  Noah and Nolan, you formed this band and it’s still pretty young. (I only see it getting bigger and bigger) As founders are things going as you had originally planned or are you changing directions as things unfold?

Nolan: The truth is, I don't really know what original plans were, we just knew we wanted to play good rock music and play live. The only thing that has really changed in that is that now we are feeling a little soul influence and we love to show that side of our music a lot.

Noah: And really when we started this band I never even thought we'd get to the point were at right now, so its all been a surprise. But I still think we're on track with our original plan of playing good rock music and playing live as much as possible.

Growing up we all have people we looked up to, is there anyone you still think of as an influence?

Whole band: CHRIS CORNELL!!!! he is a God. Brent Smith of Shinedown, Otis Redding, Cold War kids, 50 cent - for keepin the beats tasty, Eminem, Stone Temple Pilots, and our homies from Kentucky Cage the Elephant and our British mates Enter Shikari.

Our magazine is also about reality among the spotlights…Describe what you do the day of a show.  Have you ever had any unusual experiences as a band? Obsessed fans? Bar fights? An amazing audience?

Chris: Usually the day of a show starts off by...A) calling into work. B) going back to sleep.  Then once we all get up we load up all our gear into the trailer, get some Wendy's and head to the show. As far as unusual experiences go, well mainly actually this was just awkward as shit. Our first show ever, was at a male strip club, with a fucking pole on both sides of the stage...FOR MALE STRIPPERS.  We totally rocked the poles though.

Noah and Nolan, being twins is an interesting thing in a band, do you always work well together? (You are twins, right?)

Aaron: Um...Not always. They have their moments were they yell at each other and Noah tells Nolan he’s fu*king stupid and Nolan says fu*k you and that's pretty much the end. But most of the time they get along decent. And yes, they are twins. And actually there are a lot of those moments.
