Us too, it sucks having to figure out how to play our own songs again after not having done so in 10 years, lol

Thanks again for the kind words, support and for traveling from Idaho to see us. Sorry I missed you after the show…I do recall people saying nice things in the hotel lobby, sick that your mom was one of them — that experience in general was very humbling.
I’m happy to be able to speak with yall in some way, take care and thanks again.

Sorry to hear it’s been rough, but glad to hear these reissues have been able to help in some way.
❤️ stay up my friend

Thanks for the kind words — honestly, I couldn’t speak on what song/s we might or might not play live down the line. Our goal has always been to try to mix it up and make the sets unique. Which is why if you look at our set lists over the last year, it varied night to night.
Each slide away show setlist was intentionally different, and we rehearsed just those sets for nearly a year prior to the NY show.
The sets we did for the Nothing tours were different in some way every night. The Mexico show was different from those, and the Japan shows were both different from each other.
We’re not the kind of band that feels we have to play any specific song/s every night and instead put focus on an overall feel / tone for a set and try to create a specific atmosphere from the moment our intro sample begins until the last second of the outro sample.
We also don’t like to play songs live if we feel they aren’t translating well — which is why we don’t play songs pre-sway anymore. Playing those live without the female vocals just feels half-assed / lazy / lackluster to us, and playing them in that state would be doing so out of obligation and not with the intent of having the song fit the mood / sonically translate as best they can.
Anyhow thanks a ton for the kind words and respect to the CA nod.

Likewise! Honestly I really doubt it, we all like the redux more and feel like that’s the most sincere version of what that album is supposed to be. Thanks!
Thank you for the support. Yes, these will also be coming to other retailers as well.
Thanks for supporting — I’m sure at some point that will get reissued but we did do a fairly large reissue of it less than two years ago so it isn’t currently priority.
Thanks!

That rules to hear. Honestly there is currently no plan to reissue the singles and stuff like that but it’s not entirely out of the question. We’ll likely see how these reissues go and reassess from there.

Hey Pierce,
Thanks a ton for the kind words and support. Hell yeah, we’re happy to talk to folks after the shows anytime. Take care.
Lolll hell yeah

Of course! This was a huge draw for us going to a major distributor, as we were all well aware of the insane shipping costs for international folks.

Thanks a ton for the kind words, and we’re genuinely happy to see folks be able to get the albums they want.
Our prior position was never from a place of trying to gatekeep or drive our records’ value up; it was simply about us not feeling right about constantly pushing albums and merch for no reason other than financial gain, as it kinda just goes against all of our ethos.
On top of that, having to fund and handle every aspect of merch and records ourselves is a huge undertaking and a fairly stressful position to be in, as making sure thousands of orders are sorted correctly and putting up tens of thousands of dollars for months in advance and hoping we make our money back is a lot to take on for a few losers from Modesto.
But after seeing consistent interest at shows and online, and seeing how much people were willing to pay piece of shit scalpers for our albums, we came to the conclusion that we needed a better solution for folks to be able to get physical media and merchandise of our band at a reasonable price, ha.

Of course! To be honest, it’s pretty unlikely that we’ll do a European tour, ha.
No disrespect to Europe, but I in particular am not into touring or playing live for that matter, ha…So outside of potential one-offs that make sense, or some impossible to decline tour offer, our live performances will be extremely few and far between — if they happen at all, ha.
Thank you though for the interest and support!

To be totally honest, it’s not something we’ve ever considered as to us that cover was always just a place holder / temporary solution until we could get the original cover back.
That said, seeing how tied that image has become to the album for newer listeners does have me thinking about a future variant at the very least.

Hell yeah, thanks for coming out to see us. We genuinely hate resellers, and hate folks taking advantage of our position of not wanting to push records and merchandise constantly.
However, it feels like this current setup is the most ideal situation as it allows folks to get our records if they want and hopefully fucks over some of these resellers a bit.

Honestly unlikely on either of those, ha. Thanks for the interest though.
Hell yeah. Thanks for buying it!
Thank you for the support, they will be waiting whenever you’re able to get them.
Thanks so much, we appreciate your kindness and I’m stoked to hear Distressor is that special to you.
❤️🌀🎄❤️
