I think that every band tries to mature their sound through their existence, you know?

We just wanted to get as far away from the rap-rock scene as possible, because its been done and other bands do it better than us anyway.

You don't want the biggest record deal as far as money goes, you just want to make sure that the people at the label really support your band and the music and stuff.

A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.

Lyrically we tried to just not be the same as a lot of the other crap that is out there right now.

You have to make sure that your assets and your back is protected before you make any big decisions.
