KP: What’s next for The Out?

Ace: Who knows, maybe we will make it to a city
near you soon! We are just going to keep grinding,
writing, and trying to play live. Maybe we will be
ready to go into the studio late this year or early next
year to start our next record. We hope that this
pandemic clears up so we can all go back to a level
of normalcy…please get vaccinated!

Adam: These questions have definitely been
something that has taken me a moment to answer
because of how thought provoking they are. Let's
keep the world open and take the steps to help stop
the spread of this pandemic.

Tim: Thank you for allowing us to share a little bit of
our world with your readers, Kiki. I would like to

join in, but I always assumed that music was just
something that we did. I made it a point to use his

70’s era Lawsuit acoustic on ‘No Simple Landing.’ I
have effectively lost contact with my entire
extended family, but I would be curious to see what
they think of what we are doing now. I’m sure they
didn’t expect generations of bluegrass tradition to
turn into the seething political punk or bouncy power
pop that is on this record.

Bob: My mom and dad both played acoustic guitar
around the house when I was young. Music was
always on somewhere in our house of every genre
imaginable. When I hit teenage years, someone
gave me a copy of Rancid’s ‘And Out Come the
Wolves’ and Suicide Machines’ ‘Destruction by
Definition.’ That’s when I was first drawn into a
music scene, started going to weekend shows in
Cleveland, and ultimately, playing bass. My mom
bought me my first bass in 1997 and I still have it.
