Scott: Say who you are, what you play, and what band you’re in.
Aaron: Okay, my name is Aaron Feibus, I play guitar and sing, I’m in the Æffect.
Brad: Brad Bulifant, ditto, except I play drums and sing.
S: First off, how’s the tour going?
A: The tour’s going amazing.
S: The RV’s holding up?
A: Hehe, no, the RV is not holding up. The RV… Geez, what’s gone wrong with the RV so far?
B: Cruise America has gone wrong with the RV so far. [laughs]
A: Let’s see, there’s no brakes, we got the oil changed at 3,000 miles but there was no oil in there for some reason, none of the cabinets work, the A/C doesn’t work, the generator doesn’t work, the locks in the back don’t work… C’mon Brad, help me out.
B: We blew a tire.
A: Yeah, we blew a tire. You name it, everything has broken. If not, it will break eventually.
S: What’s the one band people should be watching, besides you?
A: The Start.
S: The Start?
A: Yeah.
S: I got here late, I missed them.
A: Hopefully you can make it to another show, because they’re fuckin’… really good.
S: Alright, who would win in a fight: you guys or the Faint?
B: Us.
A: Yeah, yeah… I think that we’re outnumbered, but…
B: We’re tougher.
A: They can’t see with all that mascara running in their eyes. [laughs]
S: Woah… Alright, what’s one song you wish you never wrote?
A: Umm… Does it have to be in this band?
S: Naw, it can be a different band, sure.
A: I think back in the day I wrote a song about Christopher Reeve.
[everyone laughs]
S: Wait wait wait… Was it before or after his paralysis?
A: After.
[everyone laughs again]
S: Did you talk about the paralysis in the song?
A: Umm… Maybe.
S: Ohhh… I think someone’s an asshole.
A: Hehehe…
S: So, why should someone come watch you as opposed to, say, Good Charlotte, or New Found Glory, or anybody else on the tour?
B: I’d say it’s something a little different. I mean, it’s not an average sound that you kind of hear that often so it’s kind of interesting to hear something sort of new.
S: It’s bootylicious, but it’s still punk rock.
B: Yeah.
S: Finally, this one’s controversial but… Who should not be on this tour?
A: Oh, oh shit. [laughs]
S: If you had to name 1 or 2 or 10 or 20 bands that you just think don’t belong here with everybody else…
B: Ah fuck… Third Strike.
S: They’re horrible.
A: I’d have to go with… Trusted Company.
S: Trust Company?
A: Yeah. Not that the band is bad or anything, like… We’re a different style as well, but I think they’re maybe better off doing the Ozzfest or something.
S: They don’t need the Warped Tour support, they’re on a major label and stuff…
A: Right. I’d also say Home Grown.
S: Ooh, they’re playing right now.
A: Are they?
S: Yeah.
A: Maybe they should stop. [laughs]
S: That band was cool when I was 14.
A: Haha, yeah.
S: Alright, thanks a lot.
