“I think we really feel like an Australian band. I think Australia’s the best market for us and we feel like when we come back to Australia it’s really good."

“And we’re very lucky! We’ve had a long career, we’ve made records, we have great fans, we can afford to take off, concentrate on the new record and only that record, and then come back and present the material.”

“I mean usually, when I’m drinking a beer, I’m not just drinking a beer to party, I’m just kind of getting my head on straight."

"If I move from San Francisco I’m going straight to Melbourne!”

“We just wanna keep making music. It’s good to be able to pay the bills, pay the rent, but it’d be pointless for us to compromise what we’ve managed to build by trying to find a way to make more money."

"I know that sounds cheesy, but that’s all you ever hope for as an artist. I think I’m quite sensitive and I can’t take criticism very well."

"If you’re spiritually solid in life, that’s the bottom of the pyramid and everything else comes on top of that. I’ve never been a religious person at all, I wasn’t brought up in any religion."

"So far I’ve got about 12 songs written... I’ve demoed about ten of those, but as soon as the tour’s over I’m gonna really knuckle down. I like to have 20 songs basically, to whittle down to a ten-track album."

"The thing about touring is you roll into a town and you’re there to do a show, you’re there to make music, and it’s an old troubadour tradition if you like... it’s a wonderful way to travel."

"The way I see it we’re still four punk kids playing punk music, and it’s always gonna be like that. If it ever stops being like that, we’ll probably break up."
