Party Music
“We were painfully aware of the expectation that we needed to fulfill and it made it real difficult at times. Because we’d often cock-block ourselves and it took a while for us to say, ‘Hang on a second we need to just do something, we need to do what we’ve always done and just be true to ourselves’...And this is the new era for us.”
Here They Are!
“And we were just thinking ‘Why don’t people respect this pop thing anymore? Why don’t people genuinely love it and try to use the same amount of imagination like these amazing alternative bands are doing?’ So we set ourselves that rule."
