I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.

The music has had a certain quality that people like just because it's a real true expression of how we are as musicians.

Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.

For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that's about it.

I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

So, I just kind of played the way I played and then eventually we kind of figured out what worked best for the band. So, I definitely changed my stuff up and I think we're playing really tight now.
