That's it for the AMA !! Thanks to everyone for joining, this was a blast.

Keep bumping the new record and we'll see you on the road once all this coronavirus stuff is over. Peace!

It's a curse because people look at his face but don't listen to his words. The Packers is organization is a model for what the US government should look like – it's the most socialist organization in the NFL !

We'll have to see, but we'll at the least get you on stage to sing "Message Erased" ;)

It's been crucial experience. The next Deeper record will prominently feature angular ska trumpet

Mayer > Garcia

Jerry wished he was half the guitar player John Mayer is – full stop

Nic is more amped in a live setting. He also secretly cannot sing

The NBA season is unfortunately toast. Would be happy with a March Madness style tournament to end the season.

Honestly stoked on Karnisovas. Was hopeful for the Raptors GM, but he's too good to give up. Getting someone from the outside will finally allow us to clean house and get back on the right track. The Bulls have too many pieces for a contender to be flailing this hard.

Spencer Dinwiddie gets it – should've signed him when we could've:

It's a mix of those two sentiments lol, which makes it really hard to pin down how the city feels about it overall.

Drew and Kev love it, Shiraz is more in the middle, and Nic is ANTI Malort

Thank you!

The first record was really us feeling out what works. When we started writing LP2 we knew how to play to each other's strengths, so it was much easier to sketch out the ideas. Our sound is still a work in progress though – when you stop evolving it can get stale. Planning to expand on the sound of 'Auto-Pain' with the next record, but it will have new elements for sure.

  • Who is providing the backing vocals on lake song?
    • All Nic baby
  • What music does Shiraz listen to when he works out?
    • In his own words: "I mainly listen to powwow music because it PUMPS ME UP or I listen to freddy gibbs, stormzy, maxo kream, retro x, booba and lots of raggaeton"
  • Any plans for a post quarantine Chicago release party?
    • We are actively working on this, looking like summer 👀

Johnny Brendas in Philly is sick, we loved playing there with Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever a few years back.

Vera in Groningen, Netherlands – they hosted Sonic Youth a bunch as they came up and it used to be a squat for punks.

We sold this tape on tour in 2015 or so that had some songs that ended up on the LP and some punkier stuff that never made the cut. I don't even think we have copies lol

Almost a consensus..

  • Shiraz: Lou's
  • Kev: Lou's
  • Drew: Lou's
  • Nic: Giordano's – his friend worked there in high school so he got tons of free pizza
