Q. what's the name of ur band and where did it come from?
KENNY: Im really not sure where it came from. It really dosent have a meaning. i think a name is just a name. its the music that matters
Q. was there another name before this one and if so what? and why the change?
KENNY: i think they were thinking of using one man down but they didnt because of one king down. so i guess redline just stuck
Q.who's in the band and what do they do?
KENNY : Redline is J.J. (sings) Mike (guitar) Rob (guitar) John (bass) and myself on drums
Q.is anyone in any side bands?
Kenny: No. i think even if we wanted to we couldnt. we all work (well most of us ) and were all in school right now so we dont have much time for side projects. Ive had opprtunities to go on tour with comin correct and ive turned it down.
Q.are any of you x-members of a band and if so what band/s?
Kenny: nope I played a few shows wit comin correct but thats about it
Q.how long have you guys been together?
Kenny: redline has been together for almost 3 years . it started out just JJ Mike Scott and a bass player. tafter a year of fuckin around they recorded a demo and started playin shows. Me and Rob saw the play at a show and they were lookin for a giutarist. he called them and it somehow worked out that i was playin drums and their drummer scott would play bass. so after like 2 weeks of practicing we started playin shows. we havent stopped since
Q.since the start has there been any x-members?
KEENY:scott has recently left the band . he wasnt into anymore he had a job that was important to him and redline wasnt payin the bills for him . i guess he just got sick of it.
Q. are any of u sXe, or vegan? if so for what reasons?
KENNY: No. J.J dosent drink really but in no way is he stright edge. SxE is just a label i mean my mom doesnt smoke weed or drink and shes not labeling herself as striaght edge. so i dont see the piont
Q. Have you guys played any out of state shows?
Kenny: yeah I think you really have to . if you keep playin the same places people get sick of you.right niow were tryin to play as many out of state shows as possible. i love goin to new places. but no matter were weve gone im alway glad to come home. there is nowhere else id rather live then NJ.
Q.If so do u have any road stories?
not really jsut the usaully having sex wit my gril in a room full of passed out people, getting lost , gettin drunk and fuckin with whoever falls asleep first , nothin to great. One time mike had to shit and we were on the road . so we pulled over and he shit in the woods. i could never do somthin like that ,. he just didnt give a fuck . he had to wipe his ass with an old t shirt . that was funny
Q.WHATS the best/worst show so far?
Weve had a lot of good shows . it usually turns out when we think a show is gonna suck it turns out really good. and if we think a show is gonna be good it turns out to suck. the best shows were probly the metal fest because playin on that big ass stage infrony of that many kids is like a dream come true, and playing at the lynhurst american legion is fun too. at lyndhurst it just all our friends and our friends bands. we have a good time no fights just alot of dancing alot of fun. the worst shows are the shows that you drive 3 hours to get there only to play infront of 5 kids and get no gas money ( even though you had an $80 garentte)
Q.WHATS your fav place to play live?
Kenny:like i siad before probly in lyndhurst nj

Q.What does everyone do outside of the band?
Kenny: Work and go to school. redline does not pay the bills so we need to work . and my our jobs suck so we gotta go to college to get better ones that just how it is
