What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Hmm... tough to say. I would say playing a packed show in Nashville, TN to an amazing crowd is one highlight. Getting a couple songs placed on Network TV has to be another. Also, my mom really likes the band, so there's that, but even more impressive, your mom likes the band. She told me last night... you know... after...

And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Sleeping in the van on tour in below zero temperatures was pretty rough, but I honestly don't want to forget that. That built character, and we pissed in old gatorade bottles and threw them at each other, so that was pretty fun. ahhh memories....

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
I suppose our song 'Yesterday'. I think it encompasses most of our influences and forms a sort of heavy, technically progressive, yet catchy, anthemic mixture of sticky ear goo.
