The Music

How Long Have You Been Playing Music?: Been singing 17 years / playing the drums for 14 years.


How did the band form? "Basically 12 years ago. We started singing when we were 3 and 4 years old. We did covers of the Beach Boys, Dwight Yoakum and Randy Travis. We picked up instruments about 2 1/2 years ago because we decided that in order to grow as a band we needed to evolve. I think that was a good move. We've matured in our musicianship. Plus, we got to go to more places and see more things. We used to sing country music. Now that we sing poprock, it allowed us to go to Europe, Asia, the U.K."


Do You Think Fans Expect Too Much from you When They Meet You in Person? Not really. I think when fans meet us, it's definitely one of the most exciting parts of being a fan for them. They spend all this money to see you in concert and some times are way in the back. When they get a chance to meet you, sometimes it's overwhelming. It's difficult to get all we can to the fans, but we try to do as much as we can. We definitely try to take as much time out of our lives as we can.


First Memory of Performing: Timmy's Telethon


Musical Influences: Metallica, Beatles, Garth Brooks, Dwight Yoakam, Beach Boys, Dave Grohl, Silverchair


Fastest Ever Written a Song: 20 Minutes.


All Four of You Take A Role on the Business Side of Things, What is your job? I handle publishing and record sales and oversee the fan club and the Web Page.


Do You Ever Get Stage Fright? If So, How Do You Get Over it? I'm usually ok.


What Do You Hope To Accomplish in the Group? "Bands like the Beatles, Beach Boys and Bee Gees have set milestones in what they've done. We look to groups that have really made a difference in music. That's what we'd like to do. We want to be remembered as good musicians and good songwriters. We want to continue to evolve with every album."

How Do You Feel About Your Fans? "That's why we play live. We think it's only right we play something different for our fans, not something they've heard a hundred times."


How Do Your International Fans Compare to the Ones in the States?: "I love the response of all of our fans. Four years ago we were quite successful in the US and had lots of people recognize us. Then we took a break and grew quite a bit and things calmed down. Now it's wild again so we know it could be over tomorrow We're thankful to all of our fans, because without them we'd have no one to play our music for. '


Was There Any Difficulty in Deciding Who Would Play Which Instrument? I guess at first there was because the three of us, myself, Clint and Scott, we all started to play guitar. That's not really going to work out if you want a band and there's three guys playing guitar and one guy playing keyboards. It's just not going to happen. Scott pursued playing guitar and he liked the feel of it. Clint moved over to bass and I went with the drums. We always tease Clint about the bass that it's two-strings less than guitar and that's' why he changed.


How Has Fame Affected Your Family Relationships?: "We've always been best friends."

The First Thing You Did After Getting Your First Big Check: "SMILED :)"


Most Outragous Thing You've Read About Yourself: "That I said or someone said that I said "Billie liked me." I hardly know her, she was the opening act at one of our concerts and we talked a bit, she was nice but that was it."

How Has Traveling Affected Your Education? "Traveling has allowed us the world and just how lucky we are to even have the option of an education."
