ABOUT LOVERS ARE LUNATICS CLOTHING
What inspired the name Lovers Are Lunatics?
Lovers Are Lunatics is a very old Latin phrase and I’m very passionate and convicted when it comes to what I do with my band, my music and my art and so is Jeff, You know what I’m saying. People thought that early on in my career that I was crazy because I was passionate about something that didn't fit in the norm for everybody and they thought that was crazy. Like “you want to be in a rock band?” like yea I want to be in a fucking rock band and I was so passionate about it, that it eventually took shape and here I am today on tour in a rock band. It bleeds over to if you're passionate about something and you love something you're gonna succeed and chase that dream and people might think you're crazy but I'm okay with that. I believe that true love makes you do crazy things and that there is just beauty in that. I also like the name Lovers Are Lunatics cause it’s got kind of a feminine and a masculine element to it as well cause you know it’s not just a mens line, we want to do something that the girls like as well.
So I understand that Lovers Are Lunatics merch cannot be purchased on any of Papa Roach tours. Did you want to keep those two things separate from each other?
Most Definitely, I think that its very important that when we’re doing live shows that it’s about Papa Roach. You know my band is totally cool with me doing this and are very supportive of it. It’s kind of like my side project essentially but it’s with clothes and not another band. I get to express everything I want to do with Papa Roach, musically.
