"There are more mini-booms going on. There are a lot of bands having minor successes, whereas 10 years ago, we were lucky enough to be in that time and place where we could have great success on the last wave of that ideal in the music industry."

"I've been listening to some of these younger bands coming out and their music doesn't have a long attention span. They are fast, scattered hybrids of indie music and metal and hardcore and punk and soul — all of these mushed together. I don't really understand it and I don't understand how we are relevant in that scope of what's going on in music right now."

"It's exciting — I don't care if people buy our music or not, I just want them to hear it. The way record deals are organised, bands are never really going to make any money off albums. To make money you probably have to sell a million copies so the chances of making money are astronomically low. So why should you care? I loved what Radiohead did. In my ideal world, we would give our albums away and if fans liked it enough, they could buy it."
