Few artists are as polarizing in modern punk rock as Scott Sturgeon… aka STZA Crack… aka Sturg Fuckin' Hipster…. aka… well, the man needs aliases. Singlehandedly creating the Crack Rock Steady genre, Sturgeon forged a fascinating combination of punk, ska, metal, and classical music which often referenced drug use, battling the police, and the southern lord. This combination of music and extreme politics led many in the punk scene to view Sturgeon as a true visionary, able to mend the audio, visual, cerebral into a singular expression, while others saw him as blindly spouting rhetoric for the effect and not the message.





While his earlier bands Choking Victim and Leftover Crack were the bands that really brought Sturgeon into the public punk conscious, his latest band, Star Fucking Hipsters seems to be the focus of his energy. After releasing an album on Fat Wreck Chords and a follow up on Alternative Tentacles, Sturgeon is planning to release his third album in four years. This bears a stark contrast to the release rate of Leftover Crack, a band that was often put on hiatus by band member tension, sojourns to South America, and battles with customs. But now that Sturgeon seems to be refreshed and is kicking out the jams at an almost frantic pace, Punknews interviewer John Gentile lit up a pipe with the modern punk icon to get the low down on his renewed energy, the meaning behind some of his more obscure lyrics, and whether or not he's serious when he says he wants to kill cops…
