2. You just recently got signed to Middle T Records, what does it feel like to finally get picked up by a label?

Chris-
We've been around for 3 years or so and have had a few offers but this one is nice cause we're all in Raleigh and the studio is in Raleigh so it works great for all of our schedules. The label has been totally nice to us so far so we expect great things to happen in 2006 with our new album coming out and touring with Across Five Aprils.

3. You've played shows with Evergreen Terrace, Hand To Hand and Across Five Aprils, what is your favorite band to play beside?

Chris-
We really enjoy playing with Hand To Hand, those guys are just wicked nice and we always have a great time playing with them. Of course Evergreen Terrace rocks and we love A5A. We've been listening to them for so long it's awesome we can actually play shows with them. But, we love any band who can get up there and put on a great show and just have fun doing what they love most, rocking.
