SNQLX: For those just discovering you—how would you describe the difference between Caitlin Edwards the solo artist and Caitlin Edwards from Bumsy and the Moochers?

CAITLIN: My solo band is more punk, pop punk, surf. Where Bumsy is more ska, punk, and funk. My solo band also has less people and no horns. But I think anyone would like either band.
