Lagwagon frontman Joey Cape recently spoke to Australia’s The Courier about the death of his friend Tony Sly of No Use for a Name, who died a year ago and would have turned 43 yesterday:
“When I think of losing Tony, I think not of myself but of Tony’s budding family, his many close friends and his loyal fans all desperately missing him. I find an emptiness, a figurative hole in my chest and a literal hole in my life and I most certainly will never be able to fill it. Still, I am a better person having known Tony Sly and will always consider our shared experience a fortune in hand and now in heart and mind.”
Lagwagon released their I Think My Older Brother Used to Listen to Lagwagon EP in 2008 on Fat Wreck Chords. Last September, they began writing a new album, which will be their first since 2005’s Resolve.
