MM: Aw man, it's awesome. I love it! We get along so well, we are like best friends. He's hilarious and extremely creative. I've never met anyone like him, insane, but in a good way. We always have each others back and see eye to eye for the most part. We haven't even argued in the last fifteen years and that resulted in a fist fight, which was not pretty. After that we realized we did not want to do that again, so we don't raise our voices at each other. I don't want to be punched in the mouth by him and he definitely does not want to be punched in the mouth by me(laughing) so there a line we don't cross and it had worked out really well.
DDR: Was it you or your brother that recently did vocals with Nomara? I spoke with them earlier today and they asked me to give a shout out to you and they said you did a killer job on the album.
MM: I did that, it was me. They did the record in Columbus. That dude is an awesome guitar player, great bunch of guys. They had it was wonderful working with them.
DDR: How would you define the sound of Bobaflex to someone that has never heard your band before?
MM: I call it straight Rock and Roll. There's metal influences and bluegrass influences. When I was growing up, listening to music, my dad played bluegrass. Everyone that came into our living room when I was a kid, sang. I grew up thinking that if you were a musician you had to know how to sing. That's the whole basis of Bobaflex; if you are going to be in the band, you have to be able to sing. Growing up with bands like KISS, The Eagles, and Pink Floyd; they all had different singers and I always thought that was just cool. When we were looking at record labels, they thought it was cool too but didn't want anything to do with it. They kept asking why do we have three different singers; our bass players left the band about six months ago and he was a phenomenal singer. That was just our thing. Certain songs suit your voice and depending on the intensity or emotion of the song, one of us best represented it. When the 80's and 90's came around, it was all this focused sound and everyone started sounding the same. That just seemed really boring to me. Now, I love Guns N Roses, Metallica, and Megadeth; but I felt if I was going to be in a band, it would be more dimensional. Bobaflex's sound is definitely rock, but it's a more free sound. Everyone has a chance to shine on the record. That is another thing we do not have to worry about with a label. We can do whatever we want with the songs and the sounds on the record.
DDR: It's been said that you guys are hard workers and you are relentlessly touring. Is that something that you set out to do from the beginning or did it develop over time?
MM: It developed over time. Being
