Quotes:
First of all, we have a drummer for the whole record. We used a lot of drum machines for EVERYTHING YOU NEED, and I think this record has more of an organic feel. We're evolving as musicians. You just mature as you play together for longer periods. We tried to bring it back to more of the acoustic feel. SKRATCH: CLOSER TO THE SUN is very experimental, as far as the musical aspect. Are there any challenges in making tracks when you bring in and incorporate new sounds and new ideas?

...we'll always be touring, because that's what we've been doing since we got out of high school. That's our livelihood right there. We will also be putting out records every time we get a chance, because we make music like we breathe air. It just doesn't stop.

We feel that there's nothing wrong with smoking the weed. Everywhere we go...We'll get on an airplane, and right before we walk through them doors, we'll sneak a little toke by the trash can, and we'll blow it out right before we walk through the doors. I mean, that's how much we just love our weed.
