Another crazy night in Detroit as I was given the chance to sit down with Alexis Brown from the band Straight Line Stitch. Having seen this band before I was excited to be talking with them. Straight Line Stitch has been around since 2000, yet it is after a slew of lineup changes where we find the powerhouse we see today. With a voice that projects the sweetest to

It’s pretty safe to say that I am quite the fan when it comes to music, no matter what the genre. With that being said, I’d like to point out, that my love for Shelton Hank Williams the 3rd, goes a bit above and beyond that.

Who are some of your favorite visual, literary or performance artists? (interests beyond music) James: My Favorite Artist is Monet. I actually got to visit The Louvre after I graduated High School. I was incredible. I have never been artistic as far as drawing or painting goes so I can really appreciate work like that. I also have a great respect for actors. Leonardo Dicaprio is one of my

“It is hard and we were hard.” That pretty much sums up my entire time spent with Pierce the Veil. That quote was actually taken from their [presumably] sardonic description of the recording process behind their newest album Selfish Machines. It is also an apt representation of my time with them. I had a chance to chat with Mike Fuentes (drums) and Tony Perry (guitar) while they were on
