Brittany: How did you all join the band and when did it get started?

Stockdale: Well, long story short we all knew each other indirectly through the local scene.

Stockdale: We started around Feb. '06. We could get into how we all met, but that would take the whole evening.

Amber: Tell us a little bit about each band member.
Brittany: well that’s cool so it’s your one year anniversary.

Amber: Aww yeah! I forgot it was even Feb. haha

Stockdale: Hmmm... Probably that we're into the look rather than the music.

Stockdale: Which is a far cry from the truth.
Brittany: fo sho

Stockdale: People judge you by how you look before they listen to what you have to say. It's unfortunate but this is the world in which we live.

Brittany: well of course!

Stockdale: That’s what I told him!

Stockdale: lol.
Brittany: If you had the chance to change anything about the music business what would that be?

Stockdale: It feels like everyone is fake and it seems like you have to be pretty and not have any talent.
Brittany: haha yeah it does seem that way very often. I hate it.

Stockdale: There are a lot of artists' who deserve widespread distribution, but aren't.
Brittany: Exactly! That’s what we're here for haha.

Sammie: well, it depends the genre of music.

Brittany: mmmm I love sugar cookies!

Sammie: so you guys have any valentines?

Stockdale: Also one night a girl gave us an entire case of Rockstar energy drink. We had a long drive that night so we drank them all; by the end of the trip two of us wet ourselves.

Stockdale: That was a long night.
Brittany: haha.
Brittany: Sounds like a blasty blast though.
Brittany: Nothing like long rides and peeing your pants.

Amber: Haha tell us what comes up :)

Stockdale: Eh, nothing exciting lol.

Stockdale: Tour, tour, tour. The more shows you play the better you get and increase your chances of someone important seeing you.
Brittany: Very true!
Brittany: Have any of you had any embarrassing moments on stage you can think of?

Stockdale: We've all been hit before. One time Greg tried to jump off of an amp and busted his ass.

Sammie: hahaha!
Brittany: HAHHAHA!

Amber: ouch lol.
Brittany: He forgot he wasn’t an actual ninja turtle didn’t he?

Stockdale: Warped tour is up there, Blink-182 and Greenday, AFI.

Stockdale: It's freaking awesome. Let's just hope it doesn’t turn into what Woodstock did in the 90s.
Brittany: What's your take on myspace?

Stockdale: We live and breathe on myspace haha. It makes being a band 100 times easier.
Brittany: It’s fun to think it will be in history books.

Stockdale: Logan can do gymnastics lol (gay?)

Stockdale: The first song that we ever wrote was probably a song called Forever and Today
Brittany: What are some things that you all have to have with you at all times on tour?
