He talks at great length about the music, life, nature, tattoos and the new Cold/Volbeat tour!
Who is Volbeat?
The first Volbeat song I ever heard was “Wild Rover from Hell.” It’s not often I’ve listened to a band or a song for the first time and found myself sitting there (afterwards) thinking “WHAT the hell was that?” So I did the most natural thing that we unapologetic music enthusiasts do. I started digging around on YouTube.com and found a few of their Vevo YouTube channel videos. I didn’t quite know what to make of this potluck of pop, fast-paces bluesy guitar mixed rock & oldies that had a sing-a-long tug on every chorus. Honestly, I had to Google the word “rock-a-billy.” Really? But I don’t LIKE rock-a-billy. I was baffled, to say the least, but in a positive way, by this band from Denmark.

Angela: What can you tell us about the origin and meaning behind the band’s name, Red Line Chemistry?
Thomas: The name, Red Line Chemistry, comes from when we first got together as a group. We immediately had chemistry as musicians, but we continuously pushed each other to get better. We always want to push the group and the music to the limit.
Angela: What can this year’s JJO Band Camp attendees expect from a live RLC performance, especially outdoors?
Thomas: Festival style shows are always a blast! The crowds are always loud and flat out crazy. We feed off that, so expect a high octane performance!
Angela: Whom are you most excited to see perform at Band Camp on the stages? Also, have you met or toured with any of the other bands playing that day?
Thomas: I've heard nothing but good things about 5FDP, and we've all been listening to Clutch for years. Personally I think I'm most excited to see Volbeat; I love their style! We just finished a nation wide tour with Saving Abel, and we’ve played with All That Remains and Pop Evil several times. We are actually getting ready to begin a tour with Burn Halo and Egypt Central.

Angela: What has been the craziest experience you guys have had at an outdoor show in your career?
Thomas: Outdoor shows are just crazy in general! They seem to be the most opportune time for "technical difficulties.” The craziest thing I've seen would have to be Rockfest 2010 in KC. That festival is held in a park, and it had been raining for 3 days. Sixty thousand “mud people” took over for the day, throwing mud and sliding down hills. It was one hell of a day, but it showed how “die-hard” rock n roll fans can be!
Angela: You come from a tough background of shaggin wagons and green lanterns as your transport on a tour and now things are less difficult and improving for the band; any words of advice for young musicians?
Thomas: Do what you have to do! If we gave up because the rides were uncomfortable, we'd never have made it out of the garage!
Angela: Are any of you endorsed and by whom?
Thomas: Mike, our drummer, is endorsed by Mienl cymbals. Other than that, we're working on a Jack Daniels endorsement.
Angela: Last words....are there any unsigned bands out there you wish to give a plug for here? Go ahead and shamelessly promote them!
Thomas: A band from Kansas City that has caught our attention lately is The Beautiful Bodies. They're a unique bunch that I don't expect to be unsigned for long. Another band that isn't unsigned, but isn’t really well-known is the band, Karnivool. Amazing talent.
