On the rack: 
This Or the Apocalypse

Wretched sinner, tell us about your latest deeds of evil and spite, 'Haunt What's Left'!

 

This or the Apocalypse - For our last album I pissed off hardcore kids by yelling references to Victorian and Romantic era European poetry.  This time around, I’m going to upset them with American Civil Rights literature references and a few Hopecon/Lawrence Arms/Name Taken references.

 

You fiend! You intend to tour the world with this devilish noise, don't you?!

 

This or the Apocalypse - Yeah.

 

I reckon you have many ungodly stories from your sinful tours. You might as well give us the worst story since we're preparing to fry you anyway!

 

 

This or the Apocalypse  - The one story that sticks out to me is the time we found POISON’s bus parked in a Walmart parking lot the night before my 23rd birthday with a stupid Brett Michaels trailer on the back.  Poison was playing town the next night.  I banged on the door and the driver told me to get lost.  Totally thought he would have liked to hang out with a younger touring band, guess not.  We ended up throwing empty beer cans at their windows for a while before us and two other bands on the touring package got out duct tape and literally covered the bus and trailer with our posters.  The Walmart staff came out to get autographs and photos with all of us because they thought we were on the Poison tour.  We left before the cops came, but the other bands didn’t.

 

 
Oh, you are indeed a wretch! If we had not caught you, what would you and your cohordes have done now? Recorded even more of your fiendish rattling?

 

 

This or the Apocalypse - Touring with us is like watching an episode of “The Office”. I’ve gotten wasted and done stand up comedy in clubs, sort of successfully.  Sean has taken cots to sleep on out of their packaging in Walmart Super Centers and set them up in the handicap bathrooms so he could go to bed.  We all just do kind of dry and ironic things throughout our day to pass the time.

 

 
Damnations! You are beyond redemption. Name the five musical pieces that you want to bring with you when we send you to hell!

 

 

This or the Apocalypse – I don’t know, just pick a couple of tracks off of Wu Tang’s ”36 Chambers”, I don’t really care which ones.
