adam elvis huge johnny listened mom motown
My mom was a huge Adam and the Ants fan. My granddad listened to a lot of Motown and Elvis and Johnny Cash. So I was kind of well-rounded.
mom husband kids
My mom and I were super close when I was a kid, her and I sort of ran off from her ex-husband. It wasn't such a good time for us and I remember listening to The Distillers with her. One time I actually asked her, 'Mom, can I shave my head into a mohawk?'
thinking levels moments
You can't plan to reach another person on a deep level, it just happens. So those are the moments that I think I really live for.
mean-girls mom home
I was new, and it was like that movie "Mean Girls". This clique would tease me and make up rumors about me being gay. I don't even know why they did it. I came home crying one day and told my mom I couldn't be around them anymore. So we decided I would be homeschooled. I think it's important to check in with yourself and make sure you are being exactly who you want to be. When I am true to who I am, I'm a better girfriend. I'm just more happy being me.
favorite good guys huge local night
We were the local band. That night was huge for us because we got to play with some of our favorite bands. Now, those guys are pretty good friends of ours. We still look up to them like we always have, though.
dairy drink found helps milk stay waking
I stay away from dairy and I drink almond milk now. And I've also found that eating breakfast, like waking up and actually having it, helps me stay way healthy.
behind ends finally forever message took
'Looper' was so brilliant, and it took me forever to finally see it, but the way that movie ends and the message behind that is so selfless.
enjoy experience music studio
Being on my own in a studio is really, really different than making music with the band. I can't say I necessarily enjoy it more, but it was just a new experience for me.
people perceive punk
People perceive punk rock in the sense of Sid Vicious, all strung-out, crazy and insane.
I always knew I wanted to be in a band.
eat home ice love oh sugar tour
Oh yeah, I don't eat a lot of candy on tour. When I get home, man, I love candy. Oh, man, and ice cream. I can't eat it on tour because of the sugar and my throat.
dairy good however last meat proof quite vegan
No, I'm not a vegetarian. I do eat that way. I actually eat vegan quite a lot. I feel better when I eat that way, and I think there's been a lot of proof that's come up over the last however many years, that you can't deny, I don't think, that meat or dairy aren't all that good for us.
bands everywhere flies hour line rough van whether
I think it's important for bands to rough it. Whether you're in a van or a bus, it's still tough. You still have to stand in a two hour catering line with flies everywhere in the heat, and you still have to lug your gear.
The choices that we make aren't always perfect but it's ok... It's part of the journey.
