• Rody Walker: “Progressive music doesn’t have to be difficult to listen to. The guys write incredibly technical music, but no matter what time signature they’re playing in, I pretty much sing in 4/4… It’s a matter of taking progressive pieces, and, when you’re adding vocals, trying to sing something that sounds good, not just technical.”
  • Luke Hoskin: “As we’ve grown, the songs and albums we listen to are less about playing for the sake of playing, and more about playing for the sake of the song; revisiting parts, but changing them, or having choruses, but with different lyrics. Things like that allow you to stray from the standard structure, but keep the song feeling like a song. On our first album, we almost tried to avoid structure. Now, when something hits really well, the band is aware of it, and we bring it back with a new spin.”
