Q&A: Chris #2 // Jimmy Stadt
Plastered next to other summer tours/festivals, the Vans Warped Tour is one of the few events that takes artists from the edges of one vast section of music and tightens the bonds between them. Bred from two very different scenes in both Pittsburgh and New York, ANTI-FLAG’s CHRIS #2 and POLAR BEAR CLUB’s JIMMY STADT share similar idealogies which they expressed during our meet with them at the Toronto stop.
