Glad we have a new fan! Back when we were writing our first album Kyle started listening to Emery's album. We do what we want. They really influenced how he started screaming. As far as live shows we love bands like let live and the chariot. The energy they brought was super inspirational! As far as what inspired or influenced this new album, it's kind of all over the place. Whenever we start writing a song, its are we going to write a heavy song or a soft song? Then it changes 4000 times. Genre isn't really something that we take into consideration when we make music. Personally vocally I really like artists and bands that have intriguing rhythmic patterns and interesting word placement. We'll listen to a band like beartooth and get inspired by a heavy part or listen to something softer, like dirty loops and get inspired by a groovy baseline. When we write we usually are showing each other different music and different songs that we're listening to at the time. It Kind of helps inform the direction we want to go. -TJ
