And Anyone That Calls Me A Sell-out

Too Many Bands Practice In Their Garage, Play A Couple Of Shows Locally, And Expect Opportunities To Appear From The Sky. Bands Have To Push, Work, Grind, And Struggle To Make It Happen On Their Own.

There's Also This Weirdness To California, This Darkness, It's A Place Where People Come To Follow Their Dreams And Sometimes Don't Make It.

Screw Them. Yeah. But Not Literally. I'm Not Advocating Promiscuity.

I Still Feel Like We're The Underdogs, But I Feel Like People Respect Us Now. People Might Not Like Our Band Or Love Our Music, But I Think People Respect The Fact That We've Been Doing This For Many Years And Are Still Doing It And Still Able To Play Three Giant New York City Shows And Have People Come Out.

Every One Of Those Old Songs Like "what's My Age Again?" And "all The Small Things" Is Like A Tattoo Or A Scrapbook Or An Old Photograph. There Are Just Songs That Define Certain Moments In Your Life. Everyone Has A Song That Got Them Through A Bad Breakup Or They Put On And It Made Them Feel Like They Wanted To Go Out And Kick The World's Ass With Their Friends On A Weekend. Those Songs Still Feel Like That To Me.
