Even though it's an unpopular paradigm, wear your heart on your sleeve, and mean what you say. Believe in what you say, and there will be a time for that. Maybe that time hasn't come yet, but there will be a time for that.

I know how absurd things can get. I've had years where I've had questionable things going on in my life.

The future of punk rock has nothing to do with guitars. Everything interesting that I've heard in years has been nearly all electronic.

As a band, it's just me trying to please my own basement-hardcore sensibilities that I grew up with. It's not actually the future of anything, it's totally nostalgia.

We should self-examine and talk about things like our own white privilege and these phony senses of being an artist.

I'm still totally going out and sleeping on people's floors so I can play a house show and give away music. Of course I would. That's how I started. All that sort of stuff reminds you to stay true to the essence of what art is about.

I got married in Vegas on Warped Tour on July 4 - that's how crazy my life has been.
