Too many bands practice in their garage, play a couple of shows locally, and expect opportunities to appear from the sky. Bands have to push, work, grind, and struggle to make it happen on their own.

I hate it when people try to act cool. I hope they all get gonorreah and die.

I firmly believe artists should be paid for what they create.

I don't have a girlfriend, I have a dog.

I think age is just a stupid number.

As a producer, I'm an objective observer, helping a band form their ideas into a cohesive album. It's a step back from the intimacy of creation.

The process of introducing people to new music is amazing. It's a gift. One of the best parts of any day is when someone says, 'Hey, check out this new band...'
