When you write songs, you're writing little bits here, little bits there.

These songs have definitely pushed all of our abilities. I felt like we had to find something that would make people listen to the songs more and not focus on the 'sound.

I feel like I can be a frontman; I feel like I have good songs.

When they write a bad review, and you agree with it, that's the worst feeling. When you know you've done what you wanted and the best you could and you love the outcome, then you look at everything differently. Not everyone's going to love everything you do.

I feel like I always describe myself as a late bloomer. My first album, in my mind, was that I had a few songs I needed to take from incomplete demos to working with someone else and finishing them.

Sometimes you wanna be James Bond, and sometimes you wanna be Marlon Brando until you realize you can't be either!
