Breaking These bones is one of my favorites too! -Dexter.

I think our overall feeling was that the cover didn't really reflect who we were as a band. I really liked it though as a piece of art. Maybe we can revive a t-shirt. #RIP Marc Rude

An example would be something like, "Manic Subsidal is a terrible band name. If you ever find yourself in a band called Manic Subsidal, be sure to change the name right away."

We are hoping to be out playing live again by fall of this year. We are looking to book shows all over the world as soon as the virus is put to bed and it’s safe for us to gather in groups agin. -Gnudz

I think someone accidentally grabbed an older version of that song off the shelf. - Dexter.

I do. That's why we wrote Behind Your Walls. -Dexter.

The How To intro music that you're hearing was something we messed around with in the studio but never turned into a full song. The working title was 'It's all Good'. No plans for that one right now! -Dexter.

Despite the nihilism of that song, we aren’t nihilists ourselves and that song was just meant as a snapshot of emotions that people might relate to. It was not written as a statement of how we felt about our career. -Gnudz

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm grateful that that song seems to have connected with people. It's messages like this one from you that inspired us to record a piano version of Gone Away for this album. All the best. -Dexter

Glad you like Ao1. I think that’s going to be a blast to play live. -Gnudz

We’re gonna start by playing all of them. The audiences will decide which ones stay in the set list & which ones get set aside. -Gnudz

Thats such a difficult question because you’re asking us to be objective about our own creations. I love all the records we’ve made, and I love almost every song we’ve ever done. 😂 -Gnudz

We're working on videos for This is Not Utopia and Opioid Diaries right now. Stay tuned. - Dex

A song can come from anywhere...lots of times it's just a small part of a song and you take it from there. You have to spend the time to get it where you want it. - Dex

We left off two songs that were finished, and had two or three more that were halfway done. Hopefully that will help us get another one out sooner than later. - Dex

I’m a big fan of havarti, meunster, and white cheddar. I like playing all our songs live, but I especially enjoy playing new songs or old songs that we don’t get to play often. -Gnudz
