Badlands Week: Day 7, August 28th ► BADLANDS
What do you think is the best part about touring?
I think it would have to be being around people that really care about me and that I really care about. You wake up surrounded by 12 of your closest friends every day. That’s really cool. Also, you’re in a new city every day with new experiences. It’s hard touring, too, cause you’re inside a venue playing and doing press all day so you need to make your way outside and appreciate the scene you’re in. You have to be present and embrace the moment and appreciate where you are. And obviously I love being with fans. We’re all here for the same thing. It’s collective, this music we’ve created together.
“Badlands to me is like this futuristic society, this dystopia in the future where everything is corrupt and it’s a wasteland and it’s kinda chaotic, and it’s metaphoric for a mental state for me. So living in this mental state is like living in the Badlands where you can’t escape.”
