It's the most dangerous world for bands nowadays because everybody's branding and trying to steal your vibe as soon as you do anything that anyone cares about. It's very weird.

All bands are in danger of losing their identity. Constantly.

Art is what gets communicated at a live show, which is why live shows are so amazing. To communicate in a different way is a mixed message. It devalues everything.

Music is about your feelings.

Sometimes, for bands, everything just happens too fast.
