My interview with Jamin Orrall from JEFF the Brotherhood is up on The A.V. Club Chicago. Read it here. I’m really pleased with how this turned out!

An excerpt:
AVC: There’s this sort of goofball sense of humor that runs through all of your records and music videos. How do you work that into your writing?
JO: I think that’s just our personalities coming through. We don’t like to be serious.
AVC: That’s one of the consistently great things about punk, is that punk bands can be funny.
JO: Yeah, totally. I just hate when I see stuff about us, and it comes off as being too serious. I just, I don’t know. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
AVC: So you’re not going to write a Drake-style autobiographical album about your greatest hardships?
JO: No. I don’t have that many hardships. I think compared to a lot of people, I’ve been pretty lucky.
