You only live once, life is really short.. don't let anything minuscule like that keep you down. Keep your head up.

In 2008, we had barely put our first album out and a lot of people were unsure about us on that tour. But the crowds were insane to say the least.

With our last album ("No Time To Bleed"), we recorded most of it in New Jersey. And with being on the road 9 months a year, recording an album on the other side of the country- it just wasn't a good experience for us. All I wanted to do was go home and see my daughter, so for us to only be a couple hours away was huge- I could go home if I needed to.

I think with a lot of producers, they think computers can create the best drum track, or guitar track and it comes off as too artificial.

Keep listening to music, it gets you through everything. I promise.

So many bands write about the same s - . It gets real boring after a while.
