Brendan Kelly can be called many things but, "unproductive," is not one of them. Kelly has been recording music since the age of 10, touring in bands since high school, appeared on dozens of albums and somewhere found time to graduate college. Now, Kelly leads a bit more formatted lifestyle but has managed to stay productive and connected, first through his blog (The Bad Sandwich Chronicles) and more recently with a short film (The Spirit of Transparency) and the release of his solo debut, I'd Rather Die Than Live Forever. Older, darker and perhaps a bit wiser, Kelly makes a notable departure from the style he popularized with The Lawrence Arms and delves into creepier, more diverse territory.

Somewhere between juggling a million tasks (and two children), Kelly sat down to talk with Punknews Editor Rich Verducci about the new album, what it's like to be a dad and why there are so many dudes jacking off on Chat Roulette.
