“Fans are the main thing that keep us doing what we do. Touring
can break you down at times, but fans make it worthwhile.”

What do you think of bands that don’t communicate with their fans ?
I think communicating with fans is one of the most important factors to drawing kids to a show and keeping their loyalty. Bands that don’t maintain that connection with fans are probably going to lose a lot because fans are like our fuel. They keep us going. They always give so we always give back. Without that relationship, being in a band wouldn’t be as fun.

The first thoughts running through your mind right when you’re about to go on ?
Greg: I am always pumped up to play. Of course, I am always thinking about playing perfect and rocking out really hard. But mostly I’m just thinking about having a good time.

Anissa & Alexia, what are the most annoying things that the boys always do on tour ?
The guys in the band aren’t annoying at all! I think we all have our own silly habits like leaving clothes everywhere, chewing too obnoxiously, farting too much, complaining, haha. Touring is like going on a long road trip with siblings. Any one is bound to get a little irritated but we never get too bothered of each other.

Boys, same question but for Anissa & Alexia.
The girls are really easy to get along with… The only thing that bothers me is that they have the bladders of old ladies, and I kid you not, I have to pull over every half an hour sometimes so they can go to the bathroom ha. That and they have makeup and more clothes than most of us guys so that’s just more stuff that takes up van space. We have been together for so long that we know how to avoid getting on each other’s nerves.

What happened when you were offered to be signed by BreakSilence/Koch records ?
Greg: We had a connection with the record label Sub Noize. After shopping our band to labels and not getting any real good offers, Sub Noize gave us one. Breaksilence is just a imprint label and is funded by Sub Noize. It is a great label and we are stoked to be working with them.

What makes your fans the greatest ?
Our fans rock because they support us like no other… we have been touring for years and some of the same people keep coming to our shows regardless of who else is playing or how big/small the show is. Fans are the main thing that keep us doing what we do. Touring can break you down at times, but fans make it worthwhile.

When you’re on the road for hours, what do you do besides sleep and eat ?
Well other than sleep and eat we basically just hang out. We drive A LOT, write music, watch movies, draw, read, play video games. Anything to save us from boredom.

You all picked up your first instruments at what age ?
Alexia: I first started playing guitar when I was 13 in 8th grade. My mom wouldn’t let me learn at first because I usually quit every team I played in and I quit clarinet when I was 11. But I had a class that required us to pick up a hobby and study it so she had to buy me a guitar because that’s the only thing I wanted to learn for so long.

Caleb, Greg, Brandon, who in the world does your hair? Oh, and, boxers or briefs?
Brandon: I speak on behalf of all the guys when i say briefs over boxers ha. As far as the hair, we all pretty much do it ourselves or have the girls help us out. We can’t afford real haircuts more than like once a year.

What was the worst show you ever played and what exactly went wrong ?
Hah, well there are so many technical difficulties we have had at sooo many shows I can’t say there is one that stands out. We try to have fun anyways when things aren’t going our way. My least favorite shows are the ones where no matter what i say and how much i try people just sit around and stare. We don’t have those very often but we have had a few and it’s just weird. I mean, you pay money to come to a show so why not at least pretend to have fun?
