This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply. As part of my scene history restoration project, I’ve brought back a variety of historical AbsolutePunk.net interviews. Patrick Stump of Fall Out BoyMark Hoppus of +44Ryan Ross of Panic! at the DiscoParamoreMatt Watts of The Starting Line I’ll update this post as I revive various other artifacts. more Not all embedded content is displayed here.

All of these are such a blast from the past. I can remember where I was reading some of these. The Andrew McMahon one reminded me of the I Will Fight rubber bracelets AP.net made- I was crushed when mine snapped years later.
@Jason Tate This is really cool. I recall us discussing the reasons that you couldn't keep the old site as-is, so it's cool that you were still able to pull some of the content from it. The more the merrier! Like the walks down memory lane. Is there a place that all this is aggregated? Some kind of tag or something that we can use to find all of the restored content?
@Jason Tate Would you be able to publish the interview with Matty Healy? That interview was responsible for broadening my music tastes, I'd love to read it again.
I'll be bringing back what I can reconstruct or find. I am not sure of everything on there yet. This post will be updated with the interviews. The absolutepunk tag has this post, and Craig and Drew's review posts: AbsolutePunk.net • chorus.fm
Today's update: Kaylan Cloyd of Acceptance Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio Jimmy Eat World Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance Andrew Everding of Thursday Geoff Rickly of Thursday
It’s on all the articles themselves, just like current ones, they were moved to their actual date of publication. Next to the author byline.
It was two parts at the time too. Crazy long one. (There’s a bug on the site I need to fix but hovering over the date on desktop will give you the full date and post time once I fix it.)
Nice! Actually re-reading and remembering this stuff is so crazy. I'm nearly 30 and I've literally been reading/posting on your sites for more than half my life. Re-reading the FAD review. For some reason, I thought you wrote that back in the day but I definitely don't remember this being your style haha:
Heh yeah I didn’t write that one. Tony did. Anything I wrote I kept under my byline (same with other people still around on staff).
