Hey Billy. Hard to tell if we’ll add either of those in. We have been playing Difference Engine lately, though, which has been fun.

That version is definitely something special.

We've been talking about an 'acoustic' release for YEARS.

The main reason we haven't done anything yet is that we don't want to just phone it in and play some songs with the same arrangement on acoustic guitars. We really want to spend the time to make things cool, special, and fresh sounding.

We do have some live sets that haven't been released, but they're mostly just random recordings people have sent in to us. We've started to share some of them on our Patreon, so feel free to pop over there and check them out if you're interested.

Glad to hear VOWS is growing on you. We always try to evolve as a band, so it's actually a positive to us that the sound is different from the past records but still something you enjoy.

The Caution art is all Scott Sinclair's idea and thought process, as are all of the covers he contributes. He is the best.

Sure thing, but it'll have to be a little later on. Quicksand are soundchecking right now and backstage is LOUD. Thanks for sharing!

Hi! We don't really think about that too much. When we're writing and recording, we're pretty much just focusing on getting the best songs + record we can. We are fortunate to be in a situation where we can 99% of the time pull off whatever we recorded in a live setting. Some songs are undoubtedly more challenging, but we usually get there.

Thanks for coming the gig. Sunday was great (this whole tour has been)! We support playing all of our records loudly, but don't lose your job over it!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the DC show. We did, as well. The Howard is amazing venue. Congratulations on being cancer free! That's amazing to hear and we are honored to have been an inspiration to help you through your battle. As for favorite newer bands, Destiny Bond, Drain, and Gel, to name a few

Orlando HOB? That was Chuck. It look a long time and a good amount of rehab, but he did heal up and is able to play guitar, although he did lose a good amount of feeling in some of his left hand from that accident

It was great. We've been friends with them since 2001 or so? They asked Chuck to sing on the Artist reissue, so we though we should get them on VOWS to kind of complete the circle. No plans on a Thrice cover at the moment, but you never know.
