The first band I was ever in, I played guitar. We did Gary Glitter and Green Day covers at the time. We were called Fizz. I have no idea why we picked that. We were, like, 12 years old.

My father played guitar, so I always wanted to play for that reason. But I think the biggest reason was just the '90s in general - growing up listening to the Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and bands like that, and going to concerts and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.

I always wanted to be in a band with a bunch of dudes who loved Green Day and all that.

I'm always a work in progress..
