It's liberating to live at home during the week, but on the weekend it's like, Jesus Christ, how much History Channel can one human being watch?
I don't write music for critics or hipsters. I write for me.
I think we got started like all bands. We wanted to make some noise, hang out, and have some fun. Remember, we're from Buffalo - there isn't really that much to do. When we started we were a cover band and slowly developed our own material.
I have to let myself be vulnerable in order to have a good marriage. That's something I'm really going to have to work on. A lot of times I'm really guarded because of what I do for a living, what I've done in my life.
I don't like critics; I really don't like them. I think most of them are ignorant and don't have a clue!
I work out. I try to work out every day. That keeps me in the moment, which is great. Keeps my head from thinking about the future and the past too much. I love working out. That really helps me a lot.
I think the work is always personal. This album differs. It seems to be a lot more positive. It seems to have a certain amount of optimism about it.
I'm a guy so I equate vulnerability with fear.
