The Beatles were a huge influence on me to write really good melodies.

I'm a huge fan of sing-songy lyrics and loud guitars. Whatever punk band does that gets a gold star!

You can't have an ego when you're a team. One person can't really rule the roost.

When I first wanted to play guitar it was because I had seen Brian Setzer. He's so good! I mean I was just blown away.

I like Dave Davies from the Kinks, before he could play slick.

My first guitar was an Ibanez semi-hollowbody, I think it was called the Artist, from the early '80s.
