Kevin McCaughey (Ion Dissonance – vocals)

SPB: What song would you want played at your funeral? 

McCaughey: The only song that comes to mind when asked this question is ''Highway to Hell'' from AC/DC. Simply put, I can only imagine how totally awkward it would be to have relatives and friends mourning my passage and hearing ''Highway to Hell'' blaring on the stereo. The situation itself screams my name. It's totally like me to try and lighten the mood with an inappropriate well placed joke.
