Interview: Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I did quite a lot of interviews during the first two days of the 2010 Vans Warped Tour but out of everyone who was playing the festival (and trust me, there’s a lot of bands), one of the bands I was most excited to speak to was Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band.

On last year’s Warped Tour I considered the band to be “the most punk band despite being decidedly unpunk” and I spoke of their live show constantly. The results of my conversation with Reverend Peyton and his wife, “Washboard” Breezy Peyton, could not have gone any better. They were exactly as you would imagine and gave some of the most quotable answers I’ve ever heard (I mean “in a margarine world, we are butter” and “they’re either good or they’re bad – it doesn’t matter what’s in their pants;” you can’t get better one liners than that). They were down to earth and, like they claimed, incredibly real and unafraid to speak plainly and honestly about anything and everything.

The conversation once again proved that Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is one of the most punk bands around despite being decidedly unpunk.
