SPB: Do you have a preferred model of van for touring?
Assatly: Chevy G-20 Gladiator! It was my first van, I got it from my uncle with 115,000 on it. He got rid of it for a new van because it was "old" and would start having problems. I drove it all across the country and I sold it for $1,000 to FrogBall with 200,000 miles on it, and I think they put at least 15,000 more on it

Jay (yokedevils) SPB: What brought you back after a hiatus from making music? Jay: I never really stopped making music. Over the years I’ve been stockpiling everything from small riffs and weird scale runs to “feedback ideas” and full songs. I just haven’t been doing so publicly or with a … Read more
What does Unseemlier sound like? I've been mulling that question as I listen to I Have A Screw Loose, Somewhere for a while now. As I listen to more and more Sell The Heart releases, The band is from Boston, but seemingly influenced by late '80s DC.
