Doug Robb: (When asked about the bands musical style) It's more positive. It's not all positive, but... none of us were beaten by our parents, fortunately, and we don't have too many gripes. So I'm not complaining too much in our songs. It's mostly more of everyday-type stuff, life...you know, the questions that you and me ask in everyday life. I think that I was fortunate enough to have a strong family and live in a good neighborhood, a family-oriented neighborhood, so I don't have to sing about how rough it was... I don't think we're doing something that hasn't been done before. But I think it's not very trendy. I think it's just rock music with good songs and lyrics, lyrics that people can relate to, grab onto; it's just stuff that I've been through just being a normal guy.
