Aaron: It's been pretty easy, we went through some rough times at the beginning, but we're so close as friends and we've been friends for so long. We live so close together, we've grown up together so there's no real fighting. It hasn't been hard to keep everyone in. It's been pretty solid. The other members, the rotators, were fun when they came in but it always came back to the core. No one ever really fit in with the gang.

Aaron: Not really, we didn't really need them in the end. We wanted to try some new stuff out, at one point we had two drummers. We thought about it for a while, but then thought 'why the fuck are we doing this? There's no need for two drummers in this band'. We were going through a phase I guess. We wanted something more out of the songs we had so we tried to bring in members when we should have just written better songs.

Aaron: There's not really much of a music scene in East York, not that many other bands that we hung around with when we were growing up. Now we're discovering a lot of bands, but growing up there was no real scene, we didn't really have an influence. It was just - everyone once and a while we'd truck it downtown for a show. It definitely affected the music.

Aaron: Yeah, I would definitely say it does. It's more of a looking in for sure, the way that Brendon writes the songs and comes off. He always talks about childhood and growing up in East York and growing up in government housing around everywhere. It's a weird but really awesome area at the same time.

Josh: Brendon's a songwriter, so it's his life, childhood and tribulations.

Aaron: This whole album is basically our memories from the last four years really, and our experiences.

Aaron: Definitely. The tipping point was when Josh left for a little bit. When he came back it was like a new band. We had new gear, a studio downtown. When we got that studio everything changed and took it into high gear. Once you start practicing every day it changed the band and our outlook on everything, what we're capable of really.

Josh: We decided we just want to get serious, if we're going to do this band thing let's go hardcore at it.

Aaron: Everyone was in, we knew we were lifers, but what the hell are we doing to make it happen. Let's stop talking about it and make it happen. It seemed to come off pretty good once we were at the studio. We met our gang of friends and made our own little scene thing happen and luckily Kevin caught wind of it and signed on.

Aaron: Definitely we're always stoked to share the stage with Dinosaur Bones, the first time we saw them we thought this is great, we have another really cool band we can play with. Also, Boxes and Bags, we're always stoked to see Boxes and Bags. They're pretty much the most exciting one right now, so unpredictable. One night they'll have one set and the next they'll look completely different playing completely different songs.

Josh: Those dudes have been killing it, I love their new songs.

Aaron: I think La Casa Muerte too, I think that's the real core three.

Josh: We did that for a while, we were playing with Boxes and Bags, Dinosaur Bones and that for the last year. Doing show like Elvis Mondays, random fundraisers.

Aaron: Now it's kind of changing, we can't really play whenever we want, just show up at an Elvis Monday. I mean, we can, but we don't.

Josh: We try and do more house parties and stuff with our friends than put on a big show.

Aaron: That was definitely fun, we put that one together so it would be like that.

Josh: We hadn't put on a show in a while, so we said let's do it.

Aaron: Plus we were pretty stoked to get our little crew into Edgefest, so it all worked out.

Aaron: Not really, I mean Brednon writes literally thousands of songs, he literally has The Bible of songs he's been writing for so long.

Josh: But songs we actually jam that he writes, not nearly as many.

Aaron: Brendon has tons of CDs, he records on a bootleg "Bob Barker" microphone on his computer and does it like that. He's constantly pumping out albums and albums and we pluck the best ones out of there and jam to it. Sometimes it doesn't work, but we kind of knew what the album was going to be with a few wildcards.

Josh: We had been playing those songs for a while. So we had these songs, let's record them.

Aaron: It was due, it went by really fast. The recording process was really quick, live from the floor with everyone just jamming. It took about 7 days I think.

Aaron: The album's done, it's coming out August 25th, it's called Girls Come Too. We're stoked, it's done finally after a million mixes and masters.

Aaron: Artwork is the last battle actually. I'm battling through it now to get it done in time to meet the deadline so the album comes out in time. The music is complete, so we're excited. We're already started the next album too now. We figure if we're going to be on the road we might as well take the time we have now to jam and get the core of the new album ready.

Josh: Yeah, we're going to have CDs, vinyl, we've got iTunes going down, other online stuff like that. I'm pretty sure it's coming out all of the places, so it'll be a wild ride. It's very exciting to see what's going to happen next, we've gotten a lot of buzz about the EP.

Aaron: That's a tough one. Basically, one time we replaced Fleet Foxes, they pulled out. Kevin gave us a call two hours before the show and said "leave work and come down to the Phoenix, it's sold out and you're playing tonight." That was sort of our first big taste, playing the Phoenix sold out and not being prepared. Being throw into the shark tank. We didn't know who the Fleet Foxes were at the time. Kevin was saying "y'know just try and sing a lot tonight." And then we found out who they were and heard them...holy shit, this is who we replaced? It was kind of a good thing we didn't know who they were before because that would have been a lot scarier.
