Chastity is the brain-child of Brandon Williams, the band’s frontman and lyricist. Over the last six years, Williams has put out an EP and two full-length albums.
So far in 2021, Chastity has released one single, a cover of Third Eye Blinds “Losing a Whole Year” – which is very fitting with COVID 19 essentially cancelling the 2020. I caught up with Brandon over the phone, which is why the audio on this one isn’t the best. We talk about all sorts of things, including the making of “Drain The Bloodbath”, and what made him decide to get veteran studio vocalist Makeda Francisco involved.
We also talk about when his love affair with music started, and how would eventually fall in love with punk rock when he got into skating culture. I’ve been a fan of Chastity since their first album Death Lust dropped back in 2018, so this interview really meant a lot and I got to ask a lot of questions as a fan – because really there isn’t all too much information on Brandon online – he’s a very private person it seems.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
