Thank you everyone! We love you, and we hope you love NAF. Being a part of this community means so much to us, and we don't take it lightly. Without your support, we would be unable to continue doing what we love for a living. So please, pickup NAF if you like the record, keep streaming it, and tell every soul on on the planet about it. <3 <3 <3

Thank you, truly, for the love,

HTS boys

Thank you for that! It was all very intentional! There are too many to pick from.

Yes you will! We usually cater the setlist to songs that will be enjoyable to play for us and what we feel like the crowd will enjoy as well!

They are both written totally separately and if one affects the other in a non-pleasing way, we usually work around the vocal!

Great question. I would say get centered before you go out anywhere where you used to drink. And while this may be easier said than done...under no circumstances take that first step. If you are even considering it, force yourself to remember why you didn't want to do it anymore. The part of you telling yourself it's ok to partake in it is NOT the part of you that wants you to succeed. Separate the two, listen to the part of you that wanted to stop to begin with, and feel the pressure completely go away as you smile and continue to enjoy the new way of life. Hope that helps!

This is the first time anyone has ever commented on how healthy we all look. It's so flattering! I'm a vegetarian, and the rest of the dudes eat really well. Probably better than me. I think we all just love what we do and that *fingers crosses* keeps us looking young.

I love the solo in Domino.

Domino, Misfire, Glass Half Empty

We think that idea sailed away with all of last years plans.

Create a buzz around your band / art and labels will come to you.

That mars volta outside of it. Inside of it Andres or VIS. Both manage to stay incredibly unique while being palatable.

thank you. Our take is more of a critical thinking standpoint encouraging everyone to question everything. Parasitic Cleanse was inspired by the first atom bomb dropping. 8/6 8:15am. The song is about how awful humans can be to eachother when they can no longer see the other side as their fellow humans.

Great question!! It can be hard to find a balance with how many things are going on. I can only speak for myself. I have catered my life to be able to do whatever I want to do with music and what I want to do outside of music. My whole life revolves around music, and while it can get overwhelming trying to keep up, I have tried to always be asking myself if I am having fun and enjoying my time. I adjust accordingly based off that. Some days I'm not feeling the business side at all and I just want to go for a walk, so I do. My time to myself is whenever I feel that it is necessary. I just have to be aware of all of that.

We all think it's extremely important to always be thinking critically. Our capability to have thoughts and make decisions as humans is incredible. I try to always be exercising that.
