We really try to make sure that the band writes the songs, not just one person.
Everything is completely democratic in this band so far and that is the way that we would like to keep it.
I really didn't think about song writing.
We knew that we wanted to play heavy music but I hadn't gotten into melody and things like that.
A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.
Musicians don't respect a lot of the stuff that is on TRL and a lot of musicians think that stuff on the radio is not good musically so when musicians say that they like us it obviously feels good.
