“And then, you know, a lot of the stuff that we grew up on at that time is a lot of the spandex, pretty hairdo type things, and we always thought you had to be someone special to put out a record or something. You know? So here punk rock started, so we’d do it ourselves. We’ll make our own records, and that’s exactly what we did. You know? And we built our own followings and everything. We even blazed our own tour routes across the whole United States that we used for, like, eighteen years, and we just did everything ourselves.” — Vex Billingsgate & George Hurley (Suburban John), Poorman's 15 Minutes of Fame interview

“I am a solo artist too, and I’ve made a couple of records and, you know, it released to crickets, but you know, it’s like, if you could get some of your listeners and guide them towards my records, they’re, of course, on streaming, you know. And my first record is called Song About Songs, and it’s produced by a guy named Gus Seyffert and some great musicians on it. Gus played with, Roger Waters (Pink Floyd). He played bass with Roger Waters. And the second record that I just made is called Californias Burning. It has nothing to do with the wildfires, but serendipitously it actually, yeah. And this is nothing like Circle Jerks. No. It’s if think about the Circle Jerks and then imagine the polar opposite of the Circle Jerks.” —Zander Schloss, Poorman's 15 Minutes of Fame interview
