A Chat with Aidan Hall from Something Else (31.01.19)
Ohio-based alternative pop band, Something Else, recently released an EP and are just about to head off on tour to prove they are something else. Between these mad times, Aidan Hall took some time to answer our writer’s questions. Here are his answers:

OSR: Who are your biggest influences?
AH: My Chemical Romance, Michael Jackson, The Stokes, Green Day, it’s a very long list.
