american-musician listening metal past radio rap since stuff touring
At least the rap metal stuff is good, but it's not really my bag. I've been listening to the radio since we've been touring the past month, because we don't get it most of the time.
american-musician good played
I think any band we played with would be a weird match. We're on our own, a little out there, but it's a good thing. I think we're complimentary to each other.
american-musician people record
I didn't want the record to be cold and I don't think it's cold at all. I felt it was very people oriented.
american-musician gone pop remember rock
Back then, I remember there was a lot of alternative pop going on - that slow, weak, kind of apathetic independent rock stuff, but that's gone now.
american-musician
I wanted to do that again but, when I went to look for chants, I didn't want to do it in the exact same way.
american-musician dwelling escape music negativity starts
Sometimes music is an escape from things, from the way you feel. It's cathartic. Dwelling in the negativity all the time, it starts to not be real.
american-musician band biggest last seem seems starting
It doesn't really seem any different anywhere. I'd say it seems like we're biggest in Australia. It's just that we've always been this underground band and for some reason in the last month has been starting to go overground.
american-musician bring decided rest
I thought I wanted to give it a rest on this record, or bring it back in a different way, and I consciously decided to take a rest on the samples.
american-musician connecting definitely music reactions seems
It definitely seems like we are connecting with people, which is nice, because I've had a lot of music do the same for me. It's not like I don't I understand why we get the reactions we do.
american-musician coming confusing exact felt people
I think it would be very scary and very confusing if I didn't understand where people are coming from, but I've felt the exact same way for so many other bands, growing up. It's not really a big deal.
american-musician breeds longing saying
'Free' is more of that 'familiarity breeds contempt' kind of thing. It's about saying 'Wait, I'm longing for something more than I have and I don't know what it is that I want, but I know I want it.' It has nothing to do with what I'm going through, personally.
american-musician minded open past studied
I'm still open minded but I haven't really studied too much in the past two years. That hasn't been really where my mind has been.
trust-no-one way bees
I don't trust the Bee Gee's because there's no way they could always be happy.
nice people giving
It's a very nice thing to be able to give joy to people.
