BE: But seriously, how did you guys meet each
other?

Brandon: By luck, I’d say.

Paul: I think fate brought us together.

BE: More specifically, what happened?

Paul: I ran an ad. Actually, I got together
with Yoko Ono first of all, and then we
started jamming. We put an ad in the paper,
The Georgia Straight. Got the rest of the
guys together, and the rest is history.
Yoko: Paul wrote a bunch of songs in jail.
About how shitty it is to be in jail. He start-
ed a band and called it The Fight.

Paul: Yeah, when I was 19 I robbed a
bank, and I got sentenced to four-and-a-
half years in jail, so I sat there and wrote a
bunch of punk songs and got out and
formed this band.

BE: Do you think being in the pen influenced you
as a songwriter?

Paul: Yeah, a lot of my songs have to do
with a lot of experiences in the pen, or just
feelings of everything that’s involved with
it. The whole experience definitely affected
it.

BE: Do you think there is anything positive from
that experience that has emerged in your life?

Paul: Definitely. I have a respect for free-
dom, what it is to be free, and what we’ve
got that I never had before. I was young
when I went in, so I grew up a lot when I
was in there. All and all, I wish I never went

BE: What are your big influences?

Paul: I like the Misfits, NOFX...God.
Metallica, all that kind of shit. System of a
Down, but the punk comes out more for
some reason. Rancid, all that old-school
shit, too.

BE: Anyone else?

Yoko: I don’t know, I think a lot of punk-
rock drummers kick ass. Specifically Travis
Barker, Trey Cool from Green Day. I’m
proud to be in a punk band as a drummer,
because that’s fuckin’ punk.

Brandon: I[ hate, like, all music...and I’m
just doing this for aversion therapy; my
psychiatrist says it’s a good thing to do.
Jeff: Anything from Slayer to Frank
Sinatra, man.

BE: Right on. Do you have a message for the kids
that are reading this?

Brandon: Do drugs.

Paul: Quit fuckin’ reading.

Yoko: Play with matches.

BE: Anything to add?

Jeff: Yeah, come to our shows, we need to
get paid.

Paul: Come down to our shows. Girls
without penises are encouraged to come
down and hit on Yoko.

Brandon: Not the hairy ones.

Yoko: Not hairy and without penises, I’m
not picky.
