🔥 What We Talk About:

Everyone who's put a guitar in the back of a station wagon and driven 200 km for a gig for 20 bucks—they're the ones who need that support. That's why we do this show.

"Skip September was a full song in about 20 minutes. I literally sat down and wrote it... the song just happened."
