I'm a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we've been in many bands.
As far as the grunge thing, there are three bands from Seattle that I would call true grunge.
I'm my own worst critic and I think everyone in the band is a perfectionist.
I listen to Helmet - and I love Helmet, they're a great band - but every song sounds the same.
My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs.
