“I love working with women. I think it's because I spent so much time in my brother's heavy metal band. Sweaty boys in the rehearsal room.

“Acknowledging that we lose is the overarching theme in everything in Stars. To me, that's what punk means. Stars is a punk band because we acknowledge loss. We're not trying to win. We're not trying to project victory. You win alone. I'm not interested in singing for the one winner in the room; I'm interested in singing for all of the losers in the room.” TryingMeanWinningStarsLosesLossRoomsVictoryBandProjectsSingingWinnerAcknowledgeThemeLoserPunkNot Interested Author:Torquil Campbell
“Lennon's was one of the first voices I emulated when I began to sing. When we held tryouts in my pal's dad's living room for the singer in our band, I sang a Beatles song that Lennon sang. There is something about the timbre of his voice, something that it conveys, that still gets to me. The quality and the poetry of his lyrics. The wry sense of humor. And the boyishness, in the beginning. There are a great many things that touch me about him... Lennon was, to put it in his own words, a 'working-class hero.'” FirstsStillsSongVoiceRoomsQualityClassHeroDadBandSingersGreat MenSense Of HumorWorking ClassLiving RoomTouch MeLennonPalsWryTimbreWorking Class HeroTryouts Author:Don Henley
“I have been doing merch' since I was 15 and in bands when I was a teenager - silk-screening shirts, making the emulsion in my mom's closet I converted into a dark room, through college.

“That's the way I came up, writing and recording at home. I developed by playing everything myself. I was a drummer first and that's my favorite instrument to play. Once I get the drums done, everything else comes real quick.

“I like to have a drink or two, but I cut down on that. It was getting a little out of control. Two of the guys in the band don't even drink at all. We just riff off each other man.

“Venues are all the same, all feel the same, these generic blank spaces. I like artists like Lightning Bolt-bands that go in and kind of change things every time, play on the floor, set up in the middle of the room.
