It's probably a combination of personal and non-personal matters that have led us to where we are musically.

I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I've only really gotten into them as an adult.

Composing is what I love most from what I do. Each genre has a unique expression that you cannot supplant with another. All the records co-inspire each other though they are not tied conceptually in any way to another.

People always ask me 'do you think there should be more bands doing political music?' and I say 'absolutely not.'

Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive.

I don't find most people to be as politically engaged as I am. I do find people that appreciate eye-opening events and words, and who want to learn more about what's going on. I do find people with a lot of opinions. And I get a lot of people who come up to me and give us props for what we do.

The most important thing about music that I've learned after all this time is that to me, it's a way of reaching the truth.
