Description
NME's Mike and Peter Skilj aren't afraid to take on anyone and everyone, including each other. The San Jose punk band has been around since the mid-nineties, with members coming and going, but the heart of the group has always been the Skilj twins. With a new album out and another almost finished, NME has made a name for themselves as brash, intelligent, uncompromising and a lot of fun to see live. But with songs like "Bin Laden Airlines" and "Bombs Not Food," Peters know most people will jump to conclusions. "Lyrically and musically, we never had a seriously tone to the music until now," Peter says. "Bin Laden Airlines' is a mixture of both. Like another song, 'Bombs Not Food.' If you actually listen to the lyrics, we're not making fun of Food Not Bombs." All in all, it's about being true to yourself and everyone around you. "Being sincere. That's what success is," Mike says. "If you're truthful about things, then say it. I know not everyone is going to love us. We're not going to be a multi-platinum band, there's no doubt about that. We don't care about that crap anyway." - Beau Dowling sanjose.comMore Info
