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.

Hopefully people can look at our band and see that we're a heavy rock band. We're definitely not a metal band, but we're a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.

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

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

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.

Whether you like another bands music or not you never know who is going to take you out on tour or who you are going to be friends with and that is just something that is important to us.
