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 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 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 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.
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 front people shows
We used to go and play shows in the south in front of two people and now every show we did was just great. The warm-ups, most of those weren't even advertised and most of them were sold out. I don't know what's going on, it's just so much different than it used to be.
american-musician huge mainstream type
We're making this huge changeover from underground to more mainstream audiences. I don't know if we could ever repeat this type of feeling. We're really excited.
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 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.
added american-musician came eight happened months number single took
We were number one most added at radio, when the single came out and that's much different. It took like eight months for any radio to happen on the first record, so a lot more support has happened right out of the box.
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 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.
