As I read their Wikipedia page I noticed that Dexter Holland (lead singer) has a PhD in Molecular Biology. Then I remembered that Greg Gaffin (lead singer) of Bad Religion has a PhD in Zoology.

I have no clue for music, but this reminds me of how people who work in animation tend to have masters and doctorates. The reason for that is because these people worked on creating animation software, something that needs computer scientists and mathematicians, and then transitioned into being animators.
Maybe people who spend a lot of time studying social and political science end up picking up a guitar?
