The Royal School Series hail from a simpler place where rock is hard, sluts are soft, and drugs and songs are so plentiful you could reach out and pull them from the ether (that you are huffing). Evan Dickson's naive Torawna art-school bullshit splattered feebly against a titanium wall built of the Royal School Series' no-nonsense Hamilton rockitude.

Hi, I'm Evan. And you are...?

The RSS.

Wavelength is on a Sunday, which is traditionally a holy day of rest. What are you going to do about that?

The only good Christian is a dead Christian. I didn't say that.

You recently had shows booked at The Bagel and The Session, both of which are now defunct. What the heck is happening to Toronto? Are The Royal School Series somehow behind it?

It's becoming the new Hamilton. Actually we're in front taking it from behind.

On your website you claim to sacrifice all sleep for the sake of composing new songs. Sleepwalk me through your songwriting process.

All the songs are fuelled by love and hate; mostly started with copious amounts of drugs and random sluts (though not our intentions in the beginning). The basis of our songs are then served fresh then regurgitated and recycled. It's a process resulting in.....ahhh fuck it, this is stupid.

Which came first, the prolific songwriting or the insomnia?

Dude..........

Do you like to swear? I do.

Jag has the potty mouth ask him.

If your band was a random abstract metaphor, what random abstract metaphor would you be?

Dude we're from Hamilton, what are you asking?
