And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.

I was in a band called Hooker for a while.

In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.

I've been vegan since I got out of the hospital... It's another eye opener. It changed my life in a number of ways.

I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.
