ONE MAN ARMY<\/strong>
\n BAY AREA COMMANDOS<\/strong>
\n PHOTO AND WORDS BY CRASH<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bay Area has had a long and rich musical history, and One Man Army carry that fine tradition. I don\u2019t know about what to call it, you might say street punk, others would just say that they rock. I like the name because at some point I know everyone has felt like their own singular army, rolling over everything in sight, leaving a trail of destruction behind. Meet three Bay Area commandos, Jack, Brandon and Heiko.<\/p>\n

Introduce yourselves.<\/strong>
\nJ-I\u2019m Jack, I play guitar and sing
\nB-I\u2019m Brando, I play drums.
\nH-I\u2019m Heiko, I play the bass.<\/p>\n

So what is this place?<\/strong>
\nB-Tonight, one time only, we\u2019re playing the Glasshouse in Pomona.<\/p>\n

Where the fuck is Pomona?<\/strong>
\nB-The methamphetamine place.
\nJ-Tweek capital of the U.S. Pomona\u2019s alright, you never know what\u2019s gonna happen.
\nB-Last time we were here I got put in a cop car, so…<\/p>\n

What?<\/strong>
\nB-I got taken off the stage and put in the cop car.
\nJ-For inciting a riot.<\/p>\n

This is the last night of the tour?<\/strong>
\nJ-Yeah, we just did this U.S. tour with Tilt; started at home in San Francisco and ended tonight in Pomona.<\/p>\n

What was your favorite stop?<\/strong>
\nB-Ft Lauderdale when we played with the Beltones.
\nJ-Yeah, they were fuckin\u2019 great.
\nH-All of the stops were great.
\nJ-I liked Arizona a lot.<\/p>\n

Did you skate Flagstaff?<\/strong>
\nJ-No I didn\u2019t get a chance to, we had to go straight to San Diego
\nB-We got to skate the Buddy Holly banks
\nJ-We went to the Buddy Holly statue in Lubbock, Texas. I took pictures. All around the statue are banks, great banks.<\/p>\n

Transition?<\/strong>
\nJ-Yeah!
\nB-And there\u2019s this statue of Buddy Holly and his Stratocaster.<\/p>\n

How did you guys get hooked up on Adeline?<\/strong>
\nJ-It was all Jim Thiebaud. Jim really liked us and brought Billie Joe down to see us play one night and they asked us to do a record. Now we\u2019ve finished our second one, it\u2019ll be out in February. They\u2019re really great people, Jim\u2019s like one of the nicest guys I\u2019ve ever met.
\nB-Same with Billie Joe.
\nH-Rudy\u2019s not so bad himself.<\/p>\n

Whose knuckles are those on the record?<\/strong>
\nJ-That\u2019s Brian Galvin, the first roadie for Dropkick Murphys. He showed up with that tattoo. we\u2019re going see him in a couple of weeks in Cambridge. We\u2019re going to play some shows with Joe Strummer.
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

I know you\u2019re stoked.<\/strong>
\nB-You know I am.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

How is it a One Man Army if there\u2019s three of you?<\/strong>
\nJ-good question (laughs)<\/p>\n

Give us a good tour story<\/strong>
\nJ-It was all in Austin, Texas. We probably shouldn\u2019t talk about it.<\/p>\n

Did you get arrested?<\/strong>
\nJ-No.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s OK.<\/strong>
\nB-We beat up a sound man in Denver. At the end of our set, sometimes I throw my drums over and the sound guy freaked out and started chuckin\u2019 my drums. And he pushed me, so we pulled him into our dressing room.
\nJ-I\u2019ll give it to the sound guy, he was tough. He didn\u2019t go out. He got up and finished the night.<\/p>\n

Where are the best girlies?<\/strong>
\nJ-Austin, Texas!
\nB-I got lucky in a taxicab, the cab driver was creeping out on us the whole time, watching us.<\/p>\n

What are you gonna say to Strummer when you finally meet him?<\/strong>
\nB-\u2019Thanks for the tips!\u2019
\nJ-Yeah, that\u2019s like playing baseball with Babe Ruth, it\u2019s weird. Good weird though. He\u2019s the man, one of the coolest guys alive.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who else do you like?<\/strong>
\nJ-I\u2019m really into the Toy Dolls.
\nH-All rock n\u2019 roll that ever existed.<\/p>\n

And you\u2019ve got all the Nor Cal spots locked, so you\u2019re gonna hook us up, right?<\/strong>
\nJ-Yeah, we were skating before we were ever a band. When are you coming up?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anytime.<\/strong>
\nB-Call Jim and we\u2019ll go skate with The Ox!<\/p>\n
