Tommy Stinson

“Growing up, listening to punk rock and stuff, this was one of mine and my best friend David Ross' favorite bands. This has this great song called 'Thick As Thieves' on it that kinda always reminded me of him. Paul Weller, I mean, can't say enough about this guy. He's a fantastic songwriter, fantastic singer.”
