‘Pig Factory’ is an admirable and infectious album:

Unlike some of their peers, when The Fake Boys play loud, it’s not to hide the fact that they cannot play their instruments particularly well, nor is it too overshadow lyrics which are flat and sophomoric. The reason that The Fake Boys play loud is to incite a specific feeling, a specific emotion – in order to elevate the lyrics from ink smears on a piece of paper to poetry. And it’s apparent from listening to Pig Factory, the group’s newest album, that Jim Domenici and the rest of the band have spent countless hours drinking on porches, in the backs of bars and out on the road, in a van – saturated with tobacco smoke and sweat – all the while listening to 90’s emo and punk albums. Life on the road, coupled with their steady diet of Jawbreaker, The Replacements and Husker Du, has imparted a certain wry wit and the right mixture of jaded and angst – a combination that would make Matt Pryor and Rivers Cuomo proud.

Throughout the album,Domenici uses the metaphor of pigs to represent the politicians and corporate officials who indulge in greed. These tracks are some of the album’s angriest. However, on “Don’t Live,” Domenici and the rest of the band are talented enough to juxtapose bitter, spiteful lyrics with bouncy pop-punk instrumentation, complete with bright guitar riffs. Lyricall, Domenici provides his perspective on the environment that deceptive politicians and bottom-line corporate politics have created, as he sings, “Hello world, I’ve got a home and I see what your money’s missing/I try to live with soul, but not the soul they want existing here/You’ve got to make this war your own, like Jesus said per Ronnie/My love is ready to go.” Despite the thematic content, you can almost hear a smile in Domenici’s vocals, as bright, crisp guitars and pounding, thick armed drums and bass support him.

With “Realest World,” Domenici provides a different side on his distaste, this time illustrating his anger towards his ignorant fellow man. However, this time the sweet sheen of pop-punk has been replaced with the heavy grit of straight punk. Thick guitar chords blend effortlessly into sharp guitar riffs, while heavy handed punches are thrown from the bass and the bright cracking heartbeat of the drums. And with every line you can hear the sneer on Domenici’s face, “We’re pushing the lie for tomorrow at best and heavens a joke again/But I’m thinking we’re better this way/If they only knew their heads would explode and we’re the ones cleaning the floor/I’d rather be the one holding the door, it’s been nice to know you.”

However, a dark cloud does not hang over the entirety of Pig Factory. On “Best Post,” Domenici trades in his electric guitar for an acoustic one, creating an inviting warmth as Joe McTigue, bass, and Ryan Fisher, drums, provide handclaps. The track is a thank you to the people in his life who have supported him, believed in him in the past and because of that support, has made him a better person. “Everybody knows it’s a lonely world for some/I don’t care about anyone or anything except the things and ones who care for me/I made a choice last year to live straight from the heart/There’s no turning back, I’ve learned to love the life I live/You girls made the most of me and I can’t thank you enough/I hope my sense of humor wasn’t too much/It’s hard being alone/And it’s hard living through a phone/When time is the only road home and you and I both want to know we’re ok.”

There is a certain kind of passion that characterizes The Fake Boys and Pig Factory – a charming, bombastic, caterwaul character that is both admirable and infectious. It’s obvious even upon the first listen that Domenici and the rest of the band are holding nothing back, throwing all of themselves into their music. And it’s that kind of charm that makes Pig Factory an album to keep coming back to over and over again.

Sound Quality: Pig Factory is one of the rare instances where listening to an album on vinyl is a completely different sonic experience than listening to the digital version of the album. Animal Style Records were able to imbue Pig Factory with a bombastic, raw live quality that surges from the speakers, fists raised. A gritty edge, like the grinding of teeth, colors the edges of the songs – especially the opening track, “This Is Our Band.” The digital copy, while not coming off as studio-slick or highly polished, does not do the album justice nor the band.

Packaging: The album art for Pig Factory possesses almost an organic feel to it, with the illustration of the “pig factory” subtly colored. Another illustration, a group of pigs at an empty trough, with the track listing above them, is featured on the back on the jacket. The sleeve is the standard, plain white. Ignoring the album sleeve, the most disappointing part of the packaging are the linear notes. Whereas the jacket is beautifully illustrated, the linear notes are printed on a large, glossy sheet in dull, grey tones. There are no photos on the reverse side either.

Extras: The record comes with a digital download of the album.

Summary: This brand of music should not exist. It should have died out with Cobain and the new millennium, replaced with neon laced pop singers and rap artists. Even after its guttural static swansong, it lingered on in bars and in the cars of teenagers – bloated, tasteless and mass produced.  But this, this Pig Factory is different; it’s a reminder of what punk was almost two decades ago.

Make Sure To Spin: “Best Post,” “Swine Club” and “Realest World”

Getting Real with The Fake Boys

1. PTL Klub – “Sometimes I Feel”

as a child growing up my dad and his brothers had a hardcore band and they were without a doubt the greatest boston hardcore band of all time although terrible bands such as slapshot, dys, and ssd often get the credit… not to mention they were real and didn’t play the suck suck games all those other jocks were famous for and you certainly wouldn’t see them putting trash like dys is currently doing. boston hardcore is the fu’s, jerry’s kids, and ptl.

2. Ramones – “We’re A Happy Family”

this was the first band i ever heard, the lyrics were goofy but real… i can only imagine what my pre school teachers thought when i would sing it.

3. Buzzcocks – “I Don’t Know What To Do With My Life”

my dad had a truck with an 8 track player growing up and he had a different kind of tension, we listened to it every day and most days i still do… great song writing.

4. Negative Approach – “Can’t Tell No One”

this band spoke to me like no other, the lyrics are my life philosophy and should be yours.

5. Black Flag – “American Waste”

true story, if you don’t agree you’re probably rich.

6. The Jam – “This Is The Modern World”

most pissed, paul weller simply does not give a fuck.

7. Bad Brains – “FVK”

you may not understand how your system works but the bad brains have for a long time, band should not be this tight… fastest ever.

8. Nirvana – “In Utero” (album)

so you are the biggest band in the world, people loved your last record and are dying to hear what’s next! what do you do? if you’re kurt you write the heaviest record of all time full of feedback, screaming, pain, and sarcasm… the most punk moment in music history.

9. The Beatles – “Revolution”

read the lyrics and think about them, without a doubt the hardest song ever written. not only did this teach me at a young age to stand up against the oppressive nature of the not so “free” market but it also taught me what real rock and roll was all about. growing up on this helped me avoid a lot of the garbage shit music kids got into after the disaster of 1994, i was able to duck kiddie fart and poop shit like nofx, blink, offspring, and all that fat wreck chords stuff.

10. Death Threat - “Dead at Birth”

the most important part of hardcore to me is not the old bands you dig… it’s the bands you grew up with, the bands you went to see, and if you were lucky enough the bands you got to play with. i wasn’t around to see negative approach, poison idea, black flag, cro-mags, and the bad brains so to say that any of them are my tops would only make me feel stupid. death threat is and always will be my favorite hardcore band of all time, realest.

Interview w/Jim Domenici of The Fake Boys & Hammer Bros!

AO: Hi Jim. For starters, I want to ask what’s going on in your world? What is new?

JD: Eh, same old shit… I just got home from a years worth of touring, I got married and I just finished writing a new Fake Boys record. Now I’m playing Skyrim and getting ready to do it all over again. 


AO: What can you tell me about the new Fake Boys album titled Pig Factory? How does it differ from earlier releases?

JD: The biggest difference is that we are a better band all around and I am obviously a better songwriter now then when the band first formed. This record seems to be what the band has been trying to write since day one and it’s the record I’ve been trying to write since I was 14. We’ve had to deal with a lot of shit in terms of finding our niche/sound - but we’ve definitely put all that to rest.

The thing that has bothered me most over the past 4 years is the incorrect assumption that we’re trying to be a traditional pop-punk band. NO ONE hates 3-chord pop punk/ramones-core more than I do - reason being that NOT ONE Ramones-core band actually SOUNDS LIKE THE RAMONES!

For anyone who bothered to jam our last 7” Nice Knowing You on Kiss of Death, this upcoming LP will pick up right where that left off. It’s heavy 90’s ish alternative/pop with a heavy 60’s rock influence. Imagine it being a record influenced by 90’s alternative/pop and heavy 60’s rock…All the while being played by 80’s hardcore nerds. Imagine Negative Approach trying to write the first two Weezer records or some shit. It’s warm, catchy, and dead serious.

For people who fail to understand the way rock & roll works (which is pretty much everyone except you and I), you usually don’t hit the nail on the head right off the bat, or as I like to say…YOU DON’T TOUR ON A DEMO. This LP is us finding our sound completely, this is us smashing the fuck out of the nail, this is our fucking band. I learned how to be in bands by watching The Beatles and The Ramones growing up, and I’ve spent the past 29 years of my life trying to do what they did. I love every aspect of rock & roll, I play guitar 5 hours a fucking day, and I couldn’t be any prouder that my “I want to hold your hand” has evolved into my “and your bird can sing”. If that isn’t enough to make most of you feel stupid, suck this…Rubber Soul WAS NOT The Beatles first record. The Fake Boys Pig Factory will be the most honest LP of the year.

AO: I may be out of the loop - is there anything going on with Hammer Bros?

JD: We broke up a year and a half ago but we played a reunion this past Halloween. We did all Misfits covers, no original jams. 
 
 


AO: I remember once when we were hanging out frequently - we ate food at some restaurant in boston and then happened to fall into some sort of crazy intelligent/ deep conversation within minutes. Does this happen with you regularly? Who have been some writers/philsophers/thinkers etc. that influence your outlook on life?

JD: Dude, that was a great night… I think about it all the time. it definitely happens a lot, but it’s a reflection of the type of people i like to hang out with. My friends and I don’t think the same so we learn a lot from each other, and learning is one of the only forms of stimulation that truly gets me excited. When I’m hanging with someone new I like to engage in conversation and push that person to bring out their best thoughts and qualities.

In terms of writers/philosophers/thinkers I really dig Nietzsche, Thomas Paine, Betrand Russel, Kerouac, and John Lennon. When I was finishing up college I came to the conclusion that I would never use my degree because I didn’t support the justice system in which I would have to work, so I picked up a philosophy minor to feel like I was actually getting something out of my education. My life changed forever and John Lennon, he’s been speaking to me since I was a little boy who would wake up at 4 am and blast his fisher price record player. To be perfectly honest, my father is my biggest influence; he just knows how to live. During one of my last classes when I was finishing up my degree I was asked “What is the most important thing your Father ever taught you?”, my answer: The Ramones. What else needs to be said?

AO: Any thoughts on this presidential candidate stuff?

JD: I added one of my old high school english teachers on Facebook. He mentioned that to stop reading or watching the news was the best thing he had ever done. I soon did the same.

AO:
 
What can you tell me about your touring schedule in 2012?

JD: When this record drops we are gone, forever… don’t sleep. 


So you used to be in a hardcore band.. what happened?  You get fucked up?

nah, i was already really fucked up which is why i started a hardcore band in the first place. when we called it a day we were doing better than we ever had which is why it seemed perfect to hang it up. i needed hardcore to help me to explore who i was and what i really wanted to do with my life, and once i got all that i was looking for there was really no reason for the band to stay together just because things were going good. i never thought of hardcore as music, to me it’s more of a social movement so to hang around saying the same shit year after year would only make me feel stupid. another thing was i was sick of being misunderstood as a person, it feels like shit to have people think they know what you’re all about when they themselves are everything i’m against. what it boils down to is some people love hardcore with all their heart and some fake it for all its obvious advantages being such a big money market. for the people who live it everyday, i can’t thank you enough… and for the rest of you, i think you should read the lyrics and try to form some sort of real life connection with hardcore instead of living it through messageboards and making everything i love look so fucking cheap. i will be a hardcore dude until the day i die but to say my thoughts on how a hardcore band should operate are anything but fascist would be a lie. on a side note, i am playing guitar in a band called rude awakening with some of my best dudes and we got a 7” coming out on BBB so be on the look out for that. i don’t get to play all the shows becuase the fake boys are so busy and stuff but i can honestly say getting together with josh hynes to write these jams is always one of the best parts of my week.

What’s this song(drug rug) about?

i wrote this song when my now wife (how about that married life eh?) was going on vacation to south africa. i was just coming at her with all this shit, tearing apart every positive thought she had about the place before, during, and after her trip. obviously just being a nerd i was pulling up rape statistics and throwing them in her face, bashing her for wanting to donate to christian charities because she felt so bad for the poor kids in the townships, all the uge stuff i do to people. it was a good chance for me to work my sense of humour (completely based in logic and inspired heavily by monty python’s flying circus and the beatles movies) into my song writing and go way over the top, which i obviously love to do at all times. looking at the song now i am proud that the way i truly think can be reflected in a not so serious, funny way because the punchline for me and my sick brain is that when you strip it all down you’ll realize, i’m dead serious.

I’ve recorded all basically all the records for all the bands you’ve been in for the last 6 years.  What gives?  

it’s that friend rate, ooops… i know for a fact you know what i’m going to say and i know that you just want me write about it because it’s funny so, i do all my records with you because i am a lunatic. i can hear things in a mix that most would swear don’t exist, i will book time just to come back and dub a fucking pick scrape, i will spend the majority of the session recording feedback, and you are cool with it all ha. nah, we’ve had lot of time to develop a record making relationship and i can’t imagine i would feel as comfortable with anyone else and that really helps kill my anxiety. you can get the sound i want without fail and all your ideas and suggestions seem to come from the same place as mine. i respect you and you respect me, and that kind of a situation helps create good, honest, art.

What level is your Skyrim character?  You ever fuck with enchanting?    

hit level 31 last night dog, and i’ve been enchanting like a mother bitch. i play a mid aged nord named ‘lord christ’ but don’t form an opinion on this man so quick for he is not your typical nordic warrior. the first perk tree i pounded hard was block, my shield bash will fuck your life up quick. next, i took the one handed route just to accompany my shield prowess though i didn’t max it or anything. after a long discussion about archery in your studio, i dedicated a shit ton of time to the art. i can now slow down time by 50 percent and have a skill of over 80. lately i have been working heavy on speechcraft and alteration. i recenetly enchanted ‘the hand of christ’ (which is a skyforge supperior sword) with the ability to do 20 points of magika damage but please don’t take me for one of those companion losers, i just use them for the use of the forge. i also recently enchanted my elven bow with the ability to trap the souls of those who fall within the first 15 seconds of battle, shit is hot. i will most likely enroll for the college of winterhold sometime in the coming weeks as well, as long as my FAFSA goes through.

Talk about your new record almost like this was a real interview.  

this is the record i’ve been trying to write since i was 14, and with a little help from a friend i was able to let go of all the insecurities that have been holding me back the past 16 years and fully document my personality and life experience on record. i spent the majority of my childhood in my bedroom with joey ramone and john lennon being my only friends, and they told me that i don’t have to let this world tell me who i am and who i want to be. this record is my rubber soul, and this band is my last chance to be in the ramones. ‘pig factory’ was recorded with jay maas at getaway studios and will be out march 27th via animal style records. 

What’s good with that dog at the end of the video?  That looks like a cool dog.  

that’s my babe zucchini! i taught her to sit on my back when i do pushups so i could get an extra 25 pounds of resistance, she is my world. i actually have to go pick her up as soon as i’m done with this interview because she had surgery today on her cherry eye, she is going to be all drugged up and confused… breaks my heart. she gets seriously depressed when she has to wear the cone, like she won’t even move so it’s going to be a rough couple weeks but we are a strong family ha. i actually bought a shirt at petco that says ”it’s all fun and games until somebody ends up in the cone.”

Final words?  

this world can’t have me.

Earlier this year, I threw a record on my turntable by a band I had never heard of.  I did it out of morbid curiosity and honestly was not too sure I was going to even get through the first side.  Of course I judged a band by its cover and had no right in doing so, because that record ruled.  The band is called The Fake Boys and I made sure I did a proper review on them clearly pointing out that they reach back to the 90s and should never have been considered a pop punk band.

I do not know honestly why I was hesitant in spinning that record.  Maybe I need to just cut that crap off.

Anyways, I am glad I introduced myself to The Fake Boys.  If you were lucky enough to have grown up in the 90s and fed off the music scene, chances are you will love this band.  They recall alternative rock, grunge rock, and true punk rock in their style making for a style this music listener really appreciated.

Recently I was able to catch up with signer/guitarist Jim Domenici of The Fake Boys post-Fest.  It’s a little bit of a read, but let me tell you, this may be my favorite interview I have done to date.  Jim’s mind rolls just like mine does in ways and it was just fun shooting the breeze with him.  Check it out:

BHP: So, tell me, since I once again missed out on it…how was The Fest?

JD: We had a great time [and] got to see all our friends from around the country in one stop.  I tucked myself away at a bro bar and watched football for the majority of my time.  Overall, Fest exceeded my expectations and we couldn’t have been happier

Football huh? College or pro?  What teams are you a fan of?  I’ll always be a Browns fan for life.

Pro.  I’m a New England Patriots guy through and through though I would like to see them get away from this pussy pass shit and get back to defense.  The Buffalo Bills are also my guilty pleasure.  I know they are in my division, but I love the dirty culture.  Other then that, I can get behind the Browns, Niners, and Chiefs.

Nice.  So were you able to check out a lot of bands you wanted to see?

Luckily, we got to enjoy all of the bands we wanted to see.  Negative Approach was great; most brutal.

More importantly, how was your set?

Anyone there who means anything to us was in the room singing along and headbanging the whole time.  Probably the best show we’ve ever played.  I realized how lucky we are to do what we do.

Seriously, what feelings do you have when you play your heart out to a crowd and see them all singing along with you?

I can’t even explain.  I’m just a regular dude who tries to be as selfless as possible so the shit I write about really floors me.  To see people connect or even just appreciate my art enough to apply my songs to their own lives is the only reason I’m alive.  I’m a lucky guy.

Who else did you guys get to play with that night? 

House Boat, Pretty Boy Thorson, and Vacation all destroyed Nelly’s. We were all lucky to play such a solid venue to such a dope crowd.

So, let’s talk about the Fake Boys. Is there any special meaning behind your band’s name?

Our band is an open book.  The name, lyrics, melodies, song structures, album art, and even Facebook posts are all meant to be ripped apart so i don’t want to give away too much, but anyone who knows us personally knows we don’t front.  In a scene that blows it’s load over anyone and anything made of paper or plastic, we are definitely the odd men out but that’s ok.  We want the listener to figure things out for themselves and apply what they dig up to their own lives.

Can you give me a little history on how The Fake Boys became?

We all played in hardcore bands for years and as we got older we really missed melody.  We combine the ethos and aggression of hardcore with our love for song writing and crafting melody.

Nice way to formulate what you are now musically.  So was it always just Jim, Joe, and Jay? That’s a lot of J’s.

No, we’ve had a few drummer, but this is the first time we’ve felt like we’re all on the same page.

You mentioned you played in hardcore bands prior to TFB. Any notable acts?

none more notable than anyone else… hardcore is about the bigger picture and where you’re from not the bands you played in, MVHC until the day i die.dd

What was it like growing up in Lowell, MA?

We all actually grew up in different parts of Massachusetts and moved the band to Lowell to write the This Is Where Our Songs Live LP.  It’s a great city and reflects the working class values we believe and has always been a vibrant art community.  That being said, because of it’s mix of culture, it’s a wonderful place to create for good, honest, hard working people.

It is so easy for me to hear 90s alt rock in your sound. Who are some of your influences?  I am sure that is a very open ended question…

Well, I’m 30 so what do you expect?  For us the 90s sound is not a trend, it’s something what we grew up on.  Unlike the fake punk boom of 1994 that destroyed music as we know it, the explosion that came before it was the first and last time we saw real people getting their due for making real music in our lifetime, besides a few important bands who broke through i.e. rage against the machine and  Against Me!.  The early 90s explosion was driven by that hardcore ethos that lives within us, it’s something innate that we just can’t shake.  It’s not so much about a sound but about a way of thinking.  The bands that really do it for us are  Nirvana, The Fastbacks, Superdrag, Negative Approach, Ramones, Black Flag, Poison Idea, The Beatles, and Dinosaur Jr.

I’m 35. I hear ya about your preference in sound. I’ve been listening to more bands than ever that I grew up with like Hum, Promise Ring, Quicksand, and Dino Jr. just to rifle off a couple.  Do you really need to just blame all the fake 94 punk acts?  What about all the new bands or even the old bands that just keep trying to stay alive and really have no business doing so like dare I say Green Day and sadly Jane’s Addiction?

Ha ha, I don’t mean for shit like that to be taken too seriously as most of the time I’m just trying to entertain myself while putting my true feelings on the table.  The differences between people’s taste is important and keeps music from getting boring.  I don’t know why people seem to get bummed when I write about how I don’t like a band.  Just because I’m not a fan doesn’t mean that I think others shouldn’t be.  I grew up on bands like Nirvana and the Ramones who hid nothing.  Kurt liked Eddie but was pretty vocal about how he thought Pearl Jam was terrible!  The Ramones hated the Sex Pistols and Johnny was a proud Republican.  These bands were powerful because they kept it real and didn’t play the game for the sake of doing better.

I’m not a little bitch, so I’m not going to lie about my taste to sell records or make friends.  Anyone offended needs to lose their ego.  It’s just for me personally, the 94′ explosion never did anything.  When I look at it, I see a departure from the independent nature of the early 90s and the start of “we will do whatever you want, just pay us.”  It just sucks that the culture that bent over for business is what people commonly refer to as punk.  That’s just not punk to me, so I guess maybe I’m not punk.  To be honest, I try my best not to mention Green Day in this mess ever.  I think they’ve written some really great songs.  I’m a fan up until Warning, and besides that “Minority” song, I think Warning has some of their best material.  I also do not dislike music just because it’s a specific genre or from a certain time period, I dislike music when I get a feel that the song writing is dishonest.  I don’t write because I want to, I do it because I have to, so maybe I’m a tough sell.  I like any band who I think writes good songs.  I think of music from a next level perspective, I’ve learned to ignore all genres.  We are a band and when we go on tour we play with other bands and I take them for what they are  with no influence from public opinion.  With that being said, there are a lot of great bands in this country and they know that I’m not talking about them.  I think Lipstick Homicide should be the biggest band in the world and they’re going to be; they could save rock and roll.

Damn dude…well said on many levels.  Moving on, Pig Factory was a killer release by you all. When can we expect a follow up?

Aas soon as we wrap up this trip, we are going to demo some new jams.  We’ve actually been playing a new one called “Red, White, and Bouge” on this current tour.

I have seen a lot of people label you guys as pop-punk including someone at punknews.org, but that is far from the truth. What do you have to say to those who are quick to label your sound in one genre?

I mean, people can only speak about what they think they understand.  The fact is, I grew up on bands, not specific types of bands. The Beatles were a fucking band, The Ramones were a fucking band, as bands grew you wanted to grow with them because you liked the fucking band! For me, the best part about rock and roll was wondering what a band was going to do next.  With the pop punk scene,  you don’t seem to see that as much because most people within the scene aren’t intelligent enough to do so  It’s insecurity that scares people from thinking outside the box.  We come from the strongest hardcore scene in the country and shit is real, so we honestly don’t give a fuck about pop punk scene.

So, what is up with the cover for Pig Factory?

I want people to put the record on, read the lyrics, examine the cover and figure it out for themselves.  Like I said, this band is an open book.

I did that exactly with Pig Factory. I felt like a teen all over again examining everything from the vinyl itself to the lyrics. I wish more bands would do that.  iTunes really ruined that experience if you ask me.

I agree.  People I went to school with in the 90s who don’t go to shows or know anything about punk have emailed me and said things like “I haven’t gave a shit about music since high school and i just want you to know that you’re record brought back feelings i thought i would never feel again” and that’s what it’s all about.

I love that you have no problem vocalizing your thoughts over certain social networking sites. From salt intake to being of age when In Utero originally released, I am always entertained and intrigued by what I read. One of the posts I found interesting was pertaining to how you were once a 22 year old brainwashed Republican. What happened to you that broke the chains of self-closure within the comfort zone you were trapped in?

I took a principles of logic class and it fucked my life up for good in the best way possible.  I realized that the choices I’d been making weren’t logically sound and were in no way reflective of who I really was as a person.  I realized that being happy was the only goal worth having and that it was easier to achieve than people think or don’t think.  When I examined my life choices up to that point, I realized that the driving force behind them was insecurity, status, and money.  I was completely brainwashed.  It’s hard to think back on my life without getting upset, I was such a miserable person.  I wanted to die but was too much of a fucking pussy to do anything about it because I was caught in that comfortable, corporate net.  In the end, I have no one to blame but myself, but with the help of logic, philosophy, hardcore, and a good friend, I was able to figure out who I really am and how to live my life to it’s fullest potential.

I’m glad you got there, but I don’t think you should blame yourself at all man. You came to terms and moved to where you want to be. Honestly, I’m still hoping to find that niche that takes me to a new level where I can honestly say I’m living life to the fullest.

Right, life moves.  We gotta move with it and to think that where we are today is where we will be tomorrow is absolutely illogical.

So I know you are going to be wrapping up a tour, but what is next for The Fake Boys?

Just going to spend the holidays with my friends and family, get back to busting my ass at a job that i truly love with all my heart, and i’m going to write the greatest rock and roll record of all time… again.

Tell me why people should listen to your band.

We’re real.

Anything you would like to mention?

Save the country, buy American, and lose your ego.

one of the best meals of my life… thanks houston,.

fine.

top of the world mom! check out our 7 minutes in heaven spot on burning angel…
