Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.

If there's ever a kid out there that can't afford to buy the music, I still want them to hear it, and hopefully they'll go to the show, or buy a T-shirt from the band. That's the idea.

Rastafarianism and reggae music have always kind of resonated with me. Those ideas of redemption, liberation and overcoming oppression through music, weed and community. Fighting evil through love and music, I think it's just a really powerful idea.

There's a major underlying idea as you grow up that you need to just save your money and get that affordable housing at the edge of town where you're away from the city where all the crime happens or whatever.

i keep drinking the ink from my pen and i'm balancing history books up on my head but it all boils down to one quotable phrase if you love something give it away

We, the Desaparecidos, are perfectly prepared for people to hate what we're saying or not like what we're saying.

I think our music is more about seeing ourselves in each other and trying to find a more humanistic viewpoint for the world.
