There are very few things I love more than touring

Day 1 rocked

Very authentic decor

Ok, I might not wait for someone else to do it for me

I’m working at night in a place that I shouldn’t have noise canceling headphones on, but their music is stuck on full volume and this run of songs makes death sound like a sweet release

I’ve come a long way from the days of having to carry a gun and keep my bosses Rottweiler with me while demoing houses in Olde Towne Easte, but sometimes I’m humbled by needing to use the same toilet

This place doesn’t seem very interested in art or music, so here’s some art I made for some music I made

TAKACS/Frontal Assault split “Cosmonium” out Nov 7

I still think everyone that claims to like System of a Down is just pranking me.

Their music sucks and their members are assholes. It’s an edgelord band made up of MAGA idiots and enlightened centrists.

I’ll never understand it

No rain for like a month

Should’ve brought my board to the top of Mt Kuwohi

I’ve been taking the “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” approach to MLS lately, but I also have to ask: How many different shades of yellow do we have in this year’s kits? It’s gotta be a record

Maybe I’m out of touch, and I haven’t really been following the Crew…but wtf is this graphic lol

No question about it, I’m ready to get hurt again

We drove 9 hours across the country and played a 3:45pm slot before 13 more bands played, and the crowd showed up early and rocked with us. Sold merch. Did interviews. Signed stuff (yall are crazy)

Cedar Rapids has something special happening. We’re heading back ASAP

New design for TAKACS

We’re on the road to Westside Bowl now. Get one in Columbus at Ace of Cups this Thursday 8/7!

I wanted to play more dates, but shit happens. Making up for it later this year…

Come hang at one of these!

I had a nightmare that my guitar’s bridge broke mid-festival set (which has happened before). I woke up and called my Sweetwater rep

He got my new guitar shipped to my door in 18 hours in time for us to hit the road tomorrow, and then a big one next week

Sweetwater is seriously the best
