I think that talent, good songwriting and passion, will always outlast hype.

Social networking, I believe, has completely changed the relationship between band-members and fans.

Traveling takes a lot out of you.

The only person thats gonna hold you back is yourself

Fans these days seem to almost expect a response from band-members any time they tweet or leave a comment etc.

I think it's important to have a consistent communication with the fans but I don't think it should be expected.

For me personally, Blink-182 has been a big influence. Just seeing them way back in the day play little shows and start from a garage band to where they are now, makes me believe anything is possible if you truly want it and commit your life to it.
