Teenage RehabTommy Habit is the bass player of Teenage Rehab. Teenage Rehab have 3 full length albums, a 5 song EP, a 4 song 7” single and have traveled coast to coast pumping out Punk Rock in a frenzy. Thomas has started a Screen printing business and I was lucky enough to catch up with him during his busy schedule to ask a few questions.
David: Thomas I know you’ve been all over the United States with Teenage Rehab. What’s been happening with you guys?
Tommy: “We are starting to put a new album together. We’ve been playing on the new Queers album at Loud and Clear Studios. I played 3 songs on bass, Alex did all the drums, and Danny got to play Guitar on 1 track. And August 30th, 2010 we are going to be on Rob Dyrdek Fantasy Factory on MTV”.
David: Tell me what bands you are into on the Punk Rock scene.
Tommy: “Right now I’m listening to The Spears, Flat Stanley, and No Loves. It’s the whole Florida scene which we seem to be doing really good in.”
David: I also know that you have started your own Screen Printing Business. Can you tell me about it?
Tommy: “It’s a small business which I started and do stuff mostly for Bands. It’s just me, one guy right now, and it’s called Rock Steady Screen Printing”.
David: What prompted you to go into business for yourself?
Tommy: “I worked 10 years for a Screen Printing shop and decided to go on my own. I wanted the freedom to work for myself and not the man. I wanted the freedom to play my music and go on tour when I wanted. That’s why it’s on my terms and I can choose when to do it. And that’s why it’s bands that I do stuff for”.
David: I gotta ask you, what’s your favorite comic strip?
Thomas: I would have to say “The Farside”. I always loved that! I know it’s a one panel strip but it always cracked me up!
David: Me too! Gary Larson is a Genius!
Well Thomas, it is always cool to see you and I can’t wait to hear the new album. And good luck with Rock Steady Printing. Check out Teenage Rehabs website:
