What inspires you to
create and how do you keep motivated when things get tough?
Inspiration comes from anything - not excluding
nothing. Rock & Roll is as vital and universal as speaking English. We've motivated by the overwhelming influence
and cultural impact Rock & Roll has and will continue to have on Western
civilization and the world.
What do you think is
more important content/finished product or technique/process?
All are equally important. Technique and process are essential to performance, both live and in the studio. The finished products (recordings) allow us to demonstrate our musical aesthetic as ideally as possible. Content, both musical and lyrical, is always important in our music.

styles and sounds.
