What can you tell us about your latest self-titled EP, and also, how do you think it compares to your releases prior to it? The latest EP was closer to the sound I was going for in the very beginning. It was produced by Damien Starkey (Puddle of Mudd). We must have listened to the Foo Fighters recent album "Wasting Light" about a hundred times. So much so that when we got writers block we would simply ask each other, "What would Grohl do?".
How did you end up working with Damien Starkey on your latest EP? Damien really wanted us to focus on simplicity and hooks. He really made sure that our chorus melodies were more anthemic than ever before.
How hard or easy is it to do something like this, as well as being an actor? The most challenging thing to coordinate is my schedule between the two careers. In the last five years I've shot eleven films, recorded four albums and played over 350 concerts. I've also been married and had a son that's almost a year old. So all in all, I'm doing pretty good at balancing everything.
So you recently filmed American Pie Reunion, what was it like to be back on the set after all these years with your co-stars, and how was this whole experience for you? It was great to work with everyone again. We had so much fun and even though I felt so much more mature in my own life, as soon as we all got together I soon realized that I was actually more immature than ever. We were all focused on making the best sequel possible. I'm so glad that people enjoyed the film.
Can you share with us one of your funniest moments from your time filming the American Pie franchise over the years? As a practical joke one day on the set of American Pie 2, I worked as a crew member called incognito. It took the rest of the cast and crew at least 3 hours to figure out who I was. It was sort of my Andy Kaufman moment.
