family to me When did your band form? Our band formed on March 25th, 2017 but Malcolm was officially our guitar player and completed the band on October 13th 2017. Who are your favorite local bands? Our favorite local bands are Sunset Crater, Sick Transit, The Chonks, Mediocre, The Lady Fingers, Plumber, Sitting on Stacy, and The Blank Minds. When was your first show/gig? We already had already played a bunch of house shows and Sunnyside Club Fest, but our first show all together was October 13th, 2017. KF: We fucked up extremely hard but it was a blast. 3 hours of practice with a new guitarist on Friday the 13th was the most sus thing we’ve ever tried to accomplish. KD: Our old guitar player couldn't make the gig so we asked Malcolm if he could play. He only had 3 hours that day to learn 6 songs and i admire him so much for just saying fuck it and trying. What are some bands that you guys have on repeat at the moment? Or what are some bands that you would recommend to people? KD: We tend to listen to a wide variety of rock. Anything from Mac Demarco to Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, or Hole. Sounds pretty basic but they are huge inspirations to us. KF: I grew up listening to a lot of punk girl bands: L7, Bikini Kill, Dead Sara, Hole, Siouxsie and the Banshees... I’ve always been a huge feminist and wanted to start an all girl grunge/rock band since I was a kid. SK: Right now I'm obsessed with the Fleet Foxes and Real Estate and 60s Folk and Psychedlia. But i grew up listening to a lot of classic rock, 90s grunge, and hip hop. Who would your dream collab be? KF: Soundgarden or Sonic Youth. I get a lot of my inspiration from the both of them and it would be a dream (and just a dream rip Chris Cornell) to be able to play alongside them. Katie’s gonna say BTS. KD: (hell yeah) SK: I'm a wannabe hesh kid so I'll say Mac Demarco What’s the best part of the local music scene where you’re based? KD: We're technically apart of two "local" scenes, (as Kalani lives in Ojai) and the Ojai/Ventura locals are our current favorite. The people that come to our shows there come for the music, not just the social scene. They really know how to mosh too. KF: I love being apart of the local scene in LA because that’s my home, it's where I grew up. Although since I’ve moved up to Ojai/Ventura area I’ve fallen in love with the scene here. Everyone’s so excited when there's a show since nothing ever goes on here. The energy here is fantastic. I’m all about the crowd when i perform because I love being IN the crowd and dancing too. It’s such an amazing feeling when you have people that actually thrash and vibe to your music and i see a lot of that in both LA and Ventura. What is it like working together? Working together can sometimes be a challenge as we always share very strong opinions, but if anyone has any input that they want to share we openly listen and try to incorporate their ideas or at least take them into consideration. We work as a close knit team and show each other lots of support and love with lots of cuddle sessions. Writing music and band practices involve lots of screaming (in a good way) and having fun. Snapping in and out of the "zone" comes very easy to us so when we need to crack down and work we quickly chill out (but we still maintain that high energy). SK: They’re all fucking crazy..... But in the good way Band practice can be hectic sometimes cause they all have so much energy.
 How did your band form? We are all longtime friends from high school that always talked about starting a heavier band together. It wasn't until recently that Luis and Adrian committed to the idea after going to an Endzweck/Dangers show and brought the idea to Nick and Chris. When was your first show/gig? Our first show will be at Not So Bummer Summer! Who are your favorite local bands? No Age, Tera Melos, Warm Thoughts, Cold Front, Soaked in Disillusion, Girl Pusher, Chud, West America. and Bodysnatchers RIP To name a few, How/where did you get your band name from? It has the meaning of people getting together to convene on certain topics and that's what a band should be, it also has a simple ring to it like most hard bands that just stick in your head. What are some influences for your music? (i.e. books, art, politics, tv, etc.) Our influences are really stuff that interest us respectively. We all have varying perspectives on life and politics and society and we bring them all together and work from there. Examples, education reform, the new left movement, sadness, your best friend, anime. What is it like working together? Working together is no different from when we hang out regularly. A lot of weeb jokes, memes, philosophical conversations, only difference is that we're all playing instruments. Have you ever attended a NSBS event? How did you hear about it? Yes, Nick played NSBS 3 with Chill Trigger and Chris and Luis played the first NSBS with BODYSNATCHERS. What keeps you inspired? Just things we deal with in our own lives and wanting to keep playing with each other. As long as there's something to write about we'll keep pushing. And the lord and savior Guy Fieri. Never forgetti.
 When was your first show/gig? Technically, our first show was outside of Beatnik Bandito in Santa Ana on a Sunday at 1pm. No one was there and I (Koch) yelled at pedestrians walking by. How did you get your name? Joynoise was a name I thought of about a year ago, but we went with another name instead. We changed our name from Bloom recently due to there being waaaaay too many bands named Bloom out there. Since we decided to change the name, Jeff warmed up to Joynoise and Mason is usually too stoned to care so we just went with that. What’s the best part of the local music scene where you’re based? The music scene in Orange County kinda sucks because it's very fragmented, but the bands we play with frequently down here are great guys. Especially Kevin from 3LH. And his birds. Who would your dream collab be? Joynoise / Smash Mouth collab. Nothing more, nothing less. What is it like working together? Well, I'm extremely stubborn and easy irritated, and Mason likes to push me until I start getting irritated, and Jeff just sits there disappointed and needing more coffee. So I'd say working together is pretty easy for us. What are some influences for your music? (i.e. books, art, politics, tv, etc.) I'm influenced by whatever terrible emotion I'm feeling when I write, and a hatred for contemporary music. I would imagine Mason's influences are a mixture of cannabis and Primus. Jeff says The Bible. If you were going on tour, which country would you choose to travel to? Probably Madagascar. Those lemurs look chill.
