Dustin Cole Hayes (Making New Enemies)

SPB: How much space in your house is dedicated to music storage (whether instruments or records)?

Hayes: Well, unfortunately for my roommates 50% of our basement is filled up with all my music and recording gear. Then that gear is matched by an equal amount of friend’s gear left and forgotten about over time. So in total we have like 10 different amps and cabs of all sizes, two full drum sets, and a cornucopia of guitars and pedals strewn around. My roommates literally have to carve a path through the gear to the washer and dryer like a hoarder’s house…

I’d say I make up for it by cleaning the kitchen and floors a lot but I’m not sure if they’d even agree…
