What inspires your lyrics?
Just life, ya know! Things that everyone laughs, cries, or bitches about. Wherever it comes from is what I take…usually a riff or a groove held makes me think of the words and lyrics.
How is the reggae scene in Louisiana?
Not big at all. There are a few bands who are trying to push the vibes, but more ska bands than anything. Stoopid and Rebelution come through the area and crush all the time!!!
Do you believe in the legalization of cannabis? Hell to the Yes! Legalize it all the way man!
What do you think prevents its legalization?
I have no idea – I guess they have not figured out how to tax it or to control the cultivation of it. It’s all BS though! Let people do their thing!
Do you think it will be legalized within 10 years? It should!
How about in Florida? How’s the reggae/rock scene Any favorite strains? Sour Diesel is my ISH! there and along the East Coast? It’s been good. There are quite a few bands killing it in FL. Hor!zen is one, and, of course, The Supervillians.
So how does the band practice, seeing that you live apart? We get together 2 weeks before a tour and work out what we want to play on the tour itself…and practice heavily!
Who did the art for your “Back in Babylon” tour?
A guy named Eric Swanson out of Illinois. That was the first CD cover he has done. He also did the work for some of our t-shirts.
Finally, tell me some most memorable acts!
311, English Beat, and, of course, all of the Silverback and Stoopid Family! Easy Star All Stars and John Brown’s Body have also been really cool to jam with and roll out with! Outlaw Nation is currently on tour this month in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, and Colorado. For more information, visit them on www.facebook.com or www.reverbnation.com while they get their website “revamped”.
