How did you form?
“We formed pretty gradually, just through Craigslist ads, music store flyers, and the recommendations of friends.”
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
“For me, the best part so far has just been spending any extended amount of time on the road with these guys. I’ve got a lot of places I still want to see, and there’s no way I’d rather experience it than bumming around with my best friends, playing songs that mean the world to us.”
Why should people listen to you? What makes you different?
“I couldn’t tell you an answer to that. Everybody has biases, and some people will like our music while others won’t. And that’s fine. I can say that I, personally, hold a strong sentiment toward our music because the lyrics are typically drawn from a perspective of reflection and self-improvement, which are spiritual skills I deem essential in such an egocentric world and have always looked to music to help me learn. Not to mention, the creativity and musical talent of the other guys in the band far exceeds any project of which I’ve ever been a part. They’re a constant inspiration to me and never cease to push my own ambitions.”
