A lot of the time bands make a record, tour a little bit then kinda fall back satisfied: oh well do a new record when its time we want to stay consistent and on top of our game. We feel constantly musically creative. That doesnt mean were gonna keep dishing out records for the sake of it, everything that we do is meaningful.

Papercut was the record that started it all we did that out of our own pockets and time, we werent even being looked at by labels. Then through doing that we got picked up and FBR put it out as it was. The new record though was a brand new experience to have a budget and timescale.

We did Papercut in three days on our own budget. The whole record is really, really personal, it has a lot of eerie dark overtones. On the new record we got to work with producers for the first time Patrick Stumph from FOB produced a few tracks we wanted to show we were out of that. Were happier with where we are as humans and we wanted that to shine in the record: we wanted to make a summertime record. I feel like we accomplished that.

Being on tour together and being constantly with the same few people means we now think the same things are funny, we have inside jokes and stuff. Musically there are bands we all love to listen to: Bloc Party being one of them. There arent many we agree on. Greenday, 311, RHCP rock/funk got me wanting to be in a band in the first place. Disashi comes from a very rock background and hes really into Jimi Hendrix which I think shines through on his guitar solos on ACASC. Our bass player is into a lot of reggae. Travis is all over the place with singing and rapping this is the first album he sings complete songs rather than rapping a little in them. There were tracks where we were like, where do we fit in the rap part? and it didnt feel right to put one in. It wasnt a conscious movement away from rap, we made that decision to suit the songs.

It used to be us in my living room passing around ideas and seeing what we liked, what stuck. For ACASC it was a more of a test. We all moved into a house together and tried to write songs during rehearsals. We did half of it that way then we went to NY and wrote the other half with producers. We were constantly constructing the songs. This was one big winding road.

I think its a natural progression for bands to evolve. People say were an amalgamation of all these genres but back in the day we used to play like a hip-hop song, a jazz song, a rock song: it was really extreme. I think we eventually found a style we were comfortable with and solidified.

Its a misconception that we only tour with rock bands but weve done our fair share with hip-hop acts. We opened for Run DMC a long time ago; it was our first paid show!

From the beginning we never fit in anywhere. We played shows with death metal, reggae, hip-hop artists and even feminist poets. We found a way of taking a crowd that wasnt necessarily there to see us, demanding their attention and making them have a good time. We run the whole spectrum everyone listens to us because were so amazing!

I feel like the music speaks for itself. Actually, we had less to prove than most bands coming out at the time because they were just watered down versions of other artists achieving success. We stood apart so much that we could just do whatever we want; and I still feel that way.
