In the interview for the article John Fryer: Punk kicked the doors of the industry open, Fryer discussed punk rock:Musicians realized they could do whatever they wanted without conforming to the major labels’ mould. A slew of indie labels emerged, giving artists opportunities to express themselves in new ways, sparking tremendous creativity.With the various bands he had worked with, Fryer explained:Black Needle Noise is my favorite to work with because it’s my own music and it’s more personal. I’m very proud of all the records that I’ve made, but that’s working on other people’s music. Actually, all the projects I’ve done myself Dark Drive Clinic, Muricidae, Silver Ghost Shimmer, and Black Needle Noise are more personal because I’m writing the music. ==Bands==
