Artist Interviews Art Brut
Eddie Argos will always let you know what’s on his mind. Throw on any of Art Brut’s first 3 albums, or visit his Twitter page, and take in an endless slurry of his thoughts as they come to him.

CHIRP’s own Blake Burkhart had a chance to talk with Eddie about lyrics, tweets and comics.
