(7) What bands would you say have influenced or inspired you the most?

Chris: It changes -- Government Issue, Rites of Spring, Moving Targets(old), Crimpshrine, Scratch Acid, King Crimson, Minor Threat (long time back)...

Blake: Too numerous to mention -- I guess there's always a little cluster of records that I'd take to my island with me. We all blow whatever money we have on records, though, that's a fact. I don't do the 'rare thing', like I don't pay more than list or whatever. But I'm still a collector nerd -- only because I fucking love records. I'd say most of the bands Chris said, NoMeansNo, Samiam, Rollins Band, and for me there's no way around Husker. That was just seminal -- in high school I had to bring New Day Rising to school because I was so excited about it. Void! We listen to a lot of Void (the Faith/Void LP) when on tour.
