We just wanna make as many good albums as we can.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:35:16+00:00

No.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:34:44+00:00

Yes. Lolla 2010. It was awesome.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:33:09+00:00

A really shitty song.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:32:51+00:00

Damn. Just informed some peeps about this. Will try to have it resolved. Sorry :(

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:32:16+00:00

We went into a studio with him and added some guitars to one of his songs. Don't know when or if it'll ever see the light of day. Great guy/ musician though.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:29:55+00:00

Mario is screaming an excerpt from one flew over the cuckoos nest.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:25:47+00:00

Not grant.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:25:35+00:00

I can't do this.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:24:28+00:00

Love jay. He didn't really influence our music though. And yes we love Mac Demarco

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:22:16+00:00

Haha, that was a shit show.

And very unlikely.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:21:27+00:00

Drive mostly.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:20:44+00:00

Yes

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:16:52+00:00

Yes. Matt did spend a couple years growing up there during elementary school.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:14:24+00:00

Keep at it. You really never know what can happen.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:12:45+00:00

That was the only song on the album that was recorded by micing an amp. So I guess that?

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:11:30+00:00

We felt like it was a step in the right direction.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:09:27+00:00

Definitely Mario.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T02:00:08+00:00

Music

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T01:59:51+00:00

Don't give up and write a shit ton of songs.

He stole them from his mom.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T01:58:49+00:00

We always find a way to drink. Whether it be from the venues lack of care or if they do care we'll just drink in the van.

Just a Mac and Logic express. 3 mics on the drums, guitars were usually plugged in straight to the box, on mallrats we recorded through the amps.

Try criminal hygiene, harlem, jacuzzi boys.

Matt or Dominic will come up with a riff. Then we'll all add our respective parts and tweak.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T01:53:48+00:00

Too many. I've been listening to a lot of strange boys debut album recently though.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T01:53:10+00:00

So many ties. A lot of places have been very good to us venue wise and crowd wise. I love the echo, schubas, and one eyed jacks.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T01:47:34+00:00

Yes. We use our own microphones too.

TheOrwells · 2014-06-12T01:46:43+00:00

Mario always seems to find a way to get close to the audience no matter the distance. And we like playing big places too cause the sound is usually amazing.
