Are you excited to have the record finally comimg out? What’s next?
Martin: More excited than I could possibly express. We’ve spent the last year and a half writing and perfecting these songs and I can’t wait for everyone to hear them. After its out, we wanna tour it as much as possible and work on getting more new music out as soon as we can.
Liz: You have no idea. These are some seriously wicked songs and I’m incredibly proud of all the hard work that’s been put into making them what they are. We’re gonna try and tour as much as possible for this record and then work on getting new music out asap.
Marcus: It’s taken way too long. This is something I want people to listen to and remember for a while. There’s so much love and pain on this record. I hope it gets received well. Next is (hopefully) more tours and more records. I want people to get excited when they see us coming to their town.
