We were just waiting for everyone else to realize it.
We're not too fond of time off, actually. We're in this band because we like being in it, and time away is good so you don't burn out, but I'll give it two weeks before we want to start working again.
It's so new. We haven't played any of the songs live yet, but there's some really good ideas floating around.
If you have a good idea, you can do it pretty quickly. It doesn't have to cost $1 million, either. Same thing with making records, actually.
You do everything you weren't allowed to do in school. Jumping up and down, screaming, annoying people, and people love you for it.
So many bands are like, 'I'm real because I'm dirty.' If you have money for guitars, you can afford soap.
I don't have to promise myself anything. That's all part of the wonderfulness that is me.
