Interview by Kevin Pollock
First can you
introduce the band names, ages & position in the band?
Adam Childs 22 years old- Bassist
Toby Cavan 20 years old- Drums/vocals
Jeremy Cavan 21 year's young- Lead Guitar/ Vocals
Tavis Baird 21 year's young- Rhythm Guitar/ Mechanics .
How did the
band form & how would you describe your sound?
JerryCan Started out as an organized
religion used to cheat the government out of valuable tax
dollars. When songs like our first hit "Cold skin, hot body
(a song about necrophilia)" weren't getting the airplay we
wanted, we switched to a more political style of lyrics. Our
sound can be described as heavy music with integrity; it has
also been described as "nothing like a basketball game" by
sports illustrated.
What equipment
does JerryCan use?
For Bass we use a Marshall bass head
with an old Ampeg stack, and a Fender precision bass as well
as a Thunderbird Bass. For Guitar amps we use a Fender Dual
Showman head with a Hiwatt stack and a Peavey Head with a
Peavey stack, for guitars we use two Stratocasters a Jagmaster
a Godin and a Dillion SG rip off. For drums it's Fibes all
the way with Yamaha Cymbal stands and Sabian Cymbals .
What has been
the bands biggest moment so far?
The biggest highlight we've experienced as a band so far would
definitely be a halogen light we saw in Banff. It must have
been on a two hundred foot pole as well as being on top of
a 8,000 ft. mountain and must have been three feet in diameter.
If you could
play for any band, who would it be, and where?
If we could play with any band it would definitely be with
Air supply. Their emotional songs and utilization of hazy
fog around the edges of the images in their music videos makes
our entire band weak at the knees. As for the venue we'd choose
Keith Richards apartment, because he's such a looker!
How has OntarioPunk.com
helped the band?
Ontariopunk.com has helped us by giving
us lots of much needed exposure, and by providing lots of
info on a whole whack of punk stuff! Ontariopunk.com also
allowed us to profess our love for Air Supply on the World
Wide Web.
What do you
like to do with your free time?
We all like to drink and listen to Air Supply as well as call
the members of Air Supply and breathe heavily into the receiver
and hang up before they can track the call.
Can you give
new bands who are just starting out some advice?
Work hard, don't set your aspirations too high, or was that
set your aspirations high… We don't know, make sure you can
play your instrument that always helps .
What are your
plans for the future?
We should be doing a cross-country tour of Canada in July
2002! Be there or be square.
