I can't believe it's been almost a year since I interviewed my favorite band's bassist.
I decided to upload the interview with Brandon Schwartzel on my blog. On my support account on Twitter (@bwandosupport) I got a lot of new followers over the year and they probably haven't seen the interview, so this blog is perfect to share it again.
And I think those who already read it might will like to read it again, too. Oh, and those who don't know Rooney will see how awesome they are. :)
I hope you enjoy.
Feel free to check Rooney out: www.rooney-band.com :)
