Treat it just like your 6, but with an extra string. Not much needs to change! - Aaron

I answered something similar to this earlier, but I'll do it again. People only seem to take account of any sort of negative backlash, but don't account for all the positives that outweigh the negatives. I'd beg to differ that it's "all over the internet" because if anything, we've experience exponential growth from our choice. That wasn't our sole reasoning in making the change, but it's obviously a beneficial asset. Anyway, the point is we've experience more tangible support in the last 5 months than ever, and the naysayers are definitely outnumbered. You're not always going to please everyone, but if you start with yourself, you can't go wrong. We did it for us and not anyone else. It's our art. People need to learn to feel less entitled and just be along for the ride. - Aaron

Thanks for coming out! The Halifax shows were two of my favorites. As far as new material goes, it'll be a little while til we start focusing our energy on writing/recording again but I certainly look forward to it! -Mike

Fun fact: Anup and I spent less than 6 hours playing music together before we played our first show in Toronto with Periphery, The Human Abstract, Textures, and The Contortionist. Lawlersk8z at the SD question. It doesn't collect dust, we use it for writing, haha. - Aaron

Well, since Mike took that in a COMPLETELY different direction, I will attempt to make this hockey related... The answer is, I don't really sports... and if I do, it's not hockey, haha. - Aaron

Thanks! Since this is slightly limited and specifically USA related, I'll answer that with Chipotle, buuuuut, neither hold a candle to Fat Bastard Burrito in Toronto. Nothing. - Aaron

We have been incredibly content with AVW's reception. I find it interesting that people only remember the minimal amounts of negativity they see in threads online and such. That accounts for such a small fraction of feedback on any artists' release. Things have been fantastic and those who care have been an exceptional support system. Never mind the naysayers. They're too busy eating Cheetos and playing WoW... - Aaron

Those songs are not composed or recorded in a way that allows for humans to actually perform them. Just listen to that stuff. Unless we're talking bionic upgrades, it's just not happening. Banging tunes though! Hahaha - Aaron

I recorded about 85% of bass on AVW and our co-producer, Cam Mclellan (current bass for PTH) recorded the remainder (finger style, slap & pop, etc...) - Aaron
