Q: The recurring themes in your music seem to center around the radio, driving and getting out of a current situation, can you talk about that?

Q: The recurring themes in your music seem to center around the radio, driving and getting out of a current situation, can you talk about that?
Brian Fallon: Yeah, that’s just what we do here. Driving and trying to get a little bit better our parents did, I guess? To not have to worry? I don’t know. That was the whole thing like “I’m gonna get in a band. I know I can’t be a doctor so I’m gonna try to leave here and make something different.” I think like, “It’s just over that next highway” thing. You know, the answer. We’re searchers, wanderers.

Why would I hate them? What does anything they do have to do with me and my life? Nothing. If I don’t want to listen to them, I just don’t. But if I do, I do. Why would I not want them to succeed? Like, it doesn’t affect my band at all. I hope that they succeed, good for them. Y’know, there’s kids that don’t like my band and they need something to listen to too - so listen to these bands, y’know? And I, I- because your hair’s different than me? C’mon, I don’t care. If that’s what you wanna do, wear what you dig, man - that’s what Benny always says. “Wear what you dig.”

A few months ago I got a new tattoo, on my left wrist, of four black bars. It’s a pretty visible tattoo, both in design and in placing, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Leaving aside the inevitable morons asking me if it’s a (poorly drawn) barcode, I’m actually quite surprised by the number of people I know who are music fans, and heavy music fans at that, who don’t know what it is. In the case of readers of this article, the title’s given it away really, so you can all pretend to be scene and have known all along that it was the logo of long-deceased Californian punk band, Black Flag.

Getting any band tattoo (of a band that you’re not in) is not, generally speaking, something I consider eminently wise, especially not on your wrist. But not only am I pleased as punch, the number of people that I know or see (and then usually come to know) who have the bars tattooed somewhere is pretty high. It’s like belonging to a secret club. It also gives me an excuse to rant at length to people about the band, and to explain to them why they’re the greatest and most important punk band of them all. Which is exactly what I’m going to do here as well.

see them a-always followin’ the new comin’ trend
them a-got no soul, them a-so shameless

and when the dust clear, you can be sure that
I still be here skankin’ in my porkpie hat
just a-drinkin’ me brew an a-smokin’ my grass
this ain’t a t-shirt man, this is my heart.

When I was just a skinny lad on holiday by the sea
I met a girl in a Rancid shirt, and a tape she gave to me
With the Black Flag first four years and the Minor Threat discography
And punk rock saved my life
Going down the red eye back in 1998
Hanging out with household names and staying out too late
This angry adolescent found an outlet for his hate
And punk rock saved my life

~ Frank Turner, Back in the Day

I have such a kink for a random Minor Threat reference, and I honestly do believe that punk rock has saved my life on a number of occasions. I love punk in many of its forms, and I believe so much good can come from it. Frank Turner is only slightly older than me, and he seems to have had a similar adolescence to me. I love him.

Hi! I’d be the one with the punk knowledge. I can’t wait to write more stuff here.
