Chris Brock (Early Graves)

SPB: What is the secret to a successful tour?

Brock: There is no secret to a successful tour. Defining what a successful tour is means a lot of different things to a lot of different people and you have to hope that you have surrounded yourself with a team of people that are on the same page with what exactly that is. The best part of tour is going home safely and in good spirits because, believe me, any[thing] else doesn’t fucking matter in the end. No amount of partying or fucking or money can ever replace your health and your life. The key to a good tour for me now is making it home and seeing my family and friends and being glad that I just got to play music every night with some of the best dudes and musicians I know to people who fucking care.
