Bands Quotes

The internet seems to be what a lot of independent bands are doing these days. They're bypassing the studio - the big studios, EMI and all the record companies - and just doing it themselves, online, selling their stuff, getting known through that medium.

Some of my favourites... there's the classics like Blur and Oasis and Pulp, Suede and The Charlatans, The La's, The Smiths, The Cure, stuff like that. That was a huge part of my teen-years and bands I still listen to right through to this day, but it had a huge bearing on me as a teen and it was some of my favourite music, and is still to this day some of my favourite music.

Signing to a major, there weren't many bands from our sphere that were doing it. I mean, obviously R.E.M. had done it, and Husker Du and the Replacements had done it, and maybe Soul Asylum, but that was probably about it.

-
Many bands that I like that have longevity on their side with consistent members are even splits. It makes a big difference to have the other two guys involved every step of the way. It keeps the thing moving. Everyone is taken with equal degree of seriousness. It's not just because it's a four-way partnership. It also relates to taking things maturely and taking other people's thoughts into consideration.

Before I decided to concentrate on writing, I drew pictures and painted, and made Super 8 experimental movies.

I really like LIMP BIZKIT. I mean, I've said it for years - I don't know if anyone actually hears it - but I think LIMP BIZKIT are an awesome band. In terms of the rap-rock bands, or ANY bands out there, I think they really are truly among the best.
