5. We heard that you played with Woe, Is Me, how was that?
Bryan: It was probably the best performance we have ever put on as a band and one of the greatest crowd reactions we have ever received.

Michael: The crowd was fucking awesome. We had a great time. 
Zero: We stole that shit.



6. If you were to fuck, kill and marry one of your band mates, who would it be and why?
Bryan: Kill Jordan, fuck Michael, marry Zero.

Michael: Kill Jordan, fuck Bryan, marry Zero.
Zero: Kill them all, then fuck them, THEN marry them.



7. If you were a hobo, what would your cardboard sign say?

13. If you were a Disney villain, who would it be and why?
Bryan: Bob from Twin Peaks.
Jordan: Jafar. Because his name starts with J.
Michael: Oogie boogie.
Zero: Capt. Hook, because he’s a pirate and he’s the cleanest on the ship and he kills whoever the fuck he wants.



14. Would you rather get a tattoo of your face on each others dick or dicks on your faces?
Bryan: Could we have each others dicks tattooed to our dicks?
Jordan: Well… if tattoos are being spoken about I would rather set up a donation fund so I can finish my sleeves and stuff! Jordan Hollywood Oman is now taking donations if you want to help!
Michael: I have to decline this offer. Dick tattoos and face tattoos are against my religion and quite frankly I’m upset that you asked. 
Zero: How about my dick tatted on your face?



15. Last but not least, promote yourself :)
Bryan: If you want to listen to a band that is actually trying to do something to progress music as opposed to try and rip each of their peers off with the same stage show, same sound, and same image just for the sake of having the same fans to come to their shows and buy their music like every band in this scene is doing nowadays, come check us out. We have our full length cd coming out in September. Come out to a show and help support musicians who are doing it right. PS. I have a solo cd coming out soon ; P
Jordan: :) Check us out biatches. We are awesome! www.facebook.com/ABNBand
Michael: Listen to my band cause there isn’t any other around like us and we are something new and fresh.
Zero: FUCK GOD!
