We had an EP out and all of a sudden we find record companies are interested in us, and we're thinking, 'Oh, that's really nice, but we don't think we're ready for it.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't know what they're thinking about. Just because someone says, 'I like what you do' or something: They might like it today and tomorrow they might not. I've had that experience with record companies.
We went into that knowing that we were never going to sell a major record 'cause we didn't sound like these bands, so I just thought this was an opportunity for us to make the kind of records that we wanted and make some money at the same time.
We're probably doing better business than we thought we would do especially considering the disappointing way the record company has handled the album.
I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.
A development deal is where they're giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they'll put an album out.
You're just so excited that you have this record deal or this movie opportunity that you don't stand up for yourself and say, This is what I want to do.
I think the music business is probably not happy with what we've done, because the people buying the record have actually got to pick what they want to buy, rather than being told what they should buy.
But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.
Music is my main goal, but I'm not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don't want to do it because it's the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right.
We just finished making a record. Everybody wants to play shows, so we're going to after that.
