we are leaning more and more towards a DIY type of
model. That’s not to say that we wouldn’t entertain serious offers...
How do you balance your music with other obligations like school, work, or girlfriend?
We’re still trying to balance all of that, it’s really
hard, stressful if you will. Really though, you do everything possible to try and squeeze every part of life that
you can into the day or the week, just so you can hit the
stage because it’s during that 30-45 minutes that basically nothing can touch you.
So that’s about it any last words?

making it big or getting signed. Do you guys have that
dream or do you care if you get a recording contract?
Josh: I think we are all realistic about what making
it big looks like these days. I’d like to tour and get our
music out to as many people as we can. Recording contracts these days really seem like a joke and a rip off, but
we’ll cross that bridge if and when it presents itself.
Dave: Honestly, with the industry being in the state

Jeremy: I dream of making a living at this yeah. I
think its everyones dream to make it big in this industry,
or you wouldn’t be doing it. The industry has changed

girlfriend, sleep is usually the first sacrifice. Personal
time is a close second. As I said before it takes its toll
on your personal life but it’s all worth it when the show
starts. That becomes your personal life. When people
start appreciating what you do it always keeps you focused and motivated.
Stephen: It is very hard to balance family, work, and
band. Without the support of our women and our bosses we couldn’t do what we do. I try to spend as much
time with them when we aren’t playing or practicing
because time is a precious thing. It doesn’t replace the
time away from them; but it does raise the value of the
time that I do have with t
