I'm in this band to give volume to various struggles throughout the world. To me, the tension in this band is a minimal sacrifice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything is a battle with this band.
Sometimes I don't want to be in the confines of what a band seems to provide.
I just feel like bands always need to work harder than the hardest working band. You need to constantly be one-upping yourself and surprising yourself at how hard that you'll work and devote yourself to your craft.
Any band that is out there chasing it is doing more destruction to music then someone who is out there playing what they truly feel.
Trying to write music, be in a band and keep it all happening is one of the hardest, morale-destroying, heartbreaking things you will ever try to do - and that's when it's going well.
We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.
I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.
Playing for someone else's crowd is always difficult for any band.
We manage to bounce ideas off one another. Every band fights, but at the end of the day, we're very positive about the way we fight. At least we come out with a result.
Music is like a huge release of tension.
