Words matter. These are the best King Tuff Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.

I played with the Lust-Cats once in Denver. I’ve seen Happy Jawbone a bunch of times, but I can’t remember if I played those shows or not.
I love Hanukkah because it’s so weird. You just sit there and light candles and say spells.
Rock and roll music – people want records. For me, it’s the whole thing – the package. I don’t get satisfaction from buying an MP3.
I had just made this album called ‘Mind Blow,’ a CD-R release on Spirit of Orr. This was in 2003. Quite a few of the songs from ‘Was Dead’ were actually on that.
Both labels are super awesome, with super awesome people who want to get stuff done. The biggest difference is that Sub Pop is already established, but working with Burger seems like we’re part of something. They’re growing, and I’m growing with them. They’re my friends, and we’re doing it together.
I find it harder to write the lyrics afterwards because then you’re just trying to fit them into something that’s already there.

I think the key to great art and great artists is to just fully be yourself and not be scared of that, and be the extremes of your personality. Show the extremes of your personality and embrace the imperfections. Embrace the things about yourself that you might not like.

I ended up doing these other diverse things, but King Tuff is the thing I always wanted to come back to – just good, straightforward rock n’ roll. That music is the most me, you know?
You’ve gotta dive into the abyss if you wanna get anything good. Every record, you’ve gotta go down in the abyss and hope that you come out of it alive.
My dad took me and my brother to see Corrosion of Conformity. All I remember was that there was a dude swinging a chain in the mosh pit, and the bouncers were dragging him out.
I like recording by myself wherever I can, just because then I feel like I have ultimate freedom, and I can just control whatever I want to put down. There’s something about going into your own little world.
