1- Which are your expectations on the release of "Tell all your friends"?

I just hope that kids like it and can relate to what we are saying. i
really couldnt' ask for anything more.


2- Why did you choose producer Sal Villanueva and engineer Tim Gilles to
work on your record?


they are the most underrated team ever. everything that they get their
hands on comes out of their studio sounding like gold.


3- Which is the most important feature of your music: melody, power or
hooks?


sounds like you've got us figured out...hehe. it's all equally important,
there wouldnt be a use for one with out the other.


4- How did the music of the band change when Adam took the vocal place
and with the addition of Shaun on bass?


well, this is adam by the way, i was playing bass and shaun is a million
times better player than i am. so in that aspect we got alot tighter rythm
wise. as for the vocals, when i took over vocals john and i agreed that we
would work together rather than having just one person in charge of that
aspect of the band. it turned out good.


5- What are the lyrics in "Tell all your friends" about?

everything from friends to relationships to realizing that evrything is
not always going to work otu as planned...it's abotu everyday life really.


6- How is the deal with Victory Records?

they rule and take very good care of us. it's like having an army of your
good friends working on your record. it great.


7- Which are the band main influences?

we all listen to such diverse stuff that's it's hard to pin point a few specifics.


8- How was Ed´s participation on Inside and Movielife?

how was it? good i guess. he left inside on good terms and we play with
inside's new bands blood red and dearly departed. he kinda serves as a
punching bag for the movielife. why? we can't quite figure out. it's a
shame cuz there a great band. but whatever, save the drama for your mama you know.


9- Are you planning a tour to support "Tell all your friends"?

hell yeah, non stop touring.
