our crowd by old school methods,
like seeing us live.
Speaking of online, where can

any free downloads?

Most bands dream of making
it big or reaching the top. Do you
guys have that dream or do you
care if you get a recording contract?
Jesse: We would prefer to do
it on our own, but we realize how
difficult that can be. The music industry is a monster, and we’re seeing tons of bands getting ripped off
by labels, basically starving on the
road.
Anthony: I don’t give a shit.
I just want a sweet rig. It’s not as
much about making it big as it is
is unified by brotherhood
Do you think that online presence like Facebook or
Twitter is important for fans to find you? Do you have
either or both?
Travis: We have a facebook but not a twitter. I think
its important but it shouldn’t ever define you. Plenty
of bands back in the day didn’t have or currently don’t
have a facebook and they are doing fine. We like to gain
about having fun.
If you were trying to convince someone to come see
your band what would you tell them? What do you feel
makes you different from any other band?
Anthony: We sound like Brad Paisley
Jesse: Have you ever been punched in the face? That
is what I would sell them with.
Travis: Do you like Gumby? Imagine getting your
ass kicked for an hour
straight by cartoon characters. That is what our
show like.
Do you guys only play
local or do you get to tour
much?
Matt: We’re local but
we’re hoping to get on the
road next year
Do you guys have a
favorite place that you
like to play? What is it
that makes that place
your favorite?
Travis: Yes, definitely.
The Warehouse in Clarksville,TN. It’s like our
home base. The crowd
always goes nuts when
we play there. People get
hammered and stage dive
onto their faces
Jesse: The Warehouse
has great sound overall.
Doug Weedon, the sound
guy, is a wizard behind
the sound booth. It’s the
one place where we have
literally never had an issue with the sound on
stage.
Who would you guys say was the biggest musical or
non-musical influence on each of you?
Matt: my uncles played in bands. That had a major
impact on me
Travis: My parents, my wife and my son. They rule
Anthony: My mom. She was a bass player
Jesse: My grandfather
As a band, how often and for how long do you practice?
Anthony: For about 4 hours once a week. We all
work full time so its sorta hard sometimes but we make
it
What advice would you give to someone putting
together their first band? Would you encourage or discourage them?
Travis: Do what makes you happy. Don’t worry
about popularity or pleasing people. Make music you
would want to hear
Jesse: Doesn’t matter what style you play as long as
its what you love. Always have fun doing it
As we finish this interview is there anything you
would like to add?
Matt: Wilford Brimely has diabetes
Travis. Stay brutal
Anthony: We are unstoppable
