ask a billion questions about everything. Cameron: I think right now I would have to go with AFI. They’re in the same vein of nostalgia – all the same things that Steve and Andy are talking about of bands that have influenced us growing up. I think that over the years they’ve been continuing to put out great albums and evolving as they get older. Their music is reflective of that, and I think it would be cool to tour with a band like that and pick some things up along the way. If the music of Nominee were a donut, what kind would it be and why? Steve: Boston Cream or Strawberry Frosted. Andy: Yeah, Boston Cream! Cameron: I’m not a donut person. I’m out! (much laughter!) Steve: I’m definitely a donut person. Andy: And I’m definitely a donut person! Steve: Or maybe I would say old fashioned or something… Andy and Cameron: No! Gross! Steve: But Boston Cream for sure – not everybody’s thing but definitely a classic – a little understated but packed full of flavor!

So, what’s up next for Nominee? You definitely have Furnace Fest, but what else is coming up? Steve: We’re looking at doing a couple of small tours in the Fall that we are not yet announcing but we will be soon. And throughout the rest of the summer the record is still coming out, so you could expect two more music videos and a bunch of other cool stuff coming out from us – summertime merch and some other things too. And do you have any messages for people who are reading this right now? Steve: I would say keep your eyes peeled for next year. We have a lot of things in the works and a lot of things planned. Once the record is fully out and released, and the world continues to normalize itself, we intend to hit the road and be as visible and go to as many places and see as many new faces as possible. Andy: And we love and appreciate y’all.
