HV: I’ve read that the band name comes from a note scribbled into a used book you found. What book was that?

Matthew: The thing is, I probably would’ve taken care of the book if I had thought it would hold any relevance in my life. I didn’t think it was going to come to define me as much as it has. I thought originally it was in a book called Fuzz Against Junk, which is like a ‘50s Beat poetry book about the heroin train in the ‘50s. But I found that book, and it’s not that one. I think I gave it away to a girl, and I think it was On the Road. I remember at that time that was the book I was obsessed with.
