A drummer is usually like the backbone.

Discharge is my first. I love Black Flag and all those guys. And Ramones, of course. And then I like Blondie,.. a little lighter.

We drink VB, Victoria Bitter, which is way better.

We also listen to PJ Harvey; a lot of driving music. You need something a little more relaxing in the car.

I really wanted to work hard on my lyrics.

It's not important to how the band functions or to what we do. That's just many people's opinions on what they see. A lot of people project stuff on you, but that's okay.

We loved Andy, so we wanted to keep him. He was in both bands, but Nerve Agents broke up.

I guess to just keep playing music; to just keep outdoing the last record.

Dante didn't work out, and then we found Ryan. He worked at a comic, record and toy store in Fremont.

All I've ever wanted to do was play music and go on the road and make records.
