Interview – Only Crime “New Album, New Label, and Gearing up To Hit the Road”

Interview with Russ Rankin

With well over 20 years clocked in “Good Riddance”, a well received solo record in 2012, two previous Only Crime records, as well as a day job with Apple and  time spent as a hockey scout, Russ Rankin is a guy who keeps busy no matter what he’s doing. Now with a new Only Crime album (the first in seven years) on the horizon and an upcoming European tour, we caught up with Russ to discuss Only Crime’s creative process, the jazz influence and how he feels when people refer to the band as a ‘punk rock supergroup.’ READ FULL INTERVIEW READ FULL INTERVIEW on pg. 48 Vandala Magazine OR CLICK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
