And the future? "I've thought to myself, 'There's going to be some point where kids will lose interest in my music, and then I'll have to play 21+ shows, or just give up. But that just hasn't happened yet. As long as there are kids out there moshing and singing, I'll be there with them."

  •   WHAT'S F'N NEXT? BUKE AND GASE  |  January 29, 2013
    Almost every person I've told about Buke and Gase assumes that they'll hate this band, which isn't their fault.
