1. Name and role in band:
“My name is Dustin and I play guitar in With The Punches”
 
2. You recently contributed a song for a comp that benefits the Japan tragedy.: How has this affected your band?
“We have a few friends in Japan and we were out with The Wonder Years and Handguns when we heard, it was rough not being able to get ahold of anyone and know for certain if they were alright, luckily I think everyone we know was OK, but when something like that happens you just feel powerless, Soupy put the comp together immediately and really made sure that the proceeds went to a charity that put the money to best use, it was cool seeing how many bands wanted to be involved and how many kids bought it to help the people of Japan, I don’t think there are a lot of scenes where people respond like the pop-punk community does, it’s pretty awesome being a part of it.”
 
3. The sound of WTP has changed since your last ep.: Do you think you’ve grown as a band, or found your way of writting?
“Absolutely, when we made Keep It Going, we hadn’t been a band very long, a lot of those songs were written individually while we were putting the band together, so it wasn’t as much of a group effort. With It’s Not The End Of The World, Sam wrote a lot of the song structures and the five of us worked together to make sure they were where we wanted them to be.”

4. Name 3 things you cannot live without on tour:
“my laptop, my DSi XL, and as much Coca-Cola as I can possibly consume”
 
5. Shameless promotion spotlight….

About

Filthy rich or piss poor, lonely or in love, content or contemptible... there is no such thing as a guarantee. Life moves and changes with and without your approval. We are With The Punches and this almost never happened.

In January of 2009 we released our first EP titled "Keep It Going". We played those songs in any room, basement, school or parking lot we could. Quit our jobs and began touring full time by September of that year.

We started writing and demo recording songs while on the road and at home, all signs pointed to a new album release no later than a year after our first...

SHIT. GOT. REAL. Bad decisions, member changes, scumbag booking agents, and a handful of bullshit excuses brought us up to March 2011 and the release of our 2nd EP "It's Not The End Of The World".

More changes, better decisions, stronger friendships, and more fun. We recorded our debut full length for Doghouse Records which will be released on July 3rd 2012 and we will be touring all summer!
