Canadian ramonescore punks/bird enthusiasts AVEM‘s new LP Three Birds Stoned is due out next week. I had the opportunity to do an interview with Julian Warmland (bass and lead vocals) from the band. A roll of a dice determines how many questions we can ask, between 2 and 12. All of the questions for RotD interviews are submitted at once, and there is no chance for follow-up questions. We rolled an ELEVEN.
