What is your best concert experience?
I hate to break the rules on the first question, but I am going to make this a top five list and they are in no particular order.  
1      Verbal Assault / Agnostic Front, New Year’s Eve 1986, Miami
2      The Replacements/Elvis Costello at The Garden. 
3      Kind Diamond on Halloween, Tramps,  NYC 
4      Ryan Adams, Town Hall, NYC
5      Alex Chilton/True Love, Maxwells, NJ


What are the top 5 records you could never live without?
The Replacements - All For Nothing, Nothing For All 
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Ryan Adams - Any
X - See How We Are
Sick Of It All - Live In A Dive

If you could take 3 bands and have them tour together, which ones would you pick?
This one is simple. The Gaslight Anthem, The Hold Steady & Rise Against. These bands are currently on heavy rotation for every road trip I have taken lately and are all equally as amazing live as they are in studio.

If you could put a supergroup together, who would it consist of?
Douglas Colvin - Bass
Jeffrey Hyman - Vocals
John Cummings - Guitar
Thomas Erdelyi/Marc Bell - Drums
S*ALT Sessions
