What are some things that are currently influencing your music? Depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, general confusion, impatience, and a LOT of pent up aggression. We realize that sounds shitty, but also feel that artists create their best works when their dissatisfied.
I noticed you're on tour. What are some of the complexities in putting together a band tour? Well, considering we don’t have a booking agent and are doing this 100% DIY, it’s a LOT of head work. We feel lucky to have so many good friends around the country who play in rad bands and help put together shows. It takes several hours of computer work every day, for months before each tour (booking, promoting, getting merch together etc). Also, financially it’s stressful. It’s hard to find a (good) job, that is understanding of the time off needed to tour. Even then, it’s not like you make a bunch of money on the road (unless you are a huge band). You’re lucky to break even. That being said it’s pretty fucking fun and the only thing we wanna do.
The unique thing about our band: we all still love each other (after creating music and touring in a van together for 5 years). And somehow, writing and playing angry music makes us feel much much better about the world.
