CALEB SCOFIELD TALKS SHIT ABOUT HIS EX-CAVE IN BANDMATES

In the “everyone’s doing it, so why won’t they?” department, Cave In bassist Caleb Scofield took a shot at his ex (or “on hiatus,” as it were) bandmates and ever-so-subtlely revealed his desire to reform the band. The interview, published on Exclaim.ca was actually about his current project Zozobra — whose thundering low-end stoner metal album Bird of Prey dropped a couple of months back (listen to “In Jetstreams” and The Blessing” from their prior album Harmonic Tremors). But the subject matter quickly turned to Cave In:
Where do you stand with Cave In? Any chance of a reunion, since everyone is doing it?
If Cave In were to play live again I’m not sure it would be a reunion. I think it would be more of a return from an extended hiatus. If it did happen I know for a fact we would have at least three new songs to play.Obviously Zozobra is the heaviest of the post-Cave In bands. What do you think of the quality of their output, especially the new stuff?
I would normally take this opportunity to make a sarcastic joke about those guys but I won’t. I have to be honest and say that both Clouds and Steve [Brodsky] have just put out some of the worst shit I think I’ve heard in a long time. I wish those guys would stop fucking around with that nerdy fucking stoner party rock, 16-bit-sounding bullshit and just get Cave In back together.
Thank you, Caleb Scofield, for summing up how we all feel! Scofield isn’t hiding his desire to get the band back together; do Brodsky and Adam McGrath feel the same way, worn down by less-than-stellar receptions to their various new projects (Zozobra aside)? Are the “three new songs” Scofield references tunes that he’s penned alone as potential Cave In songs or has the band actually been jamming together? Questions, questions.
If anyone’s jonesin’ for some Cave In music today, check out the full career retrospective and homage I wrote a few months back, complete with mp3s spanning all eras of this incredible, amazing band.
So yeah, needless to say, we’re majorly hoping that those guys “stop fucking around with that nerdy fucking stoner party rock” and get “just get Cave In back together!”

Why do people say “needless to say” and then say what they just said was needless?
I’d die to see another set of shows and an album from Cave In, but I don’t think dissing your old bandmate’s projects would help much. Clouds is pretty much bad but there’s some fun times on the psychedlic Brodsky record. Suppose it’s just not metal enough to be noteworthy
Amen Caleb, get the finger out lads!
I respectfully disagree due to the fact that no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get into Zozobra, meanwhile I liked the uh.. “nerdy fucking stoner party rock”. Of course, Cave In is better than all of them, but he’s also just the bassist – pretty fucking expendable in my book. What he said isn’t cool, but would be acceptable if the band was split up for good. And since he’s hoping to play with those same people again, it was really not the smartest thing to say.
it’s called sarcasm you fucking retards….
Yeah, Zozobra is ok, but Cave-In Really needs to get back together. Either that or Old Man Gloom needs to put out a new record!!!
you know, its great that you guys support the cave in family so much here, but every fucking time you post, you either royally fuck up facts, read between the lines far too much, or completely miss out on something, this time being the latter. caleb is clearly joking. fix this shit.
Sarcasm just don’t work on teh internets.
A – Fucking – Men..
Please get Cave In back together..
Caleb was great to see live as a member of Cave In and seems to be a down to earth cat. Keep buggin those fools..
Listen to antenna again and tell me Caleb Scofield is expendable.
exactly Caleb is one of the lest expendable bass players i’ve heard in a long ass time.
I truly believe that Caleb is the only hope we have of “Cave In” getting back together. Not just getting back together but bringing back the metal.

At least someone around here is a total dipshit. Zozobra slays, and fuck Cave-In! What he should really be talking about is the OMG reunion. Simian Alien Technology bitches.
