As we continue our highlighting of different artists playing Columbus’ Worst Kept Secret Fest 3, we land on the self-proclaimed lo-fi surf rock band Comrade Question. The foursome is a laid back, harmony driven band that will give, at least briefly, the sonic illusion of being near a large body of water (metaphorically speaking) inside the warehouse that is the Dude Locker. To further enlighten us, one of the band’s three members sharing guitar and vocal duties, Lee Mason, filled out this ridiculous questionnaire/interview thingy. Yep, we decided to ask the same questions we asked Hundos – but as the answers will tell you, this band embodies the philosophy that musical entities at WKSF 3 will be all over the map. Listen while you read:
