![]() ![]() Either together or separately, but like I said at times it is about one person and at times it’s about everybody. There is a bunch of song though, I think we all related to “DEVIL,” even though the song is pretty much written about Brent, He has his own demons and struggles but I think all of us at some point with the exception of “GET UP,” even with “GET UP” actually I think we have all gone through every song on the record. Just about your own life and you realize that you’re not always twenty years old and you’re growing older and doing these things in life. Yes, I mean you know I wrote a song with Brent called “special” with Scott Stephens and I feel that one a little bit and I think that’s going to split the crowd a bit, that song, because people are going take it the wrong way with the lyrically content but there is parts in the verses of that song that I have had to deal with for a little while. It’s like you start out in the worst place possible then you end up in a song called “BRILLIANT” which may be one of my favorite songs that we have ever written.Īre any of the depictions from your personal experiences or struggles on this new album that you have went through personally that was put into one of the songs? It is not very self helpy in the sense of you’re telling people what to do, but this person is just doing it and figuring it out on their own. Me and Brent walk the meet and greet line together and Eric and Barry start at the other side and I was next to Brent one time and a kid said he loved Threat To Survival but he asked us if the next record could be not so self helpy *laughs* and I think we took that and put it in the back of our minds while making this. It’s starts in the darkest place in your own life and in the human mind which is “DEVIL” and it comes all the way to the to the bright light which is “BRILLIANT.” I think that in between everybody should take from it what they want. It’s kind of about, you dug yourself this ten foot hole and now you got to figure out how to get out of it. You mentioned that this new album, ATTENTION ATTENTION is a concept record, Could you tell us a little bit about the concept behind this record? But I think the songs individually stand up on their own but they’re definitley meant to be and were recorded to be listened to in a sequence. ![]() ![]() So, for this record I would say it’s meant to be listened to as a full piece of work but at the same time I guess people are going to listen to the radio and hear singles and not the record but like the singles cause a lot of people don’t buy records anymore. ![]() But it is a story all the way through and it’s not just about one person at the time, it’s about all four people in this band but we’ve never been like “oh we’re going to sit down and write a song about the world,” it’s not really how we do things, we write from personal experience and we’re writing about each other. Every record is kind of a forward moving lunge if you will, and it sounds nothing like any other ones, but to me it is the most as far as subject manner and furiousness of the record is the closest thing to Sound Of Madness. I would say because it’s got a lot of dark places in it, it’s got a lot of anger in it, and it’s got a lot of pain in it but it’s a concept record and not necessary the traditional concept record like Dark Side Of The Moon or The Black Parade. I don’t like going backwards, it’s kind of never been what this band has been about. What can fans expect from your new album? Your new album, ATTENTION ATTENTION is being released on May 4th, 2018. “DEVIL” goes over amazing, we’ve been playing it towards the end of the set. Yeah, I mean the applause that follows is pretty loud which is kind of what I judge it by and I guess I would be the same way if somebody played a new song that I have never heard before at a show but at the end of the song, it seems to get a very rockish reaction. The crowd reactions have been amazing actually, For “THE HUMAN RADIO” it’s tougher out of the gate just because we have been playing that song before it came out, so I think if you have a bunch of fans, you know like five thousand people out there that has never heard a song before, trying to figure out how to react to it while it’s happening is a bit of a myth I guess. The plan of attack right now is to make a video for every song on the record, so I think that that gets misinterpreted as a single, it’s actually not the second single. It’s been really good, but “THE HUMAN RADIO” is not a single it is just an instant-grat track, for the fans who preordered the record and get that song instantly. You’re currently out on the road, and I noticed that you are actually performing your two new singles from your forthcoming album, ATTENTION ATTENTION including “DEVIL” and “THE HUMAN RADIO.” What has been the fans reaction to these new songs live so far? ![]()
