Band: Thank you!

Host: Thank you, guys. I love the dual vocal leads. Was that always a part of the formula for you guys when you were writing?

Calvin Langman: It wasn't something that I thought about until we started doing this album. I was like, "This is really weird and different" but it works for us.

Ross Monteith: The way it kind of started with us—Luke also sings a bunch too now—the way it kind of started was on the EP there were certain things that I couldn’t sing that [Points at Langman] he sang and the certain things that he couldn't sing—well, not that he couldn't sing it, it just sounded—

Luke Davis: It’s more comfortable when they're [?]

Monteith: Yeah, it was more comfortable in our different ranges.

Davis: Which kinda works now 'cause [Points at Langman] he has the highest range, [Points at Monteith] you're kind of like the mid, and I'm the lower so that helps a lot.

Langman: Yeah, and [Points at Monteith] he had a really good scream, like scratchy voice that sounded really painful and soul-ly. And that's why we used him on a lot of the high parts on that song.

Host: [Laughs] Right, like a higher-gun singer, all of a sudden.

Monteith: [Laughs] Yeah, I guess so. So then, yeah, we just kinda kept that up with the album pretty much.

Host: Yeah. And so now you guys—you know, the EP's been out a little while. You've got a new song that you’re gonna do next, so you know, now that you’re writing and this is like a thing, whereas when you made this EP it was more kind of like for yourselves. Does that change anything about how you sit down to write songs? Is it harder to write songs when you're like, "Okay we’re a band now—we have to write songs and make an album"?

Davis: I think, you know, when they wrote the EP it was a hundred percent them just being like, "Alright. This is a song, I guess we wrote it. It's not changing and we just put it out." And with the album, it's more of we're like, "Alright. These are the song ideas," and then we went to Diamond City Studios of Ayad Al-Adhamy and he’s our co-manager now too. And he kind of blew our minds with like "whoa". He's like, "Look at them from this perspective," or like, "Maybe we should do this." So that kind of really shaped and molded the album 'cause a lot of the songs were mismatched all over the place so we couldn't— You know, we have a cello so now we don't know what genre we are so that kind of honed it in and made the album like [Gestures]. When everyone hears it, I think they'll think it's like nice sonic piece.
Host: Yeah. Cool, man. We're all looking forward to it. And this song is gonna be on the new one, correct?

Band: Yeah.

Host: Tell me a little bit about this last song.

Langman: It's called "Achey Bones". It was actually written right after "While You Fade Away". We just didn't have the drums to pull it off yet, so we saved it. Also about the same sad breakup, so it's about— [Laughs]

Davis: All our songs are really happy. Our names are really ironic.
