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

Though, since the first record, I've dramatically changed my expectations for our records.

Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.

I never really paid attention to sales until the second record.

The touring for this album was definitely going to be the most intense touring we've done.

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.
