I love the gratification of being onstage and hearing people screaming. You're up there, and everybody's cheering, and it's all for your band.

It's a basic outlet for me. We're up there to get it out, problems that we're having, emotional stuff. I write a lot about inner conflict: trials and tribulations of life, basically.

The biggest thing with Toilsome right now is just how it's changed. There are going to be a lot more metal-heads into it.

Edgar has managed to basically be in the hearing world. He has developed his own language with his friends.

HOW CAN I TELL YOU "I LOVE YOU AFTER HEARING CARS LOVE SHELL?"

Yeah, it's a smaller area and we're underdogs when compared with teams like Stanford, but that's OK. The people up there have a passion for running and I like the fact that, even though you compete in a smaller sport, everyone will know your name.
