We were perceived as a post-grunge band.

We never considered ourselves to be a good band or anything, we just thought we were playing for fun and we wanted to play music that sounded like Black Sabbath or Soundgarden or the music we were into at that time.

We were really motivated to do something with this record overseas, even though I hate touring.

When we first began and I was 14, my influences were the stuff that was in my parent's record collection like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.

I am doing everything humanly possible to try and get well, but lately things have just kept getting worse.

It makes it hard to get over a certain period of your life when you are constantly revisiting it every night.
