Hand Of Jericho: Your last full length, Skip School Start Fights, came out a year ago and you just recently put out an EP. Are there plans to record a full length any time soon?
Nick Thompson: Yes. After Warped Tour we’re going to be taking six weeks off to write. Then we’re going to do a headlining tour. Do some over seas stuff in the winter. Then in the early year of 2010 we’ll record a new record.

HJ: We have all heard that Warped Tour is like summer camp. Did you attend summer camp when younger?
NT: I did. I attended a camp called Camp Patmos. It was on an island called Kelly’s Island in the middle of Lake Erie. It was a God kid camp, and it was actually really cool cause we got to swim in the lake, we had pools, we had mini golfing, and stuff like that. It was good.

HJ: What is one question you have been given many time before?
NT: “How’s Warped Tour?”, “What bands you want to see on Warped Tour?”, “How’d your band get your name?”, “What would you describe your sound as for somebody who has never heard you?”, and “What was it like searching for a new singer?” Those ones pretty much wrap them up.

HJ: Tell us a crazy tour story.
NT: Ah, that’s another one! I don’t know we have so many of them. I’m just saying that. We were just in Japan, and went with our friend in Valencia, Every Avenue, and There for Tomorrow. We went to this bar after one of the shows where they hooked us up with drinks and stuff. We all got really wasted, and we were staying in this traditional Japanese Hotel. So they didn’t have showers in the rooms. What they had was this bathhouse that all the dudes would go in it. It had like a sauna and then had these stools where you sit and showered. And you couldn’t wear shorts. It was offensive to wear any kind of shorts. You had to be naked. So we all ended up [laughs] getting wasted. Then we ended up going in the shower room and do naked cannon balls in the sauna. Walking around the lobby buck naked. They are very polite and quiet race, people I guess. They’re very respectful, so they don’t really want to tell you when you are doing something bad. You can get away with a lot of stuff. There were a lot of nights like that where we would do really pseudo-gay naked stuff, and get away with a lot of it.

HJ: Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
NT: No one ever tries San Diego. I’d try there. She named her last name after that.
