Altsounds: Explain your band name
Houston Calls: It really has no meaning. It came from putting words together on the back of an Apollo 13 DVD.

Altsounds: For someone who doesn't know who you guys are describe your sound in 3 words
Houston Calls: Power, Slob, Grunge

Altsounds: I can play the saw. Do you play any obscure instruments?
Houston Calls: No, I wish i did though!

Altsounds: What do you enjoy most about touring in the UK?
Houston Calls: The kids hang out a lot in the UK post shows. Everyone is really into it and not as concerned with bright colors.

Altsounds: Have you picked up any slang you really like to use when over here?
Houston Calls: Instead of very good i like "well good." Mate, Cheers, cor blimey, stuff like that is classic and awesome.

Altsounds: Do you think you bring something different to the pop-punk table compared to most other bands?
Houston Calls: Yeah we have an asian AND an african american in our band. how's that for diversity. Plus we bring a different attitude that most people don't possess anymore.

Altsounds: Are there any on tour rituals like not shaving for the entire tour etc?
Houston Calls: Jarrett attempted to eat kebabs everyday on our last tour in the UK.

Altsounds: If you could be in any other band which would it be?
Houston Calls: Green Day

Altsounds: What was on your Ipod before you turned it off?
Houston Calls: Screeching Weasel

Altsounds: Whats next for Houston Calls?
Houston Calls: Tons of touring to spread the word about the new album. We can't wait! See you all in the UK!

Houston Calls are touring the UK in October with Farewell and Youmeatsix so they are more than likely coming to your town. Make sure when they are you go check them out. Whilst you wait, check out their Myspazz here:
