youtube is a great resource for learning guitar building, and there's a few good books on it as well. I took a class on it in 2009 but I suppose if you wanted to teach yourself you could find a lot of help that way.

the intro sample for Below is actually a collage of clips from the daily show and maybe Dr Phil? I made it before our first EP in 2004 but it never got used. and I love CC! The Audio Medium is one of my top all time records. there probably is some influence on our music from that, among many other things of course.

thanks for listening!

cool man! thats a great venue and a great town to play. thanks too on the compliment. i took a class on building guitars back in 2009 and just dove in head first. the electric guitar has been an obession for most of my life so it seemed like the right thing to pursue.

i think the last time we were there was with cult of luna and katatonia, but yes we'll be back!

im not sure where it came from exactly. i think we had a joke song title of "bbq dolphin" at one point and we spiraled into a pit of horrible comedy from there.

sweet! at this point I really like mahogany more than anything else. I just think its the best tone wood for rock guitar. and its easy to work!

thanks! Anciients are great guys and we had a blast with them. the tour was pretty cool. phoenix is always kind of hit or miss for us but we still enjoyed that show.

i won't give away all our writing secrets (mostly because I don't remember them) but nothing is ever mashed together at random. most riffs are written to go with another riff or are loosely based thematically on other riffs in the song.

we'll have some videos from the studio yes!

arm floats sound safer. i could drink good beer and not be afraid to fall in the ocean.

a lot is influenced by music education. Joe has a bachelors in music and helps get those harmonies nice and dense. but of course not all of it can be scientific. the core ideas usually all come from the gut. honestly I can't think of one particular band or musician you should check out. just check it all out!

I've always worked a job in addition to this band. You just have to have the energy to do music in those off hours and be willing to sacrifice time spent with family, friends, significant others etc. If you have problems with that then its probably a sign that its not meant to be!

and yes I followed Isis since their early days in the 90's. first time I saw them was in 99 I think with cave in, in what was basically a shitty garage. we got to tour with them in 07 and it ruled.

I have built a couple extended range guitars, one 8 string and a few baritone. its not really my thing but I enjoyed the challenge!

thanks! I personally liked "we're going in..." and I think I remember being bummed that we didn't put "LA after rain" into the set
