1. What are your top five albums that were released in 2015? (In order 1-5)
- Title Fight - Hyperview

2. What band did you discover in 2015 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
This year, I found myself listening to my fair share of the newest Jenny Lewis record during any long car ride. It's just a great record all the way through. And it just seems to be a really personal record.
3. How will you remember 2015? (In terms of music)
2015 will be the year that I started having much more trouble describing bands to people. And that's a good thing. It just seems like genres are blurring more and more, and people are finding more ways to put four chords together.
4. What can we look forward to from you in 2016?
I'm 2016, I hope to be out playing shows with our new record Pinetum. In between said shows, I will be watching hockey with four cats until the sun reemerges in May.
5. What records are you looking forward to most in 2016?
I cannot wait to hear the new Basement album. I've been listening the their new song "Promise Everything" at least once a day.
6. How relevant is the physical format record/cd/tape in 2015 and going into 2016? What do you see changing in terms of physical vs. digital discussions?
I think there will always be people that need to have that physical copy in their hands and in their collections. The technology is always changing in how we listen to our music, but the beauty and feel of an LP cannot be matched. Both digital and physical can live in harmony together. I believe it!
