Our fans are always really cool and interesting people, and travelling around the country, and hopefully the world, meeting
them is awesome. Especially with my bros.........
Joels inspiration to start a band was: "Benji
and I saw the Beastie Boys in 1996. It was our first concert and we thought, why not!" Worst/Best thing about touring: "The worst
is being all crammed up all the time. It's easier to get sick in the van and mad at each other. The best is just everything.
The travelling, the meeting people." Joel likes the coffee in Australia better
than America. "The coffee here is 10 times better than in America" Joel likes flat white coffee What's great about being punk: Being himself,
saying and doing whatever he wants and not following anyones standards. If he wasn't in a band he said he'd probably
be shampooing hair in a hair salon. "I had that job once, i enjoyed it." Joel loves playing baseball and was shortstop
in high school He likes the Smiths, the Cure, Morrisey. "I
love Morrisey... i like depressing stuff, makes me feel good" Joel's favourite Smiths song is "The boy with
a thorn in his side", his favourite Morrisey song is "We hate it when our friends become successful." Life philosophy in a song: "Let it be" If he could be a cartoon character he'd be
a cross between Eeyore and Spiderman Best/worst thing about being a twin: "The
best thing is being really close. The worst thing is being really close." Joel didn't take lessons (singing) of any
kind... "I slept through school" Painful Tattoo experiences: "I got these stars
on my wrist. That hurt. I got my knee done and that hurt really bad. I got the ankle deal and that was horrible. Anywhere
on your leg is near the bone and that shit hurts." Would like to collaborate with: Kurt Cobain,
Tupac, Rancid and the Beatles One time in school when he was in the locker
room, the football players took him, taped him to the bench and put benegay on his nuts. Joel likes wearing tube socks Joel's clothing tip to girls:
"You should watch the weather, when it says rain white is always the way to go." Joel likes Natalie Imbrulia Joel usually sleeps in his clothing that he wears during the day Joel has a tattoo of a heart with a shooting star on his ankle Joel eats ketchup on everything Joel likes rice crispy treats Joel's had the same boots for four years Joel's afraid of the
