We recently received a short note from the Canadian Ministry of Culture that we had not covered a Canadian band in a long time. We were a little embarrassed and since the note was delivered at night and in the form of a stone in the window, we decided to listen to this organization and look for another band from Canada, which kept the participation of bands from this country in our interviews at a nice 25%.

This time we connected with Out Of Order from Montreal. On the other hand, they are close to the Czech Republic and thanks to that we were able to see them on stage in Prague several times. In addition to the fact that they are one of the bands that many of my friends love, the band is currently releasing a new album on Randale records. And the album is great. Another wonderful band from Canada, another group that lives by what they love and another nice people who have something to say. Ladies and gentlemen: Out Of Order. Our questions were answered by singer Scott.

I know you started sometime around 2001, which already makes you pretty solid veterans of the scene. What’s the story behind the birth of Out Of Order, if you still remember the details? How did you come together and what made you start the band back then? Was it a spontaneous thing between friends, or did you already have a clear idea of the kind of music you wanted to play?

Well the details are a bit foggy in those days. There was a bunch of us that took over a friend’s apartment. It was in a big building on the 10th floor that overlooked the Halifax harbour in Nova Scotia. My friend eventually moved out and left all of us animals to ravage the place into a squat. Everyday we would go to a bar down the street called Sam’s place. We would show up at like noon and leave at like 4 in the morning every day. 5$ pitchers of beer and 10 cent chicken wings. It was the kind of bar that you had to pick the cigarette butts out your beers.

One night we stumbled over to another buddy’s house and decided to have an impromptu jam. My other friend picked up the bass but unfortunately the 2 ounces of mushrooms he had eaten that day didn’t agree with the movement of his fingers and I watched as he melted into the floor of the attic we were jamming in. To say it was spontaneous was putting it mildly.

My buddy played the drums and his sister picked up the bass and we started banging some noise together. We weren’t really aware of it then but this was the germination of Out of Order. I had played music a few times in bands that didn’t really come to fruition when I was a teenager but to me when we all got together and started making music I could see very vividly the direction we were going. The brother and sister duo had been playing together for years but when I came in, I brought a clearer focus, arrangement and structure to the music.

In Halifax at that time, like a lot of smaller cities, the subculture scene had been permeated with metal and D-Beat music. I wanted to play the music I was into. Raw and anthemic punk rock. Oi music that you could sing along to that was full of energy and urgency. The band allowed us to unleash a form of expression that we felt was lacking in the scene in those early days.

Do any of the members play in other bands or take part in other music-related activities? Is music more of a way to spice up everyday life for you, or is it the main passion and the work week is just waiting for Friday so you can stomp on the pedals and hit another stage?

Our drummer, Andy, has another band down in Manchester that he plays with called Burnt Kit. For me this band very much is my life. I work only to feed back into this machine. It’s my passion and very much consumes most of my time and energy.

How did each of you get involved in the scene in the first place? I’m always curious about the personal stories behind it, because I’m fascinated by the motivations of people who stick with subcultural music for their whole lives. Where did that passion for three chords come from?

It’s kind of a difficult thing to summarize.
I wouldn’t limit the passion to only three chords though. To me however, it make clear sense. I was always one apart from the crowd. I embraced the outsider mentality of the subculture. This music spoke to me at a very early age. I was always obsessed with music but punk rock expanded the conversation for me. A song, an emotion, no topic was out of bounds and Punk Rock preached freedom. It was different from the formulaic garbage that was shoved down everyone’s throats at the time.

At thirteen, I used to hitchhike into the city and go to an all ages club called Cafe Olé. It was there where I was introduced to the underground. Every weekend we would pack into this venue and there would be kids hanging from the ceiling just going nuts to this loud and amplified new expression of music. It was fun. It was exciting. It was full of energy and it was completely ours. It did more than speak to me. It somehow burrowed into my psyche. I was hooked and almost four decades later it still is the rudder that determines my life.

Do you remember the first punk or Oi! record that really hit you and changed the way you looked at music? Was it a record, a concert, older friends, or something completely different that had that impact?

I remember I was about 13 when Bad Religion released „Stranger than Fiction“. When I first heard that album, it was a game changer. Shortly thereafter a friend of mine gave me a mixed tape which was comprised of 3 albums, UK Subs, „Another Kind of Blues“, GBH, „Charged“ and the Bad Brains „Bad Brains“ album. That tape was like mainlining adrenaline to the brain. I remember going to Halifax and watching a band called the Lost Berry Pickers. The front man was wearing military shorts. He had a shaved head and was playing a red Flying V guitar. He left the stage and was yelling at everyone who wasn’t moshing. I had no idea what I was seeing. It was scary and intoxicating all at the same time.

Do you think that in today’s world of three-second attention spans a new generation will still come along with a passion for underground music and subculture? Or has the world of music and the scene changed for good?

Change is an inevitability. Embrace those young kids that come to the shows and are still trying to figure it out. They are the future and important. The underground will always speak to people and give a voice to the disaffected.

I don’t really care how people come to the scene. All that matters is that they are there now. Enjoy the ride. It’s crazy and can leave you filled with the excitement of endless possibilities. You may have the best time of your life or the worst but the experience is the journey.

I believe that this journey we are all on, will be boundlessly enhanced by the crunch of an amplifier and a little hook in a song that vibrates down your spine. We own it.

What do you think about the eternal question of form versus content? How do you see the role of politics in the punk scene? Is it something that annoys you, or is it an inseparable part of punk? And isn’t any kind of statement political in its own way anyway?

I think punk rock can be anything you want it to be. If you want to be a „political punk rock band“, then go for it. To me it’s art. I have apprehension about subverting that art in order to fit into the pressure and mold of what someone else’s definition of you and your music is supposed to be. I don’t like to be a mouth piece for someone else’s ideology.

I think the expression of freedom in art and music is in itself a political statement. Lyrics can be a form of parable, an expression of rage or a derisive comment on how our world works. Everyone should be able to express how it suits them. To codify punk rock as you „have to be this“ or „you have to be that“ is counter to the freedom of expression to me.

There is however a basic understanding of the human condition that exists in the spirit of the underground. An empathetic connection to each other that can be found as an undercurrent in our subculture. I reject the formalism and codified pretext for any sort of rebellion though. Our voices won’t be measured by the validity of our political consciousness by someone who was listening to Electronic Dance Music last week. You decide what and how to express yourself.

Which bands from the current scene do you consider kindred spirits? Who do you enjoy playing with the most and feel on the same wavelength with, both musically and personally?

Well we have some great friends over in Europe. Especially North Western Europe. We love it when we can get together with that crowd. We recently went over to play at Oi at the Pub in Apeldorn. Great, no nonsense scene that really embraces a diverse fraternity. The boys in City Riot put that on and all those bands that play that fest are the cream of the crop. Malad, Unrivaled, Vilder, City Riot. Proper Oi that we have a kinship with.

There is a band from Boston that I enjoy called Badterms. Kingsway Flyers from Stockport are great pals of ours as well as Criminal Damage from the London and Brighton Crew. We love the boys in Mess from Mexico and we are really happy for them to be making their first appearance at Rebellion Festival this summer.

We have a great bond with our brothers in Bats Out from Regina , Saskatchewan as well as our fellow Montreal friends, Ripcordz who we often share the stage with. We recently hosted our friends Lammkotze from the Black Forest and it was a great time hanging out with those guys.

And which current bands do you listen to as fans? Which ones do you think our readers definitely shouldn’t miss? What’s been playing in your ears lately?

I listen to a lot of different music. My tastes have a broad range. Everything from Soul music such as Lee Moses and Bobby Womack to Country Music and artists like George Jones and Hank Snow. I love the Adverts and classics like the Clash and the Damned but lately I can’t stop listening to Hard Evidence, Lost Legion, Battle Ruins, Wheelz, and the Baboon Show.

I listen to a lot of contemporary artists as well like Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger and the Jam. I adore the Pogues and Thin Lizzy. Whenever I wanna feel the Rock n Roll in my veins, Motorhead goes on loud.

You’re one of the bands that regularly tour Europe. What are your experiences with the European scene? What differences do you notice between the North American scene and the one in Europe?

I am always grateful that we get to tour anywhere. It’s a dream to get to travel all over the world and play music for people. It’s even more surreal to experience playing music for people half way across the globe and have those people sing your songs back to you. Europe is always a blast to tour. The scene there truly understands the virtues of support and hospitality. We’ve met so many friends over there that have become like family to us.

I think that the main distinction between Europe and North America is the hospitality. The North American scene is very a much fend for your self one. The hospitality in Europe is extended beyond just the organization of the show but rather to food, accommodation. The vigour in the support is always great to experience. I try to bring some of those element to my gig when I welcome traveling bands to Montreal as well.

Do you think you would realistically be able to travel to Europe under normal life circumstances? Could the chance to travel, discover another continent and play shows there be a motivating factor for young bands? Has being in a band brought you adventures you otherwise wouldn’t have experienced?

I traveled extensively when I was young. I hitchhiked all over Europe and North America in my early twenties without the luxuries of a tour bus. I’ve always said however that being in a band is like subsidized travel. I never in a million years thought I would get to experience some of the things I have with our music and I’m eternally grateful for it. The difficulty with travelling with 5 other guys however is that you have to make concessions. The band comes first and you have to operate under the pretence that not everyone wants to do what you want to do. We are a group and we look out for each other. You have to try to find a common ground while making sure that the music and the show is always paramount in whatever you are planning and doing. Still, it’s a shiny fortune to be able to bring this traveling circus to many different places that I would most likely not land in solo.

From your perspective, has the European scene changed from your first tour until today? Do you see any shifts—whether in the audience, the way shows are organized, or the overall atmosphere?

Yes and no. Like any place, things change, people change. Promotors, bands and people all drop out but new ones always arise to fill in the gaps luckily. I see a lot of bands booking tours during the summer months which kind of was a dead zone for European booking for a long time. No one wanted to risk the gamble of a tour during the holiday period. More festivals keep popping up and those festivals are helping to feed the touring industry.

The remarkable aspect of hospitality still remains. Don’t loose it. It’s what keeps people coming back. It’s refreshing and so good to feel well received and taken care of on hard road.

How do you see the resurgence of vinyl? I’m interested both in your perspective as members of a punk band and in your view of vinyl in the broader music culture beyond subcultural scenes.

I’ve always been a vinyl snob. To me an album isn’t finalized until it’s pressed into wax. It’s the best way to listen to music and it comes with a distinct audible sensation. The art, the warm crackle of the vinyl turning on the stereo becomes a tangible experience. As far as the current gravitation of the mainstream toward vinyl, I think it will ultimately fade like many current trends. For the time being however, a lot more pressing plants who specialize in vinyl production have arisen and it’s now much more attainable to have your music pressed on wax then it has been since the 80’s.

Do you think streaming platforms are beneficial for subcultural music, or do they not really make much difference for smaller scenes?

My personal opinion is that I can’t stand streaming music. I absolutely fucking hate it. Being force fed some algorithmic equation while bands get fractions of pennies unfortunately has become a necessity. If you want to get your music out to the world in this age you must embrace the technology.

I’m an old school music listener. I enjoy discovering music through word of mouth and sharing. Your journey to discovery becomes all a part of the experience. Maybe I’m just an old man kicking a can down the street but discovery adds to the idea that this is yours. You own this. You have been let in on a secret that you now will share it with someone else.

I don’t think Jeff Bezos or whoever is vomiting binary logic into your head is as real as receiving an 8th generation mixed tape of bands you love but might never discover their names.

What do you think about the concept of Bandcamp, where bands can offer their music directly to fans? Do you think that kind of direct support from listeners can make a significant difference for bands?

I’m not as excited about bandcamp as everyone else is. They still take an egregious cut of your sales for basically doing the minimal. Selling physical merch gets a huge cut and by the time you receive your money for it, you get a fraction of its value.

It’s is however, the lesser of evils and if it get the music out there, then all the better.I also really am happy to hear that they have banned the use of Ai music on their platform which is a move I fully endorse. If you want to purchase music, do it directly from the band themselves or from a label who supports the band.

At this stage of life, how do you manage balancing band life with work and family? After all, there’s a difference between the enthusiasm of being a teenager and the age when your back hurts in the morning and instead of a bar night you sometimes have to attend your kids‘ birthday party.

I don’t do any of that shit. My band is my life. The passion for it has never wavered with age. I’ve grown to experience it in different ways but to me the greatest feat that I have done in my life is to be able pull ideas out of thin air and create something palpable that resonates with strangers across the world on some level.

It’s like magic and to get to touch that is exhilarating. The chase still fuels my odyssey.

Lately I’ve been interested in the relationship between people in bands and alcohol. On one hand it’s a common part of club culture, on the other hand there’s the straight edge movement. How do you see it? Is alcohol part of the concert atmosphere, or has your relationship to it changed over time?

My relationship with alcohol has definitely changed over the years. Especially as it pertains to music. I think that I used to use it as a crutch. I thought that I needed to get a certain level of intoxicated to be able to preform. The reality was however, that it only hampered my evolution. I don’t need to channel alcohol to release my inhibitions anymore. The music serves as the release. I can grow and hone my craft to achieve things that alcohol would never let me do before. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy a drink from time to time but the those times are infrequent and I never indulge before I preform.

Can you tell us something about your last European tour? Where did you play, how did the audience react, who did you tour with, how did everything go—and which clubs have you been banned from so far?

We did a couple tours over in Europe in 2025. Last May we landed on the continent and in August we toured the UK. We polished off our summer touring with an appearance at the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool, England. Mind blowing weekend. Punk Rock Christmas.

Our last trip over to the continent was a fantastic trip as well. We had such a great time in Metz, Apeldorn, Berlin and Munich. Prague is always an amazing time as well and we usually time our trips over to Czechia to have a day off in that beautiful city. The reaction was phenomenal and we were really happy to pretty much sell out of most of the merch we brought. We finished off the trip down in the Black Forest at Randale Record’s HQ. It’s always amazing to hang out down there with those beautiful people. We are starting to consider a return for next year hopefully.

What does the underground and subcultural scene look like in your city and the surrounding area? Which bands, clubs or DIY spaces should a punk or skinhead check out if they moved to your town?

Montreal and Canada in general is very much a Mecca for Punk Rock. There are a lot of amazing artists and musicians coming out of the scene here. We are very fortunate to have a really grass roots DIY ethic here in Montreal. We are at the forefront of the underground subculture.

There is a very DIY venue here called the Thrashcan that is a banner carrier for the scene in Montreal. There is a really bourgeoning all ages crowd that puts on a lot of impromptu gigs that get swarmed by the youthful energy of a young crowd.

There is a bar downtown called the Pirhana that has always been supportive of us. We are actually launching our new album there. As well, there are staples like the Barfly and L’Esco that have been holding down live music for years.

There are some amazing bands from all across Canada that are just knocking out some amazing music. Bands like the Enforcers, Toy Tiger, The Buzzers, Terminal City Rats, the Territories, Borderguards, Bats Out, Broadcast Zero, Random Killing, Armed and Hammered, Boots, Hang The Landlord, Förx, The Beta 58s, The Infectors, The Hacked, General Chaos, Bad Objection, Authority Fails, Constrictor, La Gauchette, We Told You So, Crooked Jacks, Jenny Woo, Forgotten Rebels, Ballistix, Ripcordz, and so many more are all producing some great music right now. We are fortunate to be surrounded by so many amazing bands that are keeping the spirit of the subculture alive and well.

How do you see the generational shift in your local scene? Is new young blood coming in, or is it mostly a community of people who have been around for a long time?

It’s really fantastic to see a new crowd coming up and going wild at shows. There is a new scene that is producing some high caliber music. The scene is weird but I love it.

Kids are coming out, dressed like Kabuki Juggalos in clown paint, ripping the pit apart. It’s diverse and very exciting to see. Outdoor impromptu shows are occurring and 500 kids are showing up and enjoying a new generation of the scene. I don’t know how they got here but I don’t care. They are here now and it’s great to see.

How do you see the relationship between subculture and social media? Did it help connect the scene, or does it rather divide people and encourage conflicts?

I think at this point it’s very much imbedded in all of our lives. It’s definitely a double edged sword though but it has made connecting to fans and an audience so much easier. As much as it bridges connections, it can also divide people.

Social media can encourage beefs between people that have never met. I prefer the days of knocking up your issues in person rather than barking at people behind the protective barrier of distance and the internet. Anyone can say anything on the internet and I’ve discovered that you aren’t really going to change peoples opinions in a medium that is built to reinforce your pre existing beliefs.

I don’t see much of a point in arguing online. We all exist in our own bubble and any disagreement becomes an invasive attack. I prefer to speak in person where we can weigh the consequences of our thoughts and actions rather than bounce our own perceptions into an echo chamber.

That being said, social media has become an important tool that gives us a little more autonomy to forge our own path.

How do your songs usually come together these days? Does someone bring a riff to rehearsal, or do you have a more defined songwriting process?

Each song is unique in its composition. Not one song is written in exactly the same manner. Sometimes our guitarist has a riff. Sometimes I have a melody and lyrics. It’s very much an inclusive process though. As the singer I try to steer the ship the best I can. I usually compose the arrangement but we have a process and we like trying different things when we write. The most important thing to consider is what benefits the music or the song as a whole.

How important are lyrics to you? Are they more personal, social, or do they mostly capture a certain mood or moment?

Lyrics are paramount to me. I agonize over the writing of the lyrics. To me it defines our music. My words come from my soul and I am very meticulous when fabricating them. It’s poetry and will be engrained forever. It is imperative to me to speak a some form of truth that I will be happy to repeat for the rest of my life.

Many of the songs I write are drawn from a very personal well. There is no particular topic I focus on. A feeling or an emotion can be explored. A story or an imaginary event. An event from history or an even rage at life, people and situations. Oftentimes I write a form of parable or lessons that existence has taught me. The word is a vessel which I use to communicate to myself and those around me. Crafting their composition in a purposeful and thoughtful manner is of the utmost importance to me. It can be a manic process but one I really take time to make correct for myself.

Has your approach to writing lyrics changed over the years? Do you write about different things today than when the band started?

Slightly. When I was younger I was living a little closer to the edge then I am now so a lot of those lyrics were more frivolous then what I currently write about. I don’t think I would have been the writer I am today without the growth that arose from those early days so I don’t recall them with disdain. I labeled the importance of the craft from the beginning. Lyrics were always my outlet and I spoke close from my heart.

What do you consider the biggest advantage of being in a band for so many years? And on the other hand, what’s the hardest part?

It’s not an easy road to travel on. It involves sacrifices and a lot of tenacity to continue doing this over the years. the advantage is that I get to fulfill my passion and create something that comes from a very personal experience. Music can uplift and take us to space in this world.

It’s doesn’t come without a price though and when you’re up against it sometimes you can question yourself and your choices. I’ve always said that 70 percent of being in a band is just dealing with bullshit. The other 30 percent is mind numbingly amazing. Luckily that the 30% is good enough to out weigh the bullshit you have to deal with.

Like life, a musicians career comes in peaks and valley. Ride the highs when they are high and the lows when they are low. These moments of highs can be fleeting so appreciate them when they come because they can disappear in the blink of an eye. We are fortunate to get to live this life of rock n roll, so embrace it because the sun rises and sets all the same.

Is there a show you’ll never forget? Whether because of the atmosphere, chaos, or something completely absurd?

We’ve probably played close to a thousand gigs over the years and I remember each one of them. There are so many highlights that it’s so difficult to choose the stand outs.

We played with the Crack at their last show I believe years ago on Stoke on Trent and that definitely is one of my favourite and remarkable memories. We had such a great time and everyone was so kind to us that night.

We used to do runs down to Toronto and play at a friend’s bar called the Rearview Mirror in those early days. Those trips were pretty remarkable for their debauchery and I remember them very fondly.

Most recently this last trip to the UK, playing for a packed house at Rebellion will definitely go down as a highlight for me. We are so lucky to get to do this and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Is there a place you’d still love to play but haven’t had the chance yet?

There are so many. I want to go everywhere and play for everyone. We have a South American tour coming up later this year so that will be a bucket list scratched off. We are looking at some thing’s over in Asia in the not too distant future as well. I would love to go to those places that bands don’t normally go to. If I could take this carnival to places in Africa or to Asian steppes would be surreal to me.

What does the ideal show look like from a band’s perspective? A small packed club, a big festival, or something else entirely?

That’s more difficult to pinpoint. The perfect show you can feel in the atmosphere. It could be a big festival of a small packed show. It all depends on the vibe of the evening. More times than not though a small packed show will have that little magic in the air that bands crave. The sweat and raw energy of a crowd in your face is the essence of our music.

What’s your relationship with the DIY approach in the scene? Do you think it’s still important, or is the scene slowly becoming more professionalized?

DIY is the alter on which this band worships. The integrity and spirit of DIY is the essence of Out of Order. Over the years through our involvement in the scene we have learned lessons that do lend to a more stylized impression but at heart and in practice we are absolutely hands on with every aspect of the band.

We create the art, book the tours and organize the shows ourselves. I have learned over the years not to rely on others that you can do your self. If you want something done just do it yourself. No one is going to hand you anything.

How has the punk and Oi! scene changed since you started? What feels different today—for better or worse?

Things come and go. Trends are here one day and disappear the next. I’ve seen the rise and the falls and the peaks and the valleys over the years. We remain. Like cockroaches after the nuclear explosion, we will persist as long as we have the willpower and tenacity to.

My belief is that if you aren’t willing to preserver in the low times you don’t deserve to enjoy the high times. Integrity is essential in this subculture and those willing to bend themselves for short term gain will become beholden to others and will eventually fizzle out.

In essence though, the underground is voice for the outsider and the disaffected. Rock n‘ Roll is a feeling. Although we all experience things differently, we still are all essentially fed by the crunch and distortion and the emotion that this music projects.

After all these years, what still motivates you to keep going? Is it the music itself, the friendships in the band, or the reaction from the crowd?

Well at this point I wouldn’t know what else to do with myself. I have no other discernible skills. In seriousness though, I’m motivated by everything. From the live performance, to writing, to recording, to working on the art. Music is absolutely the outlet for me in all aspects of my life.

I obsess over it and feel very blessed to get the opportunities that music affords me. I get to travel the world, meet people that enjoy the art and music that has defined my life. Being in a band is all encompassing and there is so many avenues to explore myself and the world through it.

Do you feel that your view of punk has changed with age? Does it mean something different to you now than it did when you were twenty?

My initial reaction to this question was no. The ethos has always remained the same for me. Then I started thinking a little more. I am not the same person I was when I was 20. So I don’t experience life the same. I hope to think I have evolved as I grow and learn and I think my ethos has grown with it.

The core values and beliefs still exist but there are nihilistic aspects of myself that I think are more polished within me now. I’m a little softer than I was at 20. I don’t think there were 3 days that went by back then where I didn’t have a knuckle up with someone for some reason. Nowadays I enjoy my L shaped couch too much. If you know what I mean?

The scene though is like any other scene in this world. There are shitty people and good people in it. The shared camaraderie and community of Punk Rock is my choice however.

How important is the connection between different subcultural scenes for you—punk, Oi!, hardcore, ska or reggae?

I think they are all basic derivatives of each other. I don’t trust a skinhead that says he doesn’t like punk rock. I understand how there could be certain elements of the scene you gravitate to but I think there is a vascular connection between all of the varying scenes.

I very much belief in the roots of the music and adhere to the belief that their is so much more that connects us rather then divides us.

You released a new album this year. Can you tell us a bit about it? How long did it take to make, what themes does it deal with, and why shouldn’t people miss it?

Yes, Lex Talionis was released on February 6th on Randale Records. As I write this, our LPs are in the mail on their way to us. We are hosting a launch on April 4th this year, here in Montreal.

We started writing it shortly after our last album, Under the Knife was released. So it’s been a couple years we have been working on it. The best thing I love about creating music is the evolution of our writing process. We have taken a huge step with this one. Our goal is always to hone our craft and get better with each thing we do.

We are so happy with the sound we created on this album. We took the time and recorded it properly with no shortcuts. We found the right mixer to elevate our sound. We are very proud of it and we have been inundated with praise for it while it’s still in its infancy.

Topic of the songs are varying. I had a life altering tragedy when I first started writing this album so I think that event informed the entire process. There is rage and sorrow and hope all rolled into the fabric of this album. We invite everyone to give it a spin as we think that there is something in it for everyone.

If someone was going to hear Out Of Order for the very first time, which of your songs would you play them first—and why?

That’s like Sophie’s Choice to me. They are all my babies so it’s difficult to choose one to put ahead of the others so I will list a few that I think define us.

From our second album, Better Days, the title track of that album is a very emotional experience for me. From our third album, Stuck in the Mud, „The Last Warrior“ is a song that seems to resonate with a lot of people. We released a track called „The Ace is High“ on a split we did with our friends, Bats Out that I love.

„The Grass is Greener“ from our 5th album, Under the Knife, really captures a time for me as I reflect on lost friendships and days long gone.

Off the new album, „Needle in the Park“ just imbues me with that rock n roll spirit every time I listen to it. It makes me wanna shake from my hips. We actually shot a music video for that one which will be released very soon.

Also, „Edge of the Tracks“ and „Salt in the Wound“ as well as „Tonight“ from Lex Talionis really get me going when I hear these tracks.

The last words are yours. Is there anything you’d like to say that I didn’t ask about? Your moment.

I just really wanna thank you for the thoughtful and well informed question. They were insightful and well researched and it was a pleasure to answer them.
