Papa J: Rose how have things been going with you since the last time we had a interview? At that time, you were still looking for a band. Now I see that you're in ANTI-HERO, how did it all come together?
Rose Perry: Jesse Tomes (lead guitarist) and I (lead vox, songwriter, guitarist) have known each other for a few years and throughout our relationship, we had witnessed all the drama from both of our previous bands, Eliminate the Body, and HER, as well, we developed a mutual respect for each other as musicians.
