It's funny you mention that because this Sunday we are actually playing the Bamboozle Left festival and just got back home from tour with Comeback Kid where we played a bunch of small sweaty club venues. The one thing that definitely makes one unique from the other is the intimacy. At a small club, you’re right in everyone’s faces and almost at the same level as the crowd. If the energy level is high enough, it just becomes one big party and everyone can't help but get involved. What we do love about playing big festivals is the opportunity to reach out to a wider variety of people. The rush of playing in front of thousands is one of those experiences that you cross off your life-long “to do list”. It’s simply epic. We get really stoked on both, but I think in the end, we'll always feel more at home sweating it out in the smaller clubs.

How do you describe your new album to some one who asks?

It hits hard right from the start and takes you for a journey. It has its twists and its turns and encompasses a lot of different feelings, emotions, and experiences. If you like your music loud, fast, heavy, melodic, catchy, and most of all, meaningful and sincere, then I think you'll dig our new record, Framework.

You have a few groups you support. Can you tell me a little about “Be Safe 08”

Haha! That's funny that you bring that up actually because that started off as a joke. Since the youth of today is definitely growing up a little faster than our generation did, more and more kids are getting involved sexually and intimately but aren’t keeping themselves safe. The internet and media today introduce sex and immorality at an early age and there’s no way to stop it. We can only hope that they all make the right choices and stay safe. We just want to raise awareness of safe sex.. BE SAFE 08!
