Thank you so much for agreeing to this interview! What should our readers know about Teen Mortgage, your sound and what you stand for?
We're here to bring out your primal tendencies out – without beating around the bush we want to take you on a journey and make sure you get in the pit. our songs are about the absurdity of living during late stage capitalism.
You are gearing up for Camp Punksylvania in the coming months. Any summer camp worth its salt knows there needs to be a lot of different activities to participate in. What activities would the members of Teen Mortgage be in charge of if Camp Punksylvania was an actual sleepaway camp?
Definitely dodgeball.
End of the season Campfire; What song are you performing?
Hank Williams III “pills i took”
Camp Punksylvania is a smorgasbord of fantastic acts. Which bands are you most excited to see on each stage?
Super stoked for War On Women, Mikey Erg, and the homies Fat Chance.
Was there anything I missed that you'd like to share or dive deeper into with our readers?
Yous better be able to show us what ye can do in the pit 😈
Roll of the Dice is a short interview format with a variable amount of questions. A pair of dice is rolled and the total, between 2 and 12, is the amount of questions we can ask. All questions are given to the interviewee(s) at once, and no follow-ups are allowed. The interview may be lightly edited for content and clarity.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed's musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he's self-aware, amirite?
