careful challenge constantly feet kinds last maintain music road rules trying
I'm just getting my feet back on the ground. When you're constantly on the road it rules you, and if you're not careful it can take over. The last year, there was a lot of confusion. The challenge is trying to keep it together, having all your friends be in different kinds of bands, trying to maintain those friendships, and keep the music honest.

What would I say about "Heaven Without a Gun"?

We didn't know what we were getting into.

Being off the road is one of the greatest things ever. It's hard for me to be around my friends who are on the road.
