If you couldn’t play music, what would you turn too? We live very close to this charity called War Child in Canada and I would probably do something with them. I’ve been in the field and we built some schools in the Congo. Just being in that culture puts a lot of meaning and depth into life. The fact that you’re giving back is important because most people these days are just taking. After twenty years as a band, what are some of the things that you all still feel you need to accomplish as Our Lady Peace? I think just in general, we are always trying to get a little bit better, personally or musician wise. We’ve never been a band that tries to repeat what it’s done in the past. It’s all about growth and curiosity. Whether it’s intellectually or musically or personally, it’s that arc of growth.

who: SUBLIME w/ Rome where: Hard Rock Live when: Sat, Nov 21st • 7:30pm info: HardRockLive.com @HardRockLiveORL

Congrats on Sirens, another evolution of the Sublime sound with you Rome out front? I think that with this record, it took a little time, but subconsciously we had gathered up so much music and cool ideas that when it came down to doing the record, we didn’t necessarily think we had to follow up [our debut] Yours Truly or write something as iconic as [Sublime’s 1992 debut] 40oz. To Freedom. It was more like, “We just need to write some music, man!” We were itching. It was like a mosquito bite that needed to be scratched. Where does the songwriting draw from? I read a lot. I like to apply everything I learn—through experience, or literature—to what I create. Simple songs are my favorite songs. They don’t have to be very intricate; they just have to strike up feelings, and I think a lot of that comes from the way I was brought up.

#THISISHARDROCK

Favorite part about getting back on the road? It sounds super cheesy but the show is the most enjoyable part of touring—literally that hour and a half onstage when you’re just jamming. It’s you and your friends and you’re just playing your favorite music. And you look out in the audience and there are thousands of people doing the same fucking thing.

How has your mindset changed since a long time member has left the group? For anybody that’s been in a relationship for a long time, sometimes change can give you a new perspective. I think for us, that idea is pretty important. As sad as it is to say goodbye to Jeremy, what it does is make you re-think things and look at things closer. Jeremy started in this band when he was really young, so he deserves the chance to go do different things.

The godfather’s of chilled out skunk (ska punk for those young uns) are returning to their East Coast home away from home at the Hard Rock Live just before TDay. With only a handful of albums and EP’s to their credit, the original two members, drummer Bud Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson welcome Rome back for another record and tour, keeping the Sublime torch burning for another round.

THE GAME

what: Knights vs HOUSTON COUGARS where: Brighthouse Stadium when: 7pm Kickoff how: Free to Students • Varies Gen Public who: Ok, so the game may not be as meaningful as it has been the past few years. With a slim chance at the AAC title this year, it’s more about the tailgate and catching up with the old school over brews.
