Brandon Harris: What is one thing no one knows about you?
Steve Menoian: For me personally, I used to work for a bank. When the band started taking off, I would sit in my office and do band stuff all day with the door closed. I still chuckle thinking back to that. What a weird contrast.
Brandon Harris: Its a tough topic, but I have to ask what is your opinion on the shooting thatoccurredd in Orlando?
Steve Menoian: It's terrible. Flat out terrible. There's nothing else to really say. I sure as hell don't know how to fix this kind of thing, but I personally would like to see something happen so it's not so easy for people to get their hands on weapons like that. It's weird, being a touring band that's played all over the country, these places don't seem so far away anymore. I remember our show in Orlando like it was yesterday. I guess it just hits closer to home.
Brandon Harris: How long did you all work on this up coming album? Are there any suprises in the album for fans?
Steve Menoian: We were writing for over a year. Not as much in the beginning, but it really ramped up late last year. We moved into production early this year. We hit some delays, but when you're trying to make something great, it's never easy or perfect. We're in the final stages now, so we're very excited to get this music out there. We definitely took a couple risks on the album musically, but I'm confident in them!
Brandon Harris: use one word to define music?
Steve Menoian: Eclectic.
Brandon Harris: Thanks so much for taking an interview with us, is there anything you would like to say to your fans?
Steve Menoian: Just keep an eye out for new music and content very soon. It's gonna be a fun year... and come get rowdy with us at a show!
