Q) If you were to offer an aspiring punk band any advice now, based on your experiences, what would it be?

A) One: when your drummer has recurrent mental breakdowns and runs off in the night, naked, after shows, then you might have a little problem. Two: when your singer writes a lyric featuring the chorus, “Fuck you for pissing on me / Fuck you for pissing on me”, directed at the other members of the group, that might be a good time for a little talk. Three: if two of the members of your group are romantically involved with the same person, who is also your tour manager, resulting in dramas on a daily basis, sit down and discuss the situation.
