A day after Benny had opened for The Menzingers, with his other-other band, Mercy Union, he corralled Tom May (vocals, guitar) and Joe Godino (drums) into meeting with us over at Bar A in Greenpoint for a true “chat among friends”. The boys talked about what it was like touring with Sublime and how much they’d love to hit the road with 311. We also discussed fights at shows, a few end of the world scenarios and what everyone’s “ideal classic live-show” would be to see, once they’ve got that time machine thing sorted out. Don’t worry, we also got into aliens, guns, Scranton and New Jersey shit-talk.
