“I was real into Devo, Pavement, Captain Beefheart, and the Jon Spencer...” — Patrick Carney Quote

“I was real into Devo, Pavement, Captain Beefheart, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.”

“I'm friends with Dierks Bentley. Aside from that, I don't really know anybody else in the country music field, really. I've met the Lady Antebellum people and I met Marty Stuart briefly once. He's really nice, but I don't know any of them, really.”

“There is so much good music in the U.S. and there is just a small section that gets recognised at the Grammys.”

“The thing with me is, about that - about rock and all that - years and years of crate-digging, listening to old music, you kind of start to connect the dots. And I was seeing the thread that was connecting everything together, which is pretty much the blues. And everything soul or funk kind of starts with that.”

“I guess I would call my music 'blues punk.' There's a lot of influences.”

“Of all the songs we played, 'Statesboro Blues' was the most ripped-off.”
