One of the ones that always stick out in my memory was one of the Times we were playing the Redding festival in the UK and after we had finished playing the bus driver on our tour bus told us we had 1/2 hour to get our gear off and he was leaving. Apparently we had brought road cases on the bus (instead of putting them in the luggage bay) and he didn't want his unfinished wood floors to get scuffed, and he was done with us. So we got all of our gear and clothing off and piled it up in a parking lot on the side of the road outside of Redding and waited 8 hours in the UK drizzle until we could locate a new bus to accommodate us and make the drive out to pick us up. Other bands and fans kept bringing us umbrellas and food throughout the evening. It was a pretty woeful situation.

I listen to maybe the first Portishead album to really chill out, but Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Van Morrison all foot the bill pretty well.

You know I think people confuse control with support. What Bernie is trying to do is create a government that can support people's lives and needs, and not one that controls them.

Things like healthcare and a decent wage are just things Americans should have going for them in my opinion.

Thanks for asking and keep up the free thinking mentality. Discernment and engagement are the most punk rock traits in my mind.

We've been really lucky with the bands we've been able to tour with over the years. The list is pretty long:

Foo Fighters

Green Day

Joe Strummer

Gogol Bordello

Rev Payton's Big Damn Band

Bedouin Soundclash

Rancid

Pretenders

Skinny Lister

Devil Makes Three

Street Dogs

DKM

Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Social D

Steve Soto

Sean and Zander

It's a lot of great bands, and there are so many more that we've had the privilege to go out with and I hope we get to tour together with again!

No harm, no foul my man. I've got time for everyone!

Yes we are hoping to have the new record out by next spring, hoping to get into the studio in the fall, but we might be letting a few things trickle out before the record is released. Keep listening, and thanks!
