We're going to sing about things that matter to us. The balancing act is to present these ideas but also make the music exciting and sort of fun enough that even if you're not paying attention to the lyrics, you might still like the songs anyway. That's the idea.

I think different musical collaborators bring out different qualities in my songs and I like that.

Sometimes I daydream about having a farm and a wife and some babies and watching the grass grow, but you have to meet the right person for that.

Screaming is bad for the voice, but it's good for the heart.

I love story songs. It's just, for me, they're harder to write, and sometimes they sound too intended or something.

There's a very fine line between one person's reality and another person's fantasy.

Maybe there's a different story when it comes to hip-hop or different genres, but as far as rock music goes, I think there is a sort of fear of saying things people might be apt to criticize. Our band is the opposite of that.
