“We don't change with the times because we write from the heart. We don't need to change our image to sell records because that's not why we do this.”
“The goal is never be a copycat of ourselves. It's more along the lines of taking risks in our music.”
“We did two nights at a place in Southern California that only holds about 500 people. It was really intimate... Everyone was in lingerie... OK, every time someone says a show was intimate, my head always goes there.”
“We've always existed regardless of how popular our band is. We've been around for a while, and we can tour regardless of whether there's a single on the radio or not.”
“We're hoping that fans who have listened for a while, or only know the singles will be like, 'Damn, man, I didn't realize track 9 on 'Catalyst,' I didn't realize how awesome that song is.'”
“I remember going up to bands I've loved and tried to talk to them and been cold-shouldered.”
“Most punk rock bands just have a guitar, bass and drums. The Descendents, the Ramones, you name 'em, it's just how it's always been.”
“All of the records are direct reflections of how we were at that time in our lives, so when we play them, it's very nostalgic and fun, but also it's cool to see that they all still sound really relevant.”
“It's nice to have fans who want and need our music.”
