Travis Reilly - This is Hell

Travis is the vocalist for This is Hell

1. What is your favorite Falling Behind song?

Haha, I can barely remember the song titles and no one except maybe a few long island kids are going to even know who Falling Behind is. I guess I will go with "One Down"

2. How was the European tour?

The European tour was pretty awesome, we played some really sweet shows, got to hang out with some old friends (parkway drive, dead swans) and make some new friends (sick of it all, bury your dead). I'd say the two highlights were Groezrock fest in Belgium and our London headline show.

3. What is the current state of Support Shirts and what are your future plans?

We are slowly starting to make some moves, trying to get into some shops & boutiques all over the place. Trying to find some bands to take them out on tour, maybe warped or something. Working on a new line that should be out in late summer or so, keep an eye on it. www.supportshirts.net

4. Whats next for This Is Hell?

This weekend we got the H20 cd release shows with our homeys Crime In Stereo. June 13th we start a 10 day run with Blacklisted that is mostly Canadian dates. After that we literally have nothing going on. I think the summer is going to be pretty mellow, I think Soldiers is going to do some touring.

5. If you could not listen to either Leeway or CroMags again for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

You sand bagging son of a bitch, this is a tough question and my answer might surprise you but I think I'd rather be able to rock Leeway for the rest of my days.

6. Best place you have eaten at on tour?

Fuck man that's another hard one, I will just rattle off a few. Satsuma in London, Wagamamas in London, Almost any fish and chips shop in England. Hugo's in Prescott, The Triple Rock in Minneapolis, Sneaky Dee's in Toronto, Street Noodles in Montreal, some burrito place in phoenix I can't remember the name, I ate 4 breakfast burritos in a 24 hour span.

7. If you could recruit an entire HC basketball team, which 4 players other than yourself would you choose?
I'll start with Eli from Killing The Dream, played against him once and homeboy can ball... Next would be Garret from Trash Talk, haven't played with him but Eli speaks highly of his game and I respect Eli, now my next two picks are going to be just based on physical build and height because I've never seen either of them play. Bedard from Bane, he's a lanky motherfucker and can probably pull down those rebounds, Rashod from Trash Talk, he's a big dude and could probably bang under the boards. Straight up, put me and Eli on a team with any three other dudes and we will smoke any five core kids.... please believe that.

7.5. What would you like to do...?

That's a pretty broad question (editors note: no shit), I guess I'd like to continue doing what I've been doing for the last few years. Playing music full time, running Support Shirts with my girlfriend, Touring all over the world visiting tons of new places for free. My life is pretty sweet at the moment. I also would like to see the following bands in 2008 or even 2009 will do. Seaweed, Leeway, Killing Time, Polar Bear Club, Ringworm, Atmosphere.
