Ever wonder what president your favorite local band most identifies with? What about guessing what president is most likely to show up in the crowd next week? We know you've been waiting to ask these sizzlers during your next round of "20 questions." Lucky for us, local Boston bands don't shy away from the idea that there is, in fact, a president that best embodies their artistic energy.

Click through and see what these locals have to say, featuring Ben Katzman's Degreaser, Grey Season, Avi Jacob, The Novel Ideas, Skinny Bones, Sports Coach, and Horse Jumper of Love.

Ben Katzman's DeGreaser

[We] will have to go with Martin Van Buren. His name sounds like Eddie Van Halen. It's no secret that the 8th president of the United States doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Van Buren avoided foreign wars, condemned slavery, and was successful in leading a fight to reducing central authority. Martin Van Buren was about peace and chillin' hard. Also did you see his hair cut? It is so sik.

Did you know that Martin Van Buren is 5'6 and a Sagittarius? So sik. Fire signs all the way. He is also the first president to be born in the officially declared United States Of America. He use to chill hard with his homie who helped found the United States aka mister Alexander Hamilton. He ALSO has the same amount of syllables in his name as Eddie Van Halen. So ssik. Did you know Gene Simmons discovered Van Halen?

Cheers to you president number 8. You are a total rad boi.

Grey Season 

Our favorite president is Theodore Roosevelt, because of his vision for National Parks.

President Andrew Jackson best embodies our band because he was a hot-tempered lunatic.

President Rutherford Hayes [would be a fan of Grey Season], because beard.

Avi Jacob

My favorite prez is totally JFK, not only was he a pothead from Boston, but he helped champion civil rights. His death was also super crazy and s an example of how the CIA, Nixon and super elite could do anything they want.

[JFK definitely best embodies me] , because he was struggling inside. He felt that heavy weight of the world on him and wanted to help, and he also had that dark side that could be manipulative and charismatic. I feel like JFK would relate to my songs, because he understood what it's like to try and balance the devil & the angel on your shoulders.

Skinny Bones

Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton [would most likely be a Skinny Bones fan] because they’re still alive.

The Novel Ideas

[We] learned recently that Calvin Coolidge had a morning ritual in which someone rubbed Vaseline on his head while he ate breakfast in bed. So he is our new favorite.

 James plays saxophone so probably Bill Clinton [best embodies us], plus Danny and Sarah are kind of like Bill and Hilary except they love each other.

 [We'd] hope that JFK would have been [a Novel Ideas fan] but probably Van Buren.

Sports Coach

I'd have to say Rutherford B. Hayes embodies my music most bc he had a v good beard which leads me to believe he could prob shred hard on the ball field and I heard he was once part dragon. Just like Sports Coach music.

Horse Jumper of Love

Ronald Reagan, because his crippling economic policies did so much for hardcore and hip hop that he was basically a patron of the arts.
