We here at AP know you internet denizens love lists. And we know that folks in bands have other interests beyond cranking out decibels. So here’s Friday Fives, a column that solicits a list of five subjects from a number of various rockers.
ALEX KOEHLER, frontman for seething metalcore squadron CHELSEA GRIN, explains his list to us, thusly: “We're getting ready for tour, so I figured I'd make a list of five tour essentials.”
Wet Wipes
Just in case you go a while without a shower, they make you feel a tad bit cleaner.
Underwear
Nothing is worse than dirty underwear on tour.
Fresh threads
You gotta dress to impress.
Laptop
I would literally go crazy without it. It provides many ways to subdue the boredom.
Monster energy drink
Sometimes you just really need a boost.
