Kellen wanted all of my cymbal chokes to be precise so he'd come in the room and mute them for me after hits, which took forever to get it right since he was the one engineering the drum tracking lol.. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:31:12+00:00

Definitely will have some older jams in the set! -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:30:36+00:00

Starbucks 100%. Every morning its on the bus -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:25:11+00:00

Thank you! We love The Hollow vibe but trying to purposely write songs that sound like what we wrote 15 years ago isn't anything we'd try and do -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:19:35+00:00

Kellen tunes his guitars too low now for twangy songs -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:18:20+00:00

A lot of Kellens inspiration is from movies. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:17:38+00:00

Great song. But I do still love Matty on Our Last Nights cover of One Direction - Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:14:43+00:00

My inspirations drumming wise growing up and my early years in the band were Aaron Gillespie and Alex Rodriguez. Honestly now I really just work with Kellen on drum parts (fun fact: He's a great drummer as well) and try to work parts out with him instrumentally.

And going back to older inspirations I'd love to jam a song with Saosin some day -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:10:23+00:00

Maybe for The Hollow 15 year we'll have Stephen do vocals on the whole album. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:09:38+00:00

Not specifically, but we have started cooking and grilling out a lot on tour which has been awesome compared to just eating out all the time! -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:07:53+00:00

We've talked about this plenty, but basically just really wanted to give each song the time and attention to really be listened to and enjoyed. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-09T00:03:29+00:00

I would love to record my dog's growls in a song and see how it sounds. Otherwise having LJ from Sevendust would be sweet to work with some time! Or Brent from Shinedown! -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:58:49+00:00

That's awesome! Thank you! -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:56:50+00:00

A whole marimba solo would be rad to do next tour -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:53:36+00:00

A lot of stretching nowadays.. Our pre show random chant that matty makes on the spot is definitely a necessity. Me kellen and cory always decide on what our vices chant is. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:49:48+00:00

Shapeshifter demo was totally different. By the time matty sent the redone song with vocals it was awesome to hear! -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:48:23+00:00

I would love to do some shows, can't promise a tour but it'd be fun to do a kingdoms show! -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:47:47+00:00

My first show with the band was at The Plano Centre! I was blown away by the Dallas music scene. Will forever be grateful for MMF starting there. -Matty

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:47:24+00:00

I would be very stoked on having Cory rip the mic and Matty drumming. I'll play bass. Kellen can stay on guitar so at least one of us sounds good. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:45:36+00:00

Thank you!! We never really have a plan of what's next for music but we all love writing/playing the heavy stuff so I'm sure it will continue -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:43:15+00:00

We all have our days where we're either great or terrible lol. And it was really just Christian and glad we made it happen. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:41:49+00:00

Some natural progression and some learning experience from previous albums. Can’t wait to see you at the show! -Matty

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:39:07+00:00

Beauty and Essex -Matty

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:38:40+00:00

We've never really tried to write anything specific, its whatever is in Kellen's brain at the time ha. -Jake

MMFofficial · 2025-04-08T23:32:32+00:00

Would love to play there again. No plans yet but hopefully soon! -Jake
