I'm from San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, CA, about thirty minutes from Huntington Beach wherethe guys in A7X live. I'm a fan! I was working at a medical office or urgent care in their town and Matt's wife Valerie was the first person to tell me about A7X, I never heard of them before that. Eventually I had the honor of meeting Matt, Johnny, and Michelle. I did put Syn in a patient room like a year before that but I didn't know about the band then. I remember asking him if he's in a band and he said no. I think it was 2010. I asked him what the letters on his hands say and he held up both fists so I can read M-A-R-L-B-O-R-O. I think I said something stupid like, "I use to smoke Marlboro". I LOVE THE BAND AND THEIR MUSIC!!
