Much thanks to Adam for taking the time to do the interview.

Robbie: How is your new record going to be different than your previous ones?
Adam: Are we recording here? Check check 1, 2. The new record is called "Commitment" and its gunna be out in October. It’s a rock and roll record. No hip-hop bullshit. Little bit of reggae. We worked with Miguel from Sublime so there’s definitely a little bit of reggae. It’s all over the place. It’s a rock and roll record.

Robbie: What are some of your favorite bands to tour with?
Adam: We’ve been on the road for 3 years almost. The bands we get along with the best are… *Ryan from the band walks by* There’s Ryan.
Ryan: I don’t know who you are.
Adam: Ryan does interviews too but he’s a pussy. So anyway. The best bands on the road are Showoff, they’re not around anymore but they were incredible…*Ryan interrupts*
Ryan: Adam likes big balls in his mouth…*makes a grrr noise* big balls.
Adam: No. Umm, Allister, August Premier, Count the Stars, Zebrahead, My Mom, The Funk Junkies, and One Life are some other bands.

Robbie: What’s your favorite song to play live?
Adam: 3-10 because I get to throw my guitar and break stuff.

Robbie: What’s the craziest thing you’ve done on tour?
Adam: One night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I got drunk at the hotel bar and then I took all of the furniture out of my hotel room and barricaded our drummer, Ryan, into his room with all the tables, chairs, lamps, plants and what not. Then the cops showed up and handcuffed me and took me away. Then I put them on the guest list so they showed up at the next night's show and we signed autographs for them and sold them some t-shirts. That’s probably the craziest thing.

Robbie: What’s your most embarrassing moment?
*Stubhy from the band comes out of nowhere*
Stubhy: Let’s talk about the jumping off the roof.
Adam: Stubhy’s most embarrassing moment on tour is when I jumped off the roof and was doing all fine but when Stubhy jumped off, he broke his leg.
Stubhy: Adam's most embarrassing moment is when he pulled his dick out and everyone was like “Oh it’s so tiny!”
Adam: Actually when I pulled my dick out…
Stubhy: Everyone goes, “It’s tiny!”
Adam: That actually never happened. I pulled my penis out because I had some lovin' waiting for me in a hotel room. See its not really the size as much as how you handle it. Remember that kids. But seriously, the most embarrassing moment is when I went to throw my guitar to Willy. I threw it about 15 feet in the air and it came straight down onto the stage in St. Petersburg, Florida because nobody was there to catch it. It looked bad but it was hilarious and now the guitar plays better than ever.

Robbie: What’s the last cd you picked up?
Adam: The last cd I bought was "The Resignation" by the Rx Bandits.
Robbie: How is it?
Adam: It’s incredible. It’s one of the best CDs I’ve got this year. The other good one I got was "Deja Entendu" by Brand New which is one of the other best CDs of the year. It’s a super good CD.

Robbie: If not in the band, what do you think you’d be doing?
Adam: If I wasn’t in a band right now I’d be one of those guys at the porno shops that mops up the semen off the floor at the window show. Jizzmoper I believe is the correct term.

Robbie: *laughing* What are your plans for the future?
Adam: My plan for the future is world domination starting in Naperville then escalading into Chicago. Then we’ll go on tour and destroy the world. Ain’t that right Pat? *talking to Pat from One Life*

Robbie: How’d you guys all meet?
Adam: We all met at Alcoholics Anonymous. I was a recovering alcoholic at the age of 16 and Joe Sell (Lucky Boys Confusion) was a recovering sexaholic and we had similar interests seein as how we both liked Operation Ivy. We hit it off and started writing songs together. Then we met Stubhy at a truck stop in India. Actually we all met in high school and started the band because everyone else were fuckers except for us so it was fun.

Robbie: Who were some of your major influences?
Adam: My major influences are The Clash, Operation Ivy, The Decedents, The Replacements, Otis Redding, and The Beatles.

Robbie: What color is your toothbrush?
Adam: My toothbrush is blue and everyone should know this by now because I made it very clear.

Robbie: What advice would you have to any upcoming musicians like me trying to make it big in this industry?
Adam: Hey Jeremy. What color is your toothbrush?
Jeremy: Pink.
Adam: Let it be known that Jeremy from One Life’s toothbrush is pink.
Robbie: What advice would you have to any upcoming musicians like me trying to make it big in this industry?
Adam: The advice I would give to upcoming musicians is make sure you’re with your friends, but more importantly make sure your playing with people who are serious about it and not just fucking around because brotherhood is one thing but staying focused is more important than anything. Anything can happen to anybody, it doesn’t matter. You have to work really really fuckin hard but it can happen if you do.

Robbie: Do you have any final words?
Adam: My final words are...don’t eat yellow snow. And if you're ever at a bar in Naperville called Orazios and you hang out with cops (it’s a cop bar), don’t tell them how much pot you have because they still are cops even though you get drunk with them. And the other advice I have is...ummmm, let me think about this for a second. Don’t ever see One Life sober. Believe me, its not worth it. *laughs* Just kidding about that. But my main advice is don’t eat yellow snow kids.
