“I think that we just take our time with everything. We don't feel that there's a rush to become something that we're not yet. We like to really feel things out and know what we're doing. We hadn't ever really played a lot of shows live after we released our EP, and that's when we started doing it - we started playing out live consistently right after we released our EP and we got a new drummer because Shannyn [Sossamon] had quit.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsShowsQuittingOur TimeConsistentlyDrummer Author:Theresa Wayman

“I think the best thing about music is that someone could be writing a song that's so personal, and it tells so many other people's story at the same time. It kind of exemplifies that we are all kind of on the same wave[length] - it's amazing how comforting somebody else's story can be, because we have experienced their story in some way or another, and I can totally relate, and I get to feel that feeling and the expression of that emotion. I get to feel like as a listener, that somebody understands me, which is pretty incredible.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsWritingKindI CanStoriesFeelingsSongEmotionExpressionMusic IsIncrediblesWaveAll KindsRelateBest ThingsLengthListenersComfortingUnderstand Me Author:Theresa Wayman

“I can say is our point of reference - and I think that does make us different from some bands and similar to other bands too. But it's just that spirit - it's sort of like a punk spirit - but it's not punk meaning or as in like "I'm here and I'm going to get thrashy and bloody on-stage" - but, we're not going to listen to the rules and the roles already set in place. We just want to make music that is heartfelt and feels good and sounds good to our ears, and hopefully to many other's ears as well.” ThinkingWantFeelsWellsDoeI CanDifferentSpiritSoundRolesStageBandEarsFeel GoodHopefullyPunkBloodyHeartfelt Author:Theresa Wayman
