We have people in the band who don't drink or do drugs... some of us like to go sightseeing.
We learned pretty early on in this band that you can't have snobbery in music.
When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves.
