"We’ve always been pitched as a heart-on-your-sleeve sort of band, and I think you’ll really see it this time."

“Working with those two guys there... they’re characters. But when it’s time to get serious and get some serious sounds they’re absolute professionals."

“I didn’t purposefully do it, but it’s always good to do something a little bit different to the last album.”

"Some were clearly not as polished as we’d come to expect of ourselves now, so those songs were put on the backburner for us to work on later."

“I think dance music and club nights are in their best form when there is no sheen. I’m not really making a conscious choice to look the way I do.”

“We just figured, if you’re going into a studio you may as well use everything you possibly can. That’s the whole point."

"I give respect to the artists that bring some of the elders or the old school legends back with them and then maybe eventually they might be able to go and tour or tour together and let the people see old and new together. That’s hip hop.”

"It would have felt really dishonest to just try and recreate that album because we’ve grown so much as a band and, you know, we just wanted to push ourselves to do something new and interesting."

“Sure, it’s frustrating that people didn’t see the band as ‘legitimate’ or whatever even though we’d been around and had paid our dues, but it helped our drive more than it frustrated us."

“Since then, like any worthwhile underground culture that hits the mainstream when people discover its magic, punk has been commodified and chopped into one stereotypical genre after another."

"We can’t be fucked dealing with the whole, like, pay 30 bucks an hour, Melbourne-style parking – it’s fucking shit. We just go, ‘Fuck, I’m just gonna park over here’."

“A lot of people would make jokes or doubt that a Something For Kate record was capable of doing that, so I’m really happy to hear that you find it uplifting."

“Reading it, you know that horrifically violent things are occurring... yet it’s very funny to read. That’s the danger of the book, and that’s why it can scare you."

“…I did feel a lot of pressure from the EP and I think that really affected me for the first few months of deciding on where I was gonna record the album, and writing and stuff."

"Putting on a tour, it’s the biggest capital gamble you can do; it’s all about bums on seats and selling tickets – it’s pretty hard work, so to get someone to underwrite the tour, it’s a blessing really."

"It gives you something that you can’t get at a typical circus show. It’s a got a bit more of an ‘anything’s up for grabs’ kinda feel to it.”

Five minutes with Tomas Ford.

In the quiet moment of Liquid Paper, Wills’ ode to crap relationships that has an instant classic vibe, even the drunk amongst us can’t help but stand still and illicit just a quiet expletive for the strength of tonight’s performance.

Behind all of The Bronx’s hardcore stage antics and neck tattoos lurks the soul of an incredibly potent garage rock band.

There’s such a fantastic potential to put on a stand-up comedy show, but instead the D try to put on a rock show, and it fails to be as killer as it should be. Though even that can’t stop the diehard fans from having a great time.

After a five-song encore rounds things out, you have to agree that for The Gaslight Anthem, right now, business is good.

Still, even when its flapping around indecisively and diving enthusiastically into insanity, The Séance is always entertaining. Thoroughly recommended.

Uta and George’s easy banter and turbulent relationship was a joy to sit back and watch.
