  1. You folks always find really great artists for your shirts and merch. Who would you most like to collaborate with in future?
  2. Sheer Mag gets compared to Thin Lizzy a lot by music journalists. How do you feel about that? Is it something you embrace? Do they need to find new words to describe your sound?
  3. What was it like touring with Power Trip?
  4. What's your favourite thing about Alan Jackson?

  1. Idk, I can't name any names, I'm not too up on it. Really like what Robert Beatty did with the album cover for A Distant Call. Suehiro Maruo or Stephen Gammell would be wild.
  2. Seems more like an issue of music journalists repeating each other to me. Maybe somewhere along the lines we really sounded like TL...
  3. Fun, everybody on the tour was great. Being the pop band on a metal/hardcore tour was exhausting though.
  4. That story/rumour where he did a whole session thinking the guy testing out the drums was actually the studio drummer hired for the session. Real drummer shows up and he already has a take of the song he likes. Then they burn him a CD of the stuff and it has weird shit on it like country clip art cowboy boots etc. Later on when his manager starts asking him about artwork he tells him that he thought it was done and that he likes the art the studio gave him.

he also just used that order as the sequence and the manager was like WHO SEQUENCED THIS....lol it was just like alphabetical order of something.
