1. Who are some of you main influences musically and/or vocally?
GTR- Ritchie Blackmore, Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck
VOX- Chris Cornell, Dio, Ian Gillian, Axl Rose
2. Where did the name Joetown come from?
It was the name of my studio, then people just started calling me that. I stopped fighting it and hence the artist name. Hell, you gotta have one name to be huge— Bono, Prince, Madonna….. 
3. What are your feelings on the end product of Pills and Ammo?
GREAT!! Very proud of it. Soon I’ll be offering 2 more tunes from the same sessions via download that didn’t make the CD. Not that they didn’t hold up — they just didn’t get finished.
4. What went into writing the lyrics for the album?
DIVORCE, FAILURE, TRAVEL, DRUGS…pretty standard stuff.
5. Is there an advantage to producing your record on your own label versus releasing it on a different label?
Yeah…I do what I want , when I want. No suits to 2nd guess art from a business angle… the downside is I have to pay for everything.
6. How would you compare Pills and Ammo to past albums and projects you been involved with?
HEAVIER. A lot of what I’ve done in the past has been a bit more “party-fun” than this. This is a dark record.
7. What does the future hold for Joetown?
West Coast Tour in early 2009! Then Germany…then who knows… “The Devil laughs at those who make plans”
8. Any advice or tips for aspiring Rock bands/musicians?
TAKE SONGWRITING THE MOST SERIOUS!!! Little else matters.
