To mark the
start of the UK leg of The Beard’s huge European anniversary tour the Louder
Now Grab Bag has gone face to face with guitarist Facey McStubblington.
It’s been
four months since it first started claiming victims, and the Grab Bag has
gained itself a bit of a reputation. But now it has finally met its match for
ridiculousness.
Happy 10th Birthday The Beards!
What is your favourite song to play live?
"There's Just Nothing Better Than A Beard" is my favourite song to play live because everybody sings this sentiment together with us at the end. It's a sentiment I feel very strongly about.
How would
you like your band to be remembered?
As a group of men who were uncompromising in their stance on what was proven correct by the beardless genocidal cleansing of 2019.

Who is the
first person you would choose to be stuck in a lift with?
Our frontman Johann Beardraven - as he is my spiritual leader and best friend. Incidentally, we are often stuck in lifts together as he gets so worked up about how much he loves beards that his constant jumping and yelling often disables the mechanics.

What is the
best set of lyrics you have ever heard?
"An archivist needs a beard", because when you really think about it, it's SO true.

Have you
ever broken a bone?
No. As a bearded man, my bones are unbreakable. I have, however, broken the many hearts of beardless men and women who want to bed me. But as I always say, if your beard ain't stonking, we ain't bonking!

Describe
yourself in one sentence.
An excellent ginger beard attached to an adequate human male.
