With our first two records we backed ourselves into a hole musically.

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

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.

It's always lucky. It was a wedge of 111 yards. I hit it 112 and it backed into the hole. You intend to hole it but it's always lucky when it comes off.

Kinda when I stopped eating was on our second album, just as it felt like everything was so out of control.

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.
