When I heard that the RX Bandits were playing in my town, I knew I’d be there. What I didn’t know was that I’d end up interviewing them and photographing the show for Dying Scene. I’m not a journalist and I’ve never interviewed a “real” band before, but I got to sit down with Steve and Chris from RX Bandits and talk about their writing process, playing Bonnaroo, and what’s next for the boys from Seal Beach. Check out the interview for yourself to see how it went. Big thanks to the guys from RX Bandits for participating, and to Cathy and Chase at Sergeant House Records for setting it up!
